39 minutes ago, nauseus said:It's called a trade deal - that's what you all forget - and all the UK wants is a fair deal, the concept of which is alien to the EU.

 

The "fundamentals" of the EU project are still being pressed on the UK as if it was a member. It isn't.

Johnson's backers don’t want a deal, he knows that but for the sake of his followers he has to still make them believe the EU needs the UK more, which of course it doesn’t. If you’re waiting for the EU to cave in because the Germans want to sell their cars, or the French sell their cheese, if you really still believe that, start holding your breath right now.

Keep it straight. Pound / Euro has remained fairly flat for the last 3 years.

At the inception of the EUR it was 1.42. What is it now? Those who are still waiting for the EUR to collapse , keep waiting. Nor is the EU imploding.

Do you REALLY believe the infection / death rate in Thailand? If you looked you will see that virtually all the countries that have a low rate are poor destitute countries, ie Sudan, Yemen, Iran, North Korea, Haiti, Mozambique, Venezuala, Congo, Morocco, etc etc  and of course Thailand!

On May 1st the pound was at 40.85 to the baht, which I took. It has since fallen continuously throughout this month, with a one day 'recovery' to 39.05 tonight. Source Transferwise.  

[Wake Up]

The previous world power is now just an island in a global world. It’s size and population is  smaller than some states in USA and provinces of China. Who really desires to buy a currency from a small island country that is arrogant. It also has a terrible history of stealing most of the stuff in the British museum and treating its neighbors the Irish and Scottish terribly.
 

Does anyone like the Brits and does any country need the Brits anymore? 

 

I like the working British people personally. But their monarchy and government are only important for history lessons of a fallen empire. And their currency is like what if Ohio has its own currency. No one would care.

Yeah,

 

Johnson backer here.!!!

 

Look at your silly comments,

 

The EU was never about 28 member states, it was always France and Germany getting their own way and telling everyone else what to do. They never ever wanted the UK, only its contributions.

 

They ridiculed the UK at every opportunity, now they want the UK,locked in with an extension, with no rights OR say, so they can bankrupt the UK into paying ridiculous sums of cash for a failed EU project. In the meantime demanding rights to fishing grounds and all kinds of add ons.

 

They didn't want the political declaration as a standing agreement or written into law, but now they want the UK to accept all its terms.

 

The UK can make cars and cheese by the way! We do not need the French or the Germans.

 

The UK may have a tough time, but we will survive.

 

This is from,

 

A UK taxpayer, and proud we are out of the disgusting corrupt EU.

Ridiculous response. Plain daft.

Its asinine to argue about Brexit now. Its a done deal. What we need to do now is deal with the consequences.

And there are going to be many consequences. What we can not allow to happen is for Brexiteers to rewrite timelines and claim they didnt make the promises they did.

No worse off than if we had remained. 350 million a week for the NHS. No customs border in Ireland. Easiest trade deals in history. You all know the stuff I'm talking about.

So lets get to those sunny uplands full of unicorns.

The subject:

Should have been The pound falls to a

135+ year low.

What can you buy for a pound? 2 bags

The UK cannot support itself without

imports. Not enough industry or food.

The Thais have, so the ฿ will remain strong

against an increasingly knackered pound.

Forex market speculating, typically. There's big money to be made with a sure thing and as said the UK powers-that-be aren't really bothered - no face loss in the real world with a deflated currency, esp in dire times. When economies reboot, you want your currency undervalued... not that that is it. Aside: with few if any Brits traveling overseas in 2020, it really makes no odds. No good for you folks in lalaland of course. Sympathies.

So how soon do you see the GBP achieving parity with the THB? And then with the satang??????

The UK was in an economic mess before Covid. Now its in a hopeless situation. The Covid crisis has not been handled well and even the basic stuff like Track & Trace and testing has not yet been properly worked out. A No Deal Brexit looks on the cards - which would be a wooden stake through the heart of what is left of manufacturing and seriously hobble financial services.  At the moment there seems to be no plan to deal with the double-whammy of Covid and Brexit.

Who in their right mind does not think Sterling will drop sharply and inflation take off?

If the UK was a company would you buy shares in it?!

The cherry on the cake is the new Immigration Bill which the government expects to lead to 80k fewer EU immigrants but 50k MORE non-EU immigrants AND their families....InshAllah.  And if some of you still cling to the notion that 'non-EU' means Australia, NZ and Canada then think again!  Peace be upon you all, my brothers..

How can people say Brexit is not working out so good. We haven't left yet (fully).
