Off Topic BREXIT

Meanwhile, O'Bummer is trying to destroy the US from within, with a totally insidious drip, drip approach. I've never seen this nation as divided as it now is, in the 30 years we've lived here.

 

Since 2008 the pound to euro has floated from 1 to 1 at one extreme to 1 to 1.5 at the other. In the last days its moved from about 1 to 1.3 down to 1 to 1.2 hardly a disaster.

 

True.

 

Especially if you bear in mind that, according to the head of the Remain campaign, WW3 is on it's way to destroy the future.

 

Its more divided than its been since just before the civil war thats certainly true. I wouldn't blame him nor would I blame the Republicans this has been coming since nixons southern strategy many would argue or maybe you could argue as far back as the new deal. I certainly blame both sides for not trying to stop what should have been obviously coming.

 

I think Trump will be elected. It's same as the EU Referendum. The Remainers are led by the establishment who make threats and scare stories but the majority of voters dislike the constant lies. The Leavers are the outsiders and so is Trump. The one thing Trump will do when he gets power is he'll appoint people to put his ideas into action and they will filter his ideas to what is achievable. You see a lot of Remainers saying everything is doom and gloom and you can't do this but they will be amazed at what can be done by people of determination who don't follow the crowd.

The demographics in the US are substantially different than in the UK which will stop what you say from happening. I could go into it if you wanted on PM but I dont want to derail your EU thread.

 

The $/£ exchange rate as of 16 June was 1.418 this figure increased over the next week as traders, seemingly taking information from 'Financial Experts' of an impending Remain vote invested in the £. Today after what was an earth shattering disaster for financial markets the exchange rate is 1.37. A shift of what 3%...

 

I wouldn't say I'm a banking expert at all. But if the markets had bet on Out winning and they then won there wouldn't be a surge as the reality would only be the same as what the markets expected. There's variations in the markets now because the markets misjudged what was going to happen. In a few weeks things will settle down. Things wont be normal until after we leave the EU and have negotiated trade deals.

 

Me

 

Is it something to do with the electoral college? If I don't seem to know by all means PM me please.

 

I thought that is an "example".

 

Thats a factor but thats not exactly what I mean. I will type something up later today for you and send it your way.

 

Im working class.
I earn below the average wage.

 

City FX traders placed (or got people to place) large bets on remain with the bookmakers who everyone was using as a bell weather. This slashed the odds for remain and caused a huge spike in the value of the pound and the FTSE. Huge profits were made placing long bets on both of these rises by the City. Similarly when the pound reached £1=$1.50, large short positions on the pound and FTSE were opened and it was shorted down the same City boys, making money on the way up and on the way down. Never believe the phrase the bookies never get it wrong. The odds can be manipulated with relatively small sums. The polls at the end had it neck a neck, yet some bookies had remain as short as 1/12 on.

 

Don't you love these "Financial Experts" that the Remainers think are Gods!?

 

Here you go all those who wish to run back into the wide open jaws of the European neoliberal cabal:-

This gets more ridiculous by the minute.

France trolls the UK over Brexit result: 'Don't trust a nation that can't behead its Queen'
'The English already want to change their minds over Brexit. Perhaps they’re on an island for a reason.'

I aint trying to provoke anything.
Im stating that normal working class people arnt going on regular visits to the Merc showroom.
The people that can afford them wont be to perturbed be a tariff placed on them.
It was hardly inflammatory.

 

So you are an "example".
I don't think earning below the average wage is the definition. I know artists and writers who you wouldn't consider "working class" although they earn very little.

 

thanks
