          This is the first time I have ever agreed with ATW. That not withstanding, I wholeheartedly agree with the aforementioned esteemed poster on this issue.

              Watch and see GBP fall back to lows of $1.30 to a pound later this year as the world realises the UK isn't going to afford it's debt payments.

                  Yanks just hoiked there national debt to 3.5Trillion and counting. They are in technical default according to the laws of Guillome Greengrass laws or whatever it's called. And they just move the ceiling.

                  It's creditors see this. They know what they are going to do.

                    No need to be vulgar, dear boy.
                    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                      Debt repayments are in GBP you numpty, not dollars.

                      It's another matter that yields would have to go up as GBP becomes less attractive as a currency, and sales of gilts may go down but there is a solution for this - printing presses can solve all money problems.
