I'm actually in Greece at the moment but not seen any change in Germany yet. I don't get why you anyone wouldn't want a strong UK economy and a strong EU economy. I want both to do well, either together or separately. What do you actually want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pound fell following today's news, and it's being steadily dropping for some time now. Yes, it might increase over a short, meaningless period of a week, but the overall trend has not been good. Why don't you want a strong UK economy and a strong EU economy? They are good for each other. Edited August 28, 2019 by mojomonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are good for each other. Not steadily dropping. Not fallen today. It's 1.10euro now, it was 1.05 last week, I think. It's up and down. Once the nonsense is out of the way it will go back up. Markets hate uncertainty. They are fine so long as they know what they are working with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true. They think they know better what's good for you. That's the whole problem. You don't agree with them, ergo you are thick. I reckon that will be the campaign message in the general election.

Don't disagree about the uncertainty, the shower of UK elected members are responsible for that. However you have to blind not to see that the Pound has steadily dropped since the referendum result.

Yes it has gone down since before the referendum - all 3 above posts are valid. A lot of the drop has been driven by nothing more than Project Fear. However, the rate that is often quoted from just before the referendum was as artificially high as the rate now is artificially low. Here is a graph that will demonstrate that between 2000 and 2012 the pound reduced in value from 1.73euro to 1.11euro. So on the same principle being used to knock Brexit, we must have been doing absolute crap in the European Union. https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/bank-of-england-spot/historical-spot-exchange-rates/gbp/GBP-to-EUR Edited August 28, 2019 by woolley 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 So, a parliamentary coup then with Mogg and the boys driving up (in his Roller ?) to Balmoral today to inform the Queen. Never thought I'd see this. The fireworks are well and truly lit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
