And now it turns out that the list of side effects of a crazy night must add a new fear: having emptied the bank account only a click to get home.

Coal is the most polluting of all the fossil fuels.

John Bennett, Henderson’s head of European equities, thinks our memories really are that short and that there are ominous signs in the markets he watches.
