Off Topic The Politics Thread

The pound is just below 52 week highs, I think falling is when the pound is near 52 week lows.

 

it was a british passport
she was a maori of a certain age
was she being delightfully racist bd
or was she just asking me a question
most of the casual racism i see here is from the maoris against the pacific island immigrants (coconuts)
and the asians (for some reasonthe chinese)
maybe because the percentage of maoris as a population is falling and those other groups are becoming more populous
and vocal

bloody racists are everywhere i tells ya

 

Actually, its when the pound is lower than it just was. It can easily be near the 52 week high and still be falling...

 

Agree I could never vote for Comrade Corbyn with that disgusting Diane Abbott involved with the country's future. Lib Dems are as weak as the cup of tea I had today. UKIP are too right wing and the Greens are useless so as you say Col, it will be difficult.

 

Not to traders, that is just lower. If you walk down stairs you are going lower, if you jump out of a window you are falling.

 

I can only hope Col
I do not believe in your idea for my country. I believe when the bill comes in I believe that pro Europeans shouldn’t have to pay for something they didn’t order
Of course no one knows how things will span out but I currently have very faith in U.K. politics
Churchill type speeches are just that
Words plus Churchill was nothing but a fabled PR exercise during war
I sincerely hope the U.K. can create a new identity but I fear it will require a massive shift in beliefs
I see the EU as primarily a great success but fully understand the frustration of the people’s will which I think will be shown as a frustration against our own U.K. system

History shows us as being great at a lot of things but those days I believe were finished a long time ago

We are a nation of moaners who have lost the ethic of responsibility... it’s always other countries fault or other people never us. We live in a blame culture and are left with nothing but words

I don’t see myself as pathetic as I care about our country it’s just I do not believe in the people and the belief it can be rebuilt ... there are too many things that cannot be deinvented

I am never scared of new as I work in a business that invents new in order to sell it to the mainstream. World business practices are not just change it is what it is and it’s centred always around money. The U.K. has to compete inside that and now as a stand alone nation but with a lot less money and maybe a lot less prospects especially when the result was 52/48

The leavers have a big job on their hands trying to convince the remains that they were right all along why should we pay as you have nothing in place I can even believe in

I myself cannot live with that and just can’t believe it’s good for my sons and the next generation The UK is so far behind in everything

I am out and was anyway as I live in France now which is changing itself but nowhere near what the U.K. has to do a lot
i prefer to remain an European who only uses the U.K. to get things like money and goods when I need them
I intend to pay into a system like France I believe in

 

The £ didn't fall much against the USD or €, and it spiked up again very quickly and briefly, apparently when the PM described HMG's view of proposed transitional arrangements. In line with her weak delivery of a little that was new speech from a weak government, the impact on the day's currency markets was just a weak dribble downwards.

 

You should start you own party old kiddy x I agree there is no options for the U.K. You can sit on those words or do something about it
Believe me it’s possible
20c at quarter to nine in the most beautiful diverse countryside in the world. Let’s thrash Burton tomorrow

 

I rest my case for the U.K. it’s all about money more I believe than the other European countries

Trade won’t be a problem as the U.K.
we will have to buy a lot
Just stick it on the credit card

 

Look chaps I was watching live and as she spoke the pound was dropping. Now I am no expert and I know it goes up and down all the time but it was funny as she spoke it dropped.

 

Its not funny, I get less $ from my UK Pension.

 

Fewer?

Bumper VAT receipts have helped government borrowing to fall to its lowest August level since 2007, according to official figures.
The government's deficit narrowed to £5.7bn last month, compared with £7bn a year earlier, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
VAT receipts rose by 5.6% from last year to £11.6bn, a record for August.
For the financial year to date, the government has borrowed £28.3bn, down £0.2bn from the same point last year.
The monthly deficit for August was lower than analysts had forecast and followed a £0.2bn surplus in July, which was the first such surplus for that month since 2002.

 

But it’s getting so both threads ought really to be merged.

 

I want to cry as 3-4 years ago I got 1.40 Euro to the £.

I was going to do that then I thought no, that's too obvious.
