    Why? Vey simple, the pound won't be 'rebounding' in 2-weeks time.

    In 2009 sterling touched 1.07 against the euro and only stayed there for a matter of days. Watch now what happens when it stays there for months

    No corner of the earth will be immune from the screams.
    Since we are in the EU for a while yet (out by 2019 maybe), doesn't this mean a big payrise for Brits working in the EU. So in a way, it is paying those in the EU to save up and then return to the UK very wealthy individuals.

      Hence why it seems a better idea to bring article 50 forward to next week rather than April 1st. The currency is only going to be a risk from a thrashing over the next 5 months.

      Even if you were earning loads in the EU before brexit would you want to return to the UK that's shifted itself so far to the right?

          what way will the UK have shifted to the right? Is it right wing tpoextract oneself from supporting the Brussels bureaucracy?

            It's a shift towards real democracy, it's the best thing to happen to Britain since the end of WWII.

              Good morning fellow citizens of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. And the moaners, most of whom are elsewhere in countries in Europe. (Europe still isn't a country btw).

              Question: the IMF thought that Sterling should be devalued by 15% to balance our economy. It now is. Why is the IMF wrong? (I think they are muppets but that's by beside the point).

              Question: when the £:EUR hit 1.05 in 2009 we didn't get significantly worse off then. Why is it different now?

              Question: if 10% tariffs are applied to imports and exports to the EU and the £ has fallen against the EUR, who is most likely to benefit and who is most likely to lose out, given that the cost of GB goods in the EU will be roughly the same and cost of EUR goods in the UK will be 20% higher?

              Please write your answers neatly. You may use scrap paper but calculators are not permitted.
              Devalue Sterling so that foreign investors can buy up cheap UK stocks and shares. The UK will be sold out to foreign buyers, this is just what the hedge fund operators and Murdoch wanted.

              The IMF now acts like a global loan shark, exerting enormous leverage over the economies of more than 60 countries. These countries have to follow the IMF's policies to get loans, international assistance, and even debt relief. Thus, the IMF decides how much debtor countries can spend on education, health care, and environmental protection. The IMF is one of the most powerful institutions on Earth

                I don't ken voting for the PM, the prejudice against listing non-UK citizens, selling national assets, yadda yadda.

                Democracy as the Greeks meant it to be has not existed in the UK for some while.

                  You probably need to research how democrat the Greeks actually were then...

                      I thought you were all getting EU passports, so you won't get back in.

                      You lot are delusional.
