If Germany left the EU the Mark would go the same way against the ¥ and $ as £.

And the £ has stabilised, for now at least.

That it is still 12% above the financial meltdown vs the € just demonstrates how weak the EU and indeed German economy is.

No signs yet of reduced fdi. Trading to continue as before so no reason why fdi should fall.

Gideon has changed his tune dramatically. No need for an emergency budget suddenly. Quelle surprise!

Plenty of business leaders just getting on with it.

If you lot want to keep wallowing then you have a democratic right to do so, but you will be left behind.

Trading is not FDI.
It is exactly this sort of economic illiteracy that caused the problem in the first place.
If you lot want to be in denial then you have a democratic right to do so, but you will soon face reality.

...sneering at others who are not as rich as you...

Unlike you I don't love so money so much that I tried to keep all of it.
Haven't you got over your love of money yet?
Clearly not otherwise you wouldn't keep projecting it on other people.

Yeah what wouldn't I give to have Britain have that kind of economic problem - a strong currency because investors know the underlying economy is solid.
As it is the money knows this economy is a house of cards.
But we didn't need a big bad wolf to blow it down, the stupid little piggies inside did it all by themselves.

Voted for by 2 groups of people. Feckless unemployed sponging off the country. And feckless fat cats sponging off the country.

DC totally misjudged the mood of the country. People are fed up with pressure on housing and services. And growing inequality. From your property in Guildford, living on beans on toast and sneering at others who are not as rich as you(you only way of judging people) you have no idea.

The fact that some are calling for the referendum result to be ignored speaks volumes.

Personally I would like to see changes to immigration and a ban on overseas ownership of private property.

Which would be hugely to their detriment. Their exports have been helped for years by a weak currency, held back by the PIIGS.

How sad that after cocking up the country the only comfort you can find is if our neighbours also get cocked up. If Gemany left the Euro zone, the deutsch mark would rise not tank.

Is she 182.88cm under?

Bastard EU regulations demanded 180 cm. It broke my poor Great Aunt's heart.

As long as the UK can abolish the metric system, then my Gran will be happy. Not that she's with us anymore, bless her soul.

There is going to be a compromise....

“No-one on the leave side doesn’t want free trade with Europe,” prominent pro-leave MEP Daniel Hannan just said on BBC News.

As far as Europe goes, it should be possible to stay inside an arrangement with the EU with bilateral deals, which would allow for free movement, but what we will not have are foreign courts deciding who can come into the UK.

This should make all but he racists happy. Reverse Maastricht

.. Britain is now the first country to leave, but it certainly won’t be the last. As that pressure grows and grows, and as the euro starts to fracture, the region is going to struggle even more.

By Christmas, the U.K. will have started to resolve its economic future. But the rest of Europe will be dealing with the fallout for years — and that will make it virtually impossible to invest in....

Farage already kicking off

It's far too early to say whether this a catastrophe or not.

We are only just into the biggest political upheaval in Europe since the 1940's. Turbulence and general wailing and nashing of teeth are to be expected.

What we need right now is for some political leadership.

Everyone needs to MTFU.

I think we need a unity coalition government - batting for Team GB.

Well... We haven't triggered the Article 50 yet.
