All the currencies fluctuate depending of inflation and how well the country is doing. Fast changed to the value of one currency normally means that something is very wrong with that country. 

 

I guess this has been proven right. 

correct currencies do well when the big boys/traders think a country has a bright future,badly when they dont,now how is that £ doing these days?

    Though the Brexit Party is grabbing all of the headlines (& the largest number of seats) it's worth pointing out that the Anti-Brexit parties actually did better than those that were pro-Brexit...

You have spent the last few years stating that Corbyn & Labour would be the next Government , what was it ? 7% of the vote that they got on the Euro elections ?

Yes, the thing that is wrong with the UK is that the Politicians cannot decide what to do and there doesnt seem to be an end in sight to the current turmoil

14.1 percent of the vote, actually.

It speaks volumes about the chronic failure of the UK's political class that the most likely person to be the next Prime Minister is either Boris Johnson, Jeremy Corbyn, or Nigel Farage.

 

When mainstream politics reneges on its duty, the door is opened to the wackos.

He has more chance than farage, i will admit the lib dem surge has shocked me and many others but they will scrap brexit so maybe it wasnt such a shock,labour and the cons have no option but to scrap brexit or similar,fartage wont get anywhere near enough seats, a decent percentage of overall voters yes but its seats that matter.

Me neither i will be euro millionaire once your predictions true and iam young enough to be you son...cheers daddy teddy

So, which one exchange currency rate do you rely on?
 
Or are you going to say that you are so darn rich, you don't have to rely on anything? Typical brexiteer.
I am not rich let me assure you..but I have enough thai baht to cover my needs for a good few years.
Anything else you wish to know..just write on a postcard and pop it in the post old boy.

I might do that. Dare to give me your address?
 
I can only guess that you don't have any income from the UK. 


Only small income in the UK..which is there if ever needed.
You see..people moan about this and that re Thailand..but compared to the UK the cost of living is far less...one more thing..imo..the Thai health service is FAR SUPERIOR to the nhs in the UK.

would that be your old age pension as your aged 67,you may just be correct about the cost of living being cheaper but not by much and its barely cheaper than several EU nations, and food and drink are far inferior ,as for the thai health service it is indeed good but i would still rate it lower than the NHS and you are paying for it.

I see where you come from. So you have enough money to live by here in Thailand. 

 

You don't really care of the people in the UK, nor would you care about British people here in Thailand. 

As long as you are ok and your life is secured. 

Thanks for this clarification. 

I would not call that patriotism. I would call it as selfishness. But it's your choice and your life. You are allowed to live your only life the way you wish. 

That is quite an unfair attitude to take .

You specifically asked him a question about his income and he answered .

Your accusations of him being selfish are unjustified and unwarranted

Selfishness in these Brexit topic is invariably the domain of the Remain faction. Constant harping about Brexit's (temporary) unfavourable exchange rates affecting their retirement in Thailand, while the 67 Million in UK have to endure the shackles of still being in the EU.

The finance houses have left U....the pound on its own is now isolated and week...UK is a service economy, the remnants of manufacturing are leaving.....unless the Thai baht crashes, which is highly unlikely BTW, expats relying on money from UK can look forward to exchange rates between 25 and 30 to the pound in the next couple of years.

Together with rampant inflation on the pound at home.

Now explain how the rest of the western currencies managed to crash without having Brexit.

Australia 30%, USA 15%, Canada 20% ............. comparing to the other western currencies Brexit may have accounted for a 5% loss in the pound/baht.

 

Did the finance houses and manufacturing leave Australia?

If they did, I missed it.

But do mind that there are a lot of people who are a lot less well off than you are. They also deserve a worthy life, wherever they live. I suppose you don't think so, as you are well off to the end of your days.

Wrong..I DO CARE about my friends and their families back in the UK..they happen to be BREXITEERS the same as myself.
Re UK expats in Thailand..I keep in touch with some..and surprise surprise..they also are BREXITEERS.
You have a lovely day.

Well at least he is well off and cheers on  Brexit on secure in his finances (if true). If so hat's off to him I applaud folk who have done well and prepared a nest egg for their old age like myself. I have more than enough for myself and my wife's needs and no kids. If I am to feel any pity it's for the impoverished Thai loving Brexiteers who are seeing their dream literally smashed up on 2 fronts. Thai visa requirements and a rapidly shrinking pound. They are now getting relentlessly screwed and still 'remain' the driving force behind Brexit and sadly think it will turn their life around. BTW Dominic Cummins the evil genius who made this all happen thinks that the working class are thick intellectually but should be pitied and helped nevertheless probably similar to 'best-selling' author Jacob Ress-Mogg.

Cummings adds: “One can both listen to basic science on genetics and regard as a priority the improvement of state schools; accepting we are evolved creatures does not mean ‘giving up on the less fortunate’.”

So, there you have it, less prosperous Brexit voters, the man who sold you Brexit says you are poor because you have inferior genes and brains, and better education won’t change that.

 

 

If Brexit wins, the UK will be headed uncontrollably towards a fascist state.......if anyone can't see that then look at Gemany from between the wars and see that history is now repeating itself.......

Like his bluster that he is a wealthy man......#brexitpoundcrashingfacesavingnonsense.....plus if most of his money is in Baht as he says he has a vested interest in a falling pound as his safety net when he comes back uninsurable to the socialist NHS. Clever stuff (if true) like JRM talking sovereignty but enriching himself overseas....

“oh God” I think you got that the wrong way round. The E.U. And their puppets have managed to brainwash many Europeans, thankfully more and more thinking people are starting to ask questions.

 Not quite so. Having returned to live in the U.K , having lived in Thailand for many years. I’ve always been a big supporter of our NHS, taking great pride in our national treasure. However now, after observing how it actual provides a vital service to the population, I am beginning to appreise my opinion. This is not to say, I’m for a private health system, it’s just my opinion,and of senior medical professionals, who I have spoken to, that the NHS service is now jammed with too much red tape and Bureaucracy.

 While in Thailand the rich can and do receive good medical treatment, in their hotels/hospital, while for the general population, it’s down to a certain extent on luck, same as the U.K.

I'll bet if Farage ever gets within a whiff of being PM we'll be well on a way to 30 baht to a pound.  Remember when we though pre-Brexit 50 was a disaster? Though as one Brexit supporting Norwegian here remarked a lot of better off Europeans in Thailand are cheering on the UK's demise and believe it will shake out some of the impoverished Brit riff-raff from the Kingdom.
