⁣Godfrey Bloom is well known for his time as a UKIP MEP in the European Parliament where he served 3 terms, but he joins Hearts of Oak today to discuss all things finance. Godfrey's career was in the military, financial economics and he spent many years as an investment banker. He has written many books including 'The Magic Of Banking: The Coming Collapse'. Godfrey discusses how he has managed to fuse together a life in the army, in politics and in finance. He then then delves into the shadowy financial institutions which control all our lives and have pushed every government into a spiral of debt that will sooner or later collapse the global financial system. We finish by looking at gold and why Godfrey believes it is the perfect store of wealth.
