No - because unbelievable as it may seem Pence could be even worse
yep. Can't trust himself to be in a room alone with a woman who is not his wife... ffs
Clearly it's not the only factor, but hard to disagree it is a significant one.
With all due respect durbar I won't disrespect your position but the bloke I was listening to was some top analyst from Bloomberg. He may be wrong for all I know but it was probably 4-5th analyst that have said the same.
Well apparently there were lots of rich people betting on the result with the markets. That is a fact because when the BBC did that Brexit program (which was fab by the way) many of these top market traders made a killing. And boasted about it. If people think that the pound is like it is just because of Brexit then that is their belief.
So you are saying if there hadn't been a vote the market would have gone down anyway, yep that makes sense.
You need to distinguish between a referendum for change which brings transitory uncertainty, and Brexit which has yet to occur

I heard some random bloke say something that coincides with what I think, therefore I must be right.
The "bloke" was probably the same "bloke" that said stg crashed crashed the same day the referendum result was announced was just a coincidence.Somebody said you were talking rubbish, should I believe them?
As I said I would rather listen to an expert on Bloomberg/BBC/CNBC than someone on a forum with all due respects.
I did use TransferWise to move money between my Action man and save up for Sindy accounts ... last time I did this I shorted the US housing market
Corbyn wants to ban ‘sexist’ after-work drinks for quite sexist reason
Jeremy Corbyn has said after-work drinks are ‘sexist’ and should be banned, because women will ‘obviously want to look after their children’.
Launching his manifesto for women, the Labour leader said: ‘Early evening socialisation benefits men who don’t feel the need to be at home looking after their children, and it discriminates against women who will want to, obviously, look after the children that they have got.’ Yes. ‘Obviously.’ Corbyn: After-work drinks discriminate against mothers
Unsurprisingly, the attempt at understanding gender inequality in the workplace fell quite flat. Many, many people pointed out that it’s quite sexist in itself to assume that looking after kids is a woman’s job Leaving aside the practical difficulties of this policy, does this fall into sexist trope: women parent, men work?
Corbyn also managed to offend fathers by assuming that men would rather be in the pub than spending time with their children
He has also been mocked for calling what is essentially a pint in the pub ‘early evening socialisation’
Some also noticed that he announced his plan to ban ‘sexist’ evening events… at an evening event
And then there’s the fact that it would be almost impossible to actually enforce
Matt Chorley, political editor of The Times, told LBC this was ‘classic Corbyn’ – there could be a good idea at the heart, but he blundered his way through it.
‘He then went on to say it benefited men who don’t feel the need to be at home with their children and discriminates against “women who will want to, obviously, look after the children they have”,’ Chorley added. ‘So he manages to offend almost everyone by suggesting that being at home with your children is a job for women and that dads aren’t bothered about seeing their children these days. They’re the ones that are quite happy about being in the pub.’
