GBP to Peso 3rd May 2014 75.089  18th April 2018 74.669 21st March 2019 69.87 

The 18th April figures indicates there has been little impact on GBP to Peso as a result of Brexit

So you are looking forward when the EU crashes and you will be getting €2.00 for each of your British pound

So dropping from 69 to 64 minutes after the vote was coincidece...3 years later and these people still deny the facts..iam not expecting the EU to crash,if it does it wont effect me you or any UK folks very much,leaving a club and wishing it bad luck is a little sad imo but thats brexiteers for you,the EU nationals wont have to wait long to see the brits feeling the strain of going it alone,you might even get bought a few beers off???? some out of sympathy when your sitting on 7/11 steps drinking from a brown paper bag

I am looking at the period for the past 5 years clearly on the 18th April 2018 when the GBP to peso was 74.669 indicates 

there has been little impact on GBP to Peso as a result of Brexit over a 5 year period

And it was you in your post #5252 that stated "i will be fine in portugal when the EU crashes i should be getting €2.00 for my mighty pound"

So it does seem your happy for the Euro to crash to enable you to get your €2.00 for your pound

Could be sorted. But, we need to keep the riff-raff out, Only genuine Brexiteers would be welcome. I was thinking cheese on toast as a snack, with some of my wine to wash it down and then get the girls dancing.

 

I would be willing to do a 15 minute stand up on the "Joy of Brexit". And once the beer starts flowing well who knows what might happen.

 

I'm near Nong Khai so it's a fair old trip. It would be well worth it; just to be with civilized and dedicated Brexiteers.

 

On the day; to get any freebies, we would need a password. I'm suggesting 'freedom'.

enjoy the party,and your expensive beers and wines ????

So what’s the plan, boys?

Are we good to go?

 

I’m glad we’ve had so long to prepare.  You wouldn’t want to make a decision like this without planning for every eventuality

[beautifulthailand99]

Corbyn has refused to rule out A50 revocation , SNP  are a given enough tories will put country over party and we are over the line, by the skin of our teeth and at the last moment. A lot of tories may abstain in the hope of saving their seats. 

 

It occurs to me that what may is planning is that once her deal is defeated she will push for "no deal" in the knowledge that parliament will block it and revoke (or whatever). 
Then she can resign - being to able say with her hand on her heart - that she tried her best to give us Brexit - but the backstabbers, faint hearts and quislings of parliament sabotaged her dutiful and courageous efforts. 

 

Oh and then the pound will soar and the Thai contingent of Brexiteers can donate their extra baht to some type of Farage rump party that will need their money to lose their deposits at the next election. 

 

To show solidarity to the cause have changed my profile pic to the wonderful EU flag !

I think so!

Around 80pc of British businesses believe they are ready for a no deal Brexit as the Bank of England revealed that the economy is accelerating ahead of the UK's scheduled departure from the EU.

There is "no sign of Brexit blues among consumers" after another month of strong retail sales, according to Pantheon Macro economist Samuel Tombs.

He added that "solid" consumer spending could offset the slump in business investment. Mr Tombs explained:

"Consumers’ spending accounts for two-thirds of GDP, so the downturn in business investment would have to become much more severe to tip the economy into recession."

Public sector borrowing fell by £18bn in the financial year to February, from £41bn in 2017/18 to £23.1bn in 2018/19. A £31.9bn increase in receipts vs a £12.9bn increase in current spending were the main drivers.

Public finances are in their strongest shape for 17 years ahead of Brexit after Government borrowing figures beat expectations again in February.

Following January's record surplus, borrowing rose to £0.2bn in February, leaving the Government on course to deliver its smallest deficit since 2001.

How are things going in the Recession Zone?

Given the latest EU 2-month offer to extend Withdrawal May 22 (due to the UK not intending running the EU elections) plus subject to passing the agreement prior to the current deadline, the choice is shaping up to be no-deal vs pulling A50.

It was yourself that 1st raised the subject about the EU crashing and if the pound is crashing down , you will get 1 euro for two of your mighty pounds however it is yourself that is suggesting that GBP will be strong and the strongest to date was on October 27th 2000

The strongest the pound has ever been against the euro is 1.7331.

We use proportional representation in Belgium, which mean a coalition government. 

If the people voted 49.99% for one party, but all the other parties decide to form a coalition, the party with 49,99% will be in the opposition. 

Democracy : 50,01 is higher than 49,99.

At present the UK doesn't but the way this shower have been behaving, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a complete political shake up off the HoC and HoL, in the coming years. IMHO it is way overdue.

I stull think that the both won't happen. I would be happy with a no deal as I have said many times, as it is as close to what i consider Brexit to be.. Pulling article 50 would cause the biggest political upheaval in the UK''s political history since Cromwell. No something will come out in these theatrics that has been happening recently IMO.

Anyway like the clapometer on OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS - the petition is just a bit of fun. So next week we have either May's Bill passes (unlikely ) then the 400 or so Remain MPs are left with a stark choice Revoke A50 which the EU has assured us can be done or go out with No Deal. So in that event and Corbyn has been speaking with Barnier and hasn't ruled it out - what do you think the most likely outcome is ? How can it be done ...oh and Herr Bercow will ensure all the parliamentary mechanism are fast-tracked to get it through. Oh and honest, keep his pledges Nigel (no remoaner liar he) will leave the country and you my friends will get to take your country Baht back and have sovereignty over your finances.  What's not too like?

All this talk of civil war and worse is bunk - they'll be moaning from the usual suspects and the ageing keyboard warriors here but most Brits will just be glad to be rid of this nightmare and get on with their jobs and life. Currently, the best odds are for this outcome at 5/2. P.S Hughie would have been a hard-right Brexiteer nasty piece of work that he was.
