    Michel Barnier has tested positive for coronavirus. The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator tweeted that he was doing well and following instructions. He said: ‘I would like to inform you that I have tested positive for Covid-19. I am doing well and in good spirits. I am following all the necessary instructions, as is my team'.

    The decline is a result of goldilock's "announced" actions. The US$ becomes more " valuable", the ROW's currency drop.

    A new Plaza Accord will arrive soon.

    "The Plaza Accord was a joint-agreement, signed on 22 September 1985, at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, between France, West Germany, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, to depreciate the U.S. dollar in relation to the Japanese yen and German Deutsche mark by intervening in currency markets. The U.S. dollar depreciated significantly since the agreement until it was replaced by the Louvre Accord in 1987.[1][2][3]"

    Jack Ma funds a "How to treat Coronavirus" manual for hospitals written by the medical staff at the sharp end. Good bit of PR.

    So much anger in one little post . . . shouldn't you be focussing - in a Brexit thread - on . . . Brexit and the UK? Oh, the UK is led by a bungling idiot and his equally idiotic henchmen.

    So, how's Boris doing with the herd immunity brainfart, or is that deflecting?

    Ah yes of course, except I've never pretended to trust bojo to deliver a viable Brexit and as of now still don't.

    But that does not discount the EUs response to the CV and its implications till they were rudely shaken up, or Brexit, or it's goals or other socio/economic/political strife which I fully expect to leave it in irreversible decline.

    Except that's not Brexit-related either. I'm sure there's a Euro-thread for you to vent your anti-EU/German/French/Merkel/Macron etc... ideas.

    This one's just fro you

    Er, incompetence, waste, abuse and corruption are all part of Brexit, together with borders, sovereign jurisdiction etc, seeing as those are some of the reasons for it happening in the first place.

    Nope, on this occasion you are talking about Germany (seemingly your favourite whinge subject) and Italy re covid-19 response . . . you can't simply try to twist everything to suit your agenda

    You don't seem to understand the way the Remoaners want this argument to go: anything negative about the EU is simply the fault of dumb Brexiter folks' poor thinking processes. Anything wrong in Britain is due to Brexit. If there are riots in France, economic collapse in Germany, you can't talk about that on this thread. If Boris makes an announcement about Covid-19 it's due to him being a dumb Brexiteer. Come on, Jabir, get with the bed wetter's program...

    £ Oct.2015 = 54 baht

    £ Oct.2016 = 42 baht

    £ 12 Jan 2020 = 39.71

    Even the dimmest Brexit numpty mofo can work out the significance ( and it has nothing to do with Chink flu )

    You must be right then, nothing happening within the EU has anything to do with Brexit.

    As I have said previously, EU trade with the UK equates to a mere 3% of its combined GDP, vice versa, its 13%.

    Really, in the long term Brexit has all the significance to the EU of a dribbling wet fart in a stiff breeze.

    ...... and yet, that is e act,y what remainers have been doing for the last three and a half years. Subverting the will of the electorate at every possible opportunity, because, of course, they know best.
    Cy, SA, Butters, you and everyone else who does not live, work, or depend on their UK presence to make a difference.
    Back up a little, take a deep breath, and realise that you don’t have a dog in this fight either.

    He's a Kuta bum drinking in the last chance saloon with all the other old soaks.

    Anyway, one is simply seeking to intervene in the democracy of the bigoted, the ill-informed, the deluded and the merely stupid which is in truth one's duty as a responsible citizen with a functioning brain who clearly sees the benefit of EU membership as opposed to the idiocy of the credulous buffoons who cannot.

    Yet more ridiculous, unsubstantiated fantasy, snatched from thin air, simply to fit the narrative you have assumed on my behalf.
    What a pity you fell into a predictable hole as early as your first sentence.

    Meanwhile, in the real world, a poorly resourced and predictably led country is gradually grinding to a halt, just in time for the annual Hindu celebration of Nyepi.

    You and your like minded cohorts, have supported every risible, and morally corrupt attempt to deny the Brexit that the UK electorate voted for. Socialists who believed they knew better, but strangely often had little if any real world experience between them. Just like you.
