    Sterling has been on swing worse than the gents moods. before the virus it was trading at $1.30 and the Thai baht at 40.
    Now its dropped against both currencies and remainers are trying to blame it all on brexit.
    As losers, you do not get to pick your favourite cause.
    Cyrille seems to get more angry and bitter every time he posts. I think he and seeking ass are in some kind of cataclysmic tryst.

    The currency’s are reacting to events, predominantly outside bsexit, now that the EU are obliged to consider something other than a socialist fantasy. Someone other than UK must pay for that fantasy and they It won’t be the butterfly’s of this world or his geographic partners. They simply don’t have the stomach for it.

    The virus will likely precipitate the inherent weakness in that fantasy, and cause its collapse.

    Yup.

    Haven't posted a damn thing linking any falls in sterling over the last few days to brexit, or even read about such, but our resident bj specialist tries to make us responsible for anything anybody ever says about it.

    If he looks hard enough he'll probably find a remainer who believes the earth is flat too, and then we'll be for it. The apostrophes for plural nouns will be flying around from that semi-literate head bobber.

    The collapse and fantasies were already baked in, by western and some eastern countries financial decisions taken years ago.

    Cause and effect are generally obvious to most with functioning brains but when it comes to Brexit idiots, it is really no more than an exercise in fantasy onanism.

    God, how boring these numpties truly are.
    When you have nothing new to add, just regurgitate anything you said previously. It doesn’t change material facts.

    Are you suggesting that seeking ass has not posted this? He attributes the worsening exchange rates to Brexit making the rates much much worse.

    I have no interest in what you think. Your opinion is devalued by your all too altruisic view on your paymasters.
    Of course currency values are affected by changes to interest rates, oil prices and corona virus, to name but a few. It’s quite some feat of linguistic gymnastics to blame Brexit on CURRENT financial losses to cherry picked currencies. His fascination with the USD is quite macarbre.

    Im sure the likes of you and the gent have given due credence to the flat earth society. How else could people be so stupid as to continue to defend a lost cause?
    Your views and support for the dim gent connect you to everything he says, almost making you as slavish to those views as butterfly. The fact that my remarks were directed at him, and your willing defence of those comments means you just don’t read very well professor.

    Indeed, referencing one's currency to the world's reserve currency is of course macabre in your rather odd little mind.

    The problem with BoJo and his mad little group of sycophantic orcs which unfortunately constitutes a government is that they are now doctrinally backed up a cul-de-sac in which they are committed to the stupidity of a WTO Brexit if they cannot get the EU to yield to their absurd demands. So, whenever the EU publishes something or indeed even hints at something that the market knows BoJo the Clown will not swallow, the £ takes a hit.

    The latest serious blow is of course the EU's trading position published in all its reasonableness and intelligence which calmly, and authoritatively, states that BoJo will have to swallow some EU cock if he wants his cherries.

    The fact that this stupid government also seems to consider the potential death of 500,000 senior citizens with equanimity is of course a cause of some concern but no-one ever considered The Clown to be anything but a joke PM - that was priced in by the markets some time ago.

    The USD has been a basket case currency for years, much less a reserve currency. If you want a safe haven, just look at gold. That’s myth number one trashed to start with.
    Myth number two is the EU’s, calm, reasonable and authoritative trading position. Even you should understand that is a pack of malevolent lies that conveniently ignores all the fiscal and economic problems beating at the door. It’s not just one country, but many in hock to the ECB, which is based on yet more falsehoods. It’s country’s that used to be respected, but having entered the wolf pack that the EU, are now desperate for relief from the huge burdens they created for themselves.
    The end of the EU is nigh, and they have nerve to claim just how responsible they are. Thanks for the laughs.

    The US $ is the world's reserve currency. Period.
    only in your fantasy world. Having cut interest rates to the bone, they have nowhere left to go.
    Even shedding the shame of Trump as President won’t dig the country, or its currency out of the hole they have dug for themselves.
    USD is dust.

    The EU strategy meeting is for public consumption, and will result in little more than the date of the next strategy meet. It is not realistic to expect 27 sets of leaders, each with their own country's diverse interests at heart and with different everything from resources and economy to language, ethics, political clout and current efforts, to unanymously agree on anything that will benefit the entire Union.

    Hopefully the virus should help the EU on its way into the nice try but failed miserably history books.

    Indeed, the EU has failed miserably.

    It is the largest trading bloc in the world, with the wealthiest people on the planet enjoying the highest standard of living distinguished by the best healthcare and educational systems protected by a framework of judicial excellence the envy of the world which queues up to negotiate trade agreements with it on an annual basis.

    It really is quite extraordinary the degree of stupidity employed by the British in withdrawing from it but when one assesses the imbecility of British posters writing their gibberish herein one begins to understand the phenomenon.

    That much has been clear for a few years now.

    So far though, the EU has managed a whole lot more unanimity regarding the UK's departure than the UK itself has.
    For sure, though as usual you fail recognise Brexit as the catalyst that (temporarily) unified the disgruntled mob.

    The irony is, we remainers were quite content in our lives, it is you leavers who are variously stranded, isolated or otherwise fucked up who have moaned to death about how miserable the EU was, a fact most kept secret until after UKIP became so fashionable in drawing morons to its banner of xenophobic bigotry after the 2008 crash and subsequent regime of austerity.

    The thing is, Brexit is for losers, deadbeats, the stupid, the ignorant and the deluded who cannot accept responsibility for their inadequacy in life or the reality Britain is no longer of any significance in the world. Their discontent found focus in their contrived disdain for the EU which has been orchestrated by demagogues and tenth rate politicians seeking power in circumstances not available to them otherwise.

    We remainers were perfectly content with the status quo before June 2016 but that's because we were, and remain, well-adjusted, normal folk who are of above average intelligence, well educated and capable of individual thought not influenced by vacuous rhetoric and propaganda.

    EU have shown they are inept and nothing like the propaganda they churn out; collective, united, strength in unity, one for all but really all for one bs; when a member is in trouble, say Italy, and asks for German respirators, sure comes back the reply, how many, oh so sorry we have a new law that says medical equipment must stay in the country, so go fcuk yourself cos we were also complacent and asleep at the wheel early on and now we're just a couple of weeks behind your disaster. Eh, how embarrassing for China to step in with a token few tons of much needed stuff for Italy; China!

    CV has shown what the EU actually represents, look out for de facto big chief Germany, followed by France and thereafter trickle down leftovers that haven't been squandered or stolen in order of favoured status or who begs loudest. Sooner it fizzles out the better.

    Anyone with any doubts that broken down Brexit Britain has not been undermined by its insane decision to leave the EU will have them dispelled when they see that £ has now fallen yet again against a basket of currencies viz. USD $1.18, the Euro at EUR1.08 and the baht at 38.25, all countries which stand to lose as much as Britain from the Covid plague.

    It just keeps on getting worse and worse; £ dropping like a stone, the FTSE now in a bear rout and manufacturing at an all time low. Yep, England has certainly taken back control....har,har.

    Boris's great adventure is now fair and square in the toilet - £ at $1.10 USD here we come.

    Oops, £ now at $1.17, the lowest since 1985.

    Oh, hang on, now $1.16 and 37.73 baht.

    Wait........$1.15 now and 37.51 baht.

    Let's here it for Brexit......Yay!

    "We're just so much stronger alone!"

    ......EUR1.07.

    Oh, wait a minute.....looks like Britain is joining the Euro after all, now at EUR 1.06.

    Bless, just think, all those import prices now going through the roof.

    Economy ????? Who cares
    I just voted Brexit to get rid of the East European trash.
    The lower the pound falls the more chance they'll fuk off home, especially if polish washing powder , orange juice etc becomes more expensive to import.

    So, TD's BREXITers are all set.

    Good news (?)=all because of BREXIT.

    Bad news=nothing to do with BREXIT.
