Brexit turmoil hits the pound

[Jonathan Fairfield]

????????????

 

[Kwasaki]

Yes the indecision of TM and poncing about to try and get a deal should of been over-with and a no deal plan already in place.

[Daveyh]

We should just walk away. No deal, no payment .... nothing. Two world wars & the Germans are dictating to the other members within the EU, with support (surprise, surprise) from France who we liberated from their clutches! 

Lest we forget ............. our fallen must be turning in their graves. They owe us & they should be paying back all that money we borrowed during these wars & after, plus all the millions we spent helping europe to rebuild. We were broke then & no one helped us ....... I'd let them rot personally. Their treatment of the UK is shameful ...... fact.

[dotpoom]

??? I thought the "hold up" was trying to avoid a "hard border" between Northern and Southern Ireland. That is a really difficult hurdle to overcome 

[nickmondo]

that is a very small fall in the value of the pound against the baht, and has been doing this for ages

[Pedrogaz]

Crap negotiating by Britain. They should have played hard ball. No one had heard of Hard and Soft Brexits when they voted....they just voted to leave. We should pay nothing and leave on March 19th. Britain is too valuable a market for the EU to lose....if they lost the sales to us they would have a major recession, and so sense will prevail at some point. But the EU negotiated in bad faith.

Shame on you. Without EU UK would not have performed up to now. Good thing: in a few years people with your mind won't be seen anymore just by going the way of nature. With people like you it's not possible to build a society of peace, freedom, democracy and respect

EU democratic? those two words don't belong together. May is dragging her feet and deserves the boot. I am surprised she has lasted so long. Difficult situation I suppose but surely there has been enough time to get it done.

Me too, unless the definition of democracy means one group of unelected fatcats imposing their will over everyone in sight.....

I also agree with @Daveyh and @Pedrogaz   and @guest879above.

 

If Lady Thatcher was the "Iron Lady", May is "The tin-can bi**h"

AND...I'm a Conservative by both choice and nature!

Shockingly awful post.

Just wait to see what's round the corner. 

Just give the war a miss, everyone else is over it.

No, the leavers offered people unicorns and rainbows, this would be the easiest negotiation in history, they need us more than we need them, we would all be considerably better off. How’s that working for you? All lies, and the liars have abandoned ship like the rats they are ... we are heading for another vote ... and lies will not win the day. Oh how we laughed!

[sammieuk1]

As an expat now tired of paying for Brexit from day one I don't care anymore the damage is done the whole country looks to be falling into the channel along with a hapless inept government????

I'd say it's right on the nail. Ungrateful goits.

[Sumarianson]

I hated Margret Thatcher but I must say, she would have solved this by now and got the deal she wanted and not Europe. Exit without a deal and pay no more money to them

The people voted Leave, the govt failed to deliver on account of the PM and most of the cabinet being Remainers. No lies involved, the people made up their own minds.

Thatcher wouldn't have been stupid enough to hold a referendum. She knew that 'leadership' means defending The People against their own ignorance & irrationality.

[shackleton]

we are still in the European Union wait until we do leave 

then you will see a Fall in the pound plus the loss of jobs but its what the Majority of people voted for

Nobody more bigoted than those clowns in Brussels!

 

You talk about the war was years ago, now let it go?  

 

Was it only this week that Macron with the agreement of Merkel was promoting a formidable EU Army to be organized and militarized?

 

It certainly wasn't the U.K. promoting this.

[joecoolfrog]

Some deluded posts here , Brexit was always going to be tough , Farage knew that full well which is why he ran away so fast.

T May had an impossible task and for all the criticism I am yet to see a better plan from anybody else.

Boris , Rees - Mogg and co talk about just leaving with no deal.

Well they are wealthy enough not to worry about GDP and Sterling falling off a cliff , hope their supporters on this thread are similarly loaded.

[joecoolfrog]

Incidently there is now every chance that the government will fall and Corbyn will end up @ number 10.

Sterling will then really hit rock bottom , the UK will have 5 years of utter financial mismanagement and we will still not have the Brexit that Boris desired....good work !!!

Ohhh you remember  WW2, I remember the One Hundred Years War. Please don't be ridiculous. 

I guess there are a few like you across the Chanel, but I don't think even Farage or Johnson  could have written such nonsense.

Not so...the trend is only weakening in the context of Brexit, pre-vote the trend was very different.

The two Brexit secretaries are arch Brexiteers, and both of them failed to deliver, because the promises made in 2016 could never be delivered. They quit and are now trying to distance themselves from the smell of their own shit.
