oh no currency has dropped again

You are f***ing joking. Class C drivers don't last more than a few weeks. They are paid less the shelf stackers. HGV drivers are on about £12 per hour.

My point exactly hauliers pay peanuts , use cheap foreign labour to undercut locals and now we are supposed to feel sorry for them.

Now if hauliers offered training and then paid a decent wage lots of people might consider it.

The people instrumenting brexit have been so good they should be in history books.
They’ve won the argument without a single fact, we should accept it and be humble to their craftsmanship.

you are wasting your time with arguments. The news about shortages are probably about something else. It’s never so direct in the message, they might be setting the ground to cut furlong scheme and benefits soon or a new hot narative.

Rule of thumb: if there is a problem that is bothering society, it never gets in the news unless they really want it to.

Paranoia tulipe.

I thought we were supposed to be broke and worthless by now.

It all depends where you pick your start point. 2011 was a bad time of Stirling. Pick a point like June 2014 and you can extract another story. Exchange rate is just one part of the overall economic picture. Nice try though.

2011 was before Brexit was seriously mooted.

If you leave it until 2014 then the campaign was under way.

Maybe the 2014 high was because everyone was pro brexit?

I went back 10 years and we have recovered to there after Brexit started despite Covid I thought that was impressive considering Brexit was lauded as more destructive than a super comet.

Maybe give it 10 years and it will be €2 to the pound? or ice versa.

Since exchange rates are only on measure of economic growth or otherwise, so what? Anyway, the point Remainers have always made is that the country is worse off under Brexit than staying in the EU. That simply means the economy doesn't grow as fast as it would have otherwise, which, unless you've access to some alternate dimension is utterly impossible to demonstrate.

As it would have been if the country had chosen to remain.

The arguments are rather more subtle than a few graphs. Unless you're scoots, in which case they're utter proof that you've no clue.

Yep and that explains why it crashed when Leave won.

The referendum result had the same effect on the pound as the 2008 financial crisis (dropping from over 1.40 to below 1.10).

When the currency drops, brextulipers say it is a positive benefit of brexit. When the currency rises they say it's great news for the results of brexit. There are no positive benefits of brexit for the UK, brextulipers are scraping the bottom of the barrel to find even one positive.
Yesterday Farrage on his Youtube Channel was saying the great success of brexit was stopping EU immigration; no mention of the fishermen and farmers or immigration from the rest of the world.

If we consider <$1.40 to be a strong pound then yes, we're doing great.
