Yep, The Pound at its lowest rate against the dollar in 50 years can't possibly have anything to do with the market's fear of Brexit.

Pure coincidence.

S'true, I've given up with the Tesco near me as for about the last six months they never seemed to have half my shopping list, even though it was all stuff they'd previously had in stock.

Also, - company that made billions of pounds a quarter profits very recently complains about it's costs going up?

That didn't last long.

Scotland really wants to stay in the EU.
I don't quite get the bit that says Scotland wants to remain a part of the UK and EU, because how's that going to work? *confused face*

Well, when has cognitive dissonance ever been a problem for a politician? You know, at least until the consequences actually come round and bite them on the ass.

Well he can get in the sea. While Brexit did indeed win the referendum it wasn't by anything that could have reliably been called a landslide - 4% difference isn't exactly a lot. The prisons are already full, I somehow doubt they'll be able to cope with almost half of the electorate.

with a name like 'Christian Holliday', so can his parents.

Which is ironic, really, because hanging was a punishment for Treason...

Er... Answers on a postcard.

May's 'blame parliament, not me'?

leading banks set to pull out of UK early next year

It's all going swimmingly, isn't it? Not really a surprise at all given the loss of Passporting. Mind you at least it means that, while we'll all be signficantly poorer for the loss of tax revenue, the next time they've ramped up trillions of pounds worth of liabilities we won't be the ones who have to bail them out.


Also note this, stuck on at the end...



Two years, that's all we'll have.

if no deal is reached with the EU in that 2 years then it is automatic hard brexit. so why wait get it over and done with asap.
as already seen with ttip and ceta making deals with the EU is much harder then leaving ...

Oh it's dead easy to leave. You just vote on it, say you're going to and then sit on your arse . So far, that's exactly what our government appears to be doing.

What's harder is substituting the web of treaties that the rest of the world has with the EU (and, as we've previously been part of the single market, implicitly with the UK) with a bunch of explicit treaties.

Or, don't do any of that and get the [LIFTED] end of the stick in trade deals with pretty much every developed country on planet earth. Because if you don't have anything better explicitly agreed, the [LIFTED] end of the stick is all you'll get.

Seriously, you've been told this stuff a dozen times now. How has it not sunk in at all yet?

no not really as i remember the world wide trade deals we had before the EEC let alone the EU.
when we leave the EU which i believe will be a nasty hard and a fast exit we shall do the trade world wide.
these deals for world wide trade will have changed as the world has changed but getting trade deals world wide will not be that difficult especially as we can hire the best negotiators from around the world to advise on these deals.

the only short trading stick i see is the EU ...
