    True. They're so stupid they couldn't see this coming.

    Whereas the rich (real rich, not contractors ) that funded/voted Brexit know how to make money from the turbulence.

    Yes, every month. But it is the governor who writes to the Chancellor and has been doing so each month for a while now. He just mails the Chancellor "refer to last month's report, nothing's changed".

    So forego one of the seven luxury holidays per year and don't buy a new Xbox One X

    Sorted.

    They are. Soon their will be hyper-inflation with wage rises to match. Pensions and savings will be totally wiped out. Youngsters will be able to afford a house and throw the oldies on the scrap heap.
