    Today's crash can be termed as a "run" on the Sterling.

    How long before the masses are rioting outside 10, Downing street and waiting to hang the one eyed demon for treason ?

        Looks like round one went to USD (DimPrawn) as it climbed higher against Sterling than the Euro (AtW). Can it continue? Does the market take a breath to collect profits and have another go later?

          Yeah they've got to take a breath, but there are some reoprts due out today - cant remember which - which might start another slide

            I can't decide whether I missed the boat for today or whether to climb aboard a life raft and get those foreign currency accounts created ASAP.

              Give him a big hug and vote him in again.

              The Tory lead has vanished. The great unwashed love the Winky Mc Fcuknut.

                Hee Hee.

                I wonder how much the snot goblin is going to spend defending his 'reputation' before someone stands up to him and shouts, "ENOUGH! YOU FRACKING LOONIE! YOU'RE RUINING US ALL"
                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  Apparently McRuin has YouGov practically in his pocket.

                  Also, they mainly poll people in marginal constituencies, and people at home during weekdays, meaning of course that they're far more likely to be doleys (or benched contractors )

                      Plenty of people _have_ been shouting that. But his advisors daren't tell him, at least not if they don't want a Nokia embedded in their skull. So he lives in a delusional cocoon.
