No facts, figures, or rebuttals.........just weak, tepid insults which is all you have.

Perfect, will save me a fortune to take my family to the UK in Oct.

Thank God  for Brexit, all I can hope for more is Scotland leaving the UK.

Same 37 as when I came here in Oct 1992.

Totally predictable and as previously stated it will be Valentines day at the earliest before daylight appears between the post-brexit pound and the mickey-mouse institution we're abandoning.

Totally predictable that Hard Brexiteers don't have a clue. Setting up one imaginary date in the future after another for when the upside is going to happen.

Ahhhhh.....Project Fear. The British equivalent of the US Deep State.......................both figments of the imagination.

Sterling's fall isn't a figment of anybody's imagination.

maybe you wishes come thru sooner than expected...... now 1 Pound = 37.23 bath

GBPTHB dropping below 40 was a psychological shock. The next uncomfortable wall is 36. = 10% further drop from 40. The 'can it hold 39-38-37?' Chatter getting softer.

If the Parliamentary opposition to Boris shows next week that it is able to get its act together in blocking no-deal Brexit, then Sterling is potentially heading for a substantial bounce. The markets are not yet convinced that this will happen which is why Sterling is still staying low but holding there. Game not over.

Scotland leaving the UK, It won't happen. Even though your anti British sentiments show your bias they had a referendum in 2014, the once in a generation vote, were more people voted to remain in the UK.

 

You have more chance of other countries leaving your precious EU IMO.

However, in percentage terms more people in Scotland voted to stay in the EU in the Brexit vote in 2016 (62% to 38%) than voted to stay in the UK in the independence referendum in 2014 (55% to 45%). So, logically the Scottish people could very well decide to leave the UK in order to stay in the EU - that is if they are allowed another referendum.

Actually, the incoming govt. is supposed to carry out their manifesto - not decide afterwards "what happens next"!

 

There was a GE in '17 (IIRC) - and the remain supporting parties lost badly.  Both the conservatives and labour manifestos were to respect the referendum result.

 

Yes, the tories lost a lot of seats in the GE, and I hope to one day find out why they came out with other policies that would clearly lose them a lot of votes.....

Well maybe Labour will state the same when a GE is called. Only their main aim is to stay in the customs union and possibly the single market.

        Does Corbyn have an agenda ?.  

         He is totally inadequate , Labour party is not effective in opposition .

         We get what we vote... Tory party are indeed  blessed , having Corbyn as opposition leader. 

         All part of the plan ? ...

 

 

Quite agree, I have no idea why he hasn't been turfed out.

Do you think people in Newcastle should be allowed to remain in the EU, whilst there neighbours Sunderland be allowed to leave?

It was an UK referendum.

London would jump tomorrow at the opportunity to stay in and leave the northern grumpies to their nationalist wallow

Actually bought some Sterling on Friday towards the end of business. Not a big deal but in anticipation of that potential anti no-deal bounce. The rate not as good as earlier in the month, but should I have waited? Next week exciting.

Surely the last one they had was a once in a lifetime referendum.

Have you considered it was Labour’s manifesto that won Labour the massive swing to Labour?

Even I wouldn't flog that one.

Yes it will. Insulation from the idiocy of others for one. And the laughter of others as proud TV Brexit pensioners meekly return to the UK while swearing that the collapse of the Pound is what they wanted all along.

And the UK they return to will still be full of 'Pakis', 'Asylum seekers', 'Nig nogs' and the rest. Nor will Boris care about you. Your patriotism is miguided.

Actually, Hard Brexiteer nationalism is right on the money there. 25-30% trashing of Sterling and accompanying excuses has got to be one of their finest achievements. Clowns the lot of them [emoji1782]

It makes little difference to people living in the UK , (what the Pound /Baht exchange rate is)

Indeed it doesn't makes a difference today, but it will in the future, since that pound doesn't only decline against that Baht but about every currency in the world so future imports will get more expensive in pounds.

 

Don't you think the importers and retailers gonna increase their prices towards the consumer?
