"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George Orwell -
I sink my head in disbelief that we have arrived at this cross-roads.
The value of a currency is mainly detremined by the value of goods and services that a country can provide within its borders and also export in addition to the returns on pure investments using that particular currency.
Are we to now say that the £ is worth f-all almost.
Who is to blame for this terrible situation ourselves for sleepwalking into this situation ? the financial regulators or the governement itself ? or all the above ?
this has seriously fecked my plans up in life to escape from dull island.Comment

How wonder how much of this has to do with a more honest behaviour in conducting international politics. I mean, look at Italy and what Berlusconi says.... "our banks will never fail, we will create millions of jobs". If something wrong happens, it is immediately covered up and ignored. The media don't spread doom everywhere. I don't think that the state of UK economy is that f..ked up at all, it's only that they reveal it openly to the world. However, yes, in the long term everything comes to the light so perhaps it was better this way rather then covering the situation until a full collapse.Originally posted by eliquant View PostI've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

Currency is based on the value of the people who sell their labour for it. Germans sell their labour for Euros, therefore you need to buy Euros to purchase German labour.
The pound is the currency of chavs, moneylenders and BTLer's.Comment

if Gordon reduces interest rates further £1 will be less than a EuroThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

My mother-in-law and her partner put in an offer on a house in Portugal about two weeks ago.
Unfortunately every day makes their offer less attractive to the seller (who has tentatively agreed it).
So the more this goes on, the less likely I am to get rid of her
Consider people like me during this crisis.Comment

Are you taking the piss?Originally posted by Beefy198 View Post
You seriously think that people who can afford to bid for a house in foreign country should really be helped or thought over? It's a ****ing crisis right now, batten down the hatches and keep cash dry, even if it's in GBP.Comment
