For 2-3 years,France go above us then we strengthen as Europe weaken.A weak pound is great for exports,and that's what we need to be like China who will soon be number 1,like India,Brazil and Korea who are all growing due to exports as we will.Europe is finished,on a slow downward roll,that's if Le Pen doesn't win the French election,in which case it collapses overnight.

It almost sounds like you actually believe a weak pound is agood thing... <doh>
You do know that we import far more than we export dont you?
You would be better off advocating scrapping the minmum wage and getting every poor **** working for nothing in sweat shops...

Have you fallen asleep and woken up in an episode of Terry and June?

Its a very good thing,we need to export more than we import,and this is the way to do it,the ex governor of the Bank of England said we have spent the last 5 years trying to lower the value of the pound without success and this is just what we need.You just haven't got any clue have you ?

£4BILLION Boxing Day Brexit sales bonanza:

Foreign tourists spearheaded a £4billion Boxing Day shopping bonanza as they took advantage of a weak pound and big discounts on luxury items to deliver a post-Brexit boost to the High Street.

Shops reported bargain hunters queueing from the early hours of the morning – with some even camping outside on Christmas Day evening.
An estimated 27million shoppers, many from China and the Far East, were on track to spend a record £3.93billion yesterday, according to the Centre for Retail Research and IMRG.
This equates to more than £121,000 per second, based on an average nine hours of trading, and beats the £3.76billion registered on Boxing Day last year.

High-end retailers said tourists were often at the front of the queue as they snapped up luxury items, maintaining a trend which has boosted the High Street since the Brexit vote in June.

Early estimates from analysts reported a 6 per cent decline in visits to High Street branches compared with Boxing Day last year – with a 16.6 per cent fall in shopping centres. But this was offset by a surge in online shopping, with transactions rising 11.5 per cent, according to Springboard Insights.
Experts said the popularity of ‘click and collect’ meant many shoppers were likely to head to the High Street in the afternoon, after making purchases online.

The buoyant spending figures come after Britain enjoyed a record Christmas Day online sales boost of more than £800million as families interrupted their festivities to shop on the web.
Professor Joshua Bamfield of the Centre for Retail Research said: ‘Boxing Day was massive, even bigger than last year – which was a record for a day’s spend.’
Last night one MP said things ‘could not be looking better for Brexit Britain’.

Brits should see positive side of Brexit and stop moaning, says ex-bank boss
Lord Mervyn King says there are "real opportunities” from leaving the EU.
Speaking to the BBC, Lord King - who was Bank of England Governor from 2003 to 2013 - said: “I think the challenges we face mean it’s not a bed of roses - no one should pretend that.“But equally it is not the end of the world, and there are some real opportunities that arise from the fact of Brexit we might take.
“I think we should look at it in a much more self-confident way than either side is approaching it at present.
“Being out of what is a pretty unsuccessful European Union - particularly in the economic sense - gives us opportunities as well as obviously great political difficulties.”

It comes as a new report today claims the UK economy could benefit by £24billion a year by leaving the European single market and customs union.
A ‘Hard Brexit’ is likely to deliver annual savings of almost £10.4billion from contributions to the EU budget and £1.2billion from scrapping “burdensome” regulations.
The group also claimed leaving the EU would allow the UK to forge new trade deals worth £12.3billion.
