    If it's coming across that way, it's wrong. I don't feel I know more, in fact I'm pretty sure I don't. What I do know is that people that seem stuck on last Thursday are limiting things to the bleeding obvious.

    I posted a couple of videos to see what other peoples views were on the influence of groups such as Bildeberg.

    It's why I asked about the nervousness being so much more immediately after the vote, when nothing has actually changed, and can't change for months, but more likely years, and even then will have protections in place.

    I was wondering if an independent UK could give the dealers a few head aches, especially if it leads to a further collapse of the EU or Countries leaving, so they would need to make an example of us.

    In addition, I'm interested to hear peoples views on how the wider market influenced the dip too, because there is a global element going on too. It can't be viewed in isolation.

    Quite right, I tend to ignore most pointless questions.

    You asked me a question and I wrote out extensive paragraphs which you appeared to dismiss for your original standpoint without scrutiny of my reply based on the high regard you have for the person being discussed so I thought I'd give you a tongue in cheek response with the same level of thought put into it.

    Though I would say if your entire business is reliant on importing from the EU and you know there is an event coming up which could have volatile effects on the currency exchange rate I would expect said person to have a certain level of contingency plan in place.

    Apologies if I came across like a dick, I didn't mean to make light of someone's very real difficult situation and didn't mean to cause offence <ok>

    Don't take this the wrong way Tobes, but why does it matter?
    We are all non-entities on a football forum, highly unlikelky to ever meet.

    Traders aren't interested in making examples of anyone or anything.

    Their job is to invest in the most lucrative markets and trade at a profit on behalf of their investors.

    You've just answered your own question in that post btw - nothing has changed and can't change for months - only it ****ing has, we've voted out, and the delay will leave us in a void as we'll be viewed as a massive risk, and cash will flow to what are perceived to be safer markets.

    It doesn't unduly, but if someone is trying to decry others views on specific topics, and those they are decrying have openly stated their status, then it's a valid question. If he chooses not to answer it, that's his prerogative.

    The government need to be focused on putting together a package they intend to negotiate with the EU once Cameron steps down while Cameron focuses on creating confidence and stability.

    In terms of Labour they should really take this opportunity to get rid of Corbyn and put someone in charge who is able to maintain the left wing support that Corbyn seems to have rallied whilst also appealing to the centre ground. They have an opportunity to have a good go at getting elected if they get rid of Corbyn quickly and unite under a new leader.

    Any business who have operations reliant on trade with the EU will either already have, or will be now putting plans in place while they wait to see how negotiations unfold, that's just good business practice preparing for potential future problems and doesn't necessarily mean those plans will be put into action. And I'll have to disagree on your last line which I'm sure you expected!

    You don't need to be an architect to spot a poorly built wall.

    I've just had a brief look at the Bildeberg meetings, but because of its secretive nature it's hard to know what influence they have (except for the fact certain leaders at some point in their career have attended).

    Bricklaying is of course a brilliant parallel with global economics.

    Are you really just going to keep trying to disrupt?

    In the hope of moving things on, I'll say people like those involved in Bildeberg. I was trying to avoid doing that as I expected someone like you would just call it a cranky conspiracy, and I was more interested in the concept than naming names.

    I'm not tense, he's too dull to provoke much more than a slight sigh. It's a shame, but he spends his life ****ing up threads across the various boards in a similar style, and generally getting his arse handed back to him.

    Corbyn says he'll stand in any leadership election.

    Labour in full on civil war.

    The Far Right will be jubilant.

    You plums in the North East will become collateral damage!
