Yesterday the pound rose against all the major currencies including the Euro. The Euro was up against the dollar. In my view this says the dollar is dropping in value and the pound is increasing in value. Following the comments on here, this rise must of course mean that this is all due to Brexit !

The drop in the dollar is not surprising as Trump has said it is over valued but the US stock market is at an all time high.

Robin, any detrimental news concerning triggering article 50 helps the pound . It will be triggered sooner than later, then we shall start the journey to .....prosperity
Mate, the vast majority who voted for brexit did so because of the fact that we ....fought two wars for our independence, we don't want bloody foreigners dictating to us. We want our ...country back, we don't want Europeans we just want third world immigrants.
What makes me laugh is the incessant statement that the British people voted for brexit, well mate only just, but this is how democracy works.

Watch the pound once the button is pressed !
Since brexit STG has come down more than 20 cents on the Euro, would this indicate anything sinister ??

The pound rose on the hope/expectation that with parliament's involvement there will be a 'softer' Brexit which will be a bit less disastrous for the country.

Actually it rose because UK GDP exceeded forecast figures. Showing annual growth at 2% last year with Brexit having no effect. Oh, I know, I know, it will all happen the day after tomorrow when the UK becomes a poverty stricken, third world economy.

It appears that my posts have exceeded the "drivel" threshold. Whereas RH's have obviously retreated from it.

I suspect that in fact "drivel" is a euphemism for somebody who won't be intimidated by the (in this case CF partisan) remoaning and takes the trouble to try and respond with lucidity and pertinence. Notwithstanding "Ad Hominem" on a like-for-like basis of course.

It will be a hard Brexit, with or without the involvement of Parliament, the EU Commission have made that very clear ..... what did Junker say 'You are either IN or you are OUT !' , the UK will not get the chance to cherry pick.

But I am an optimist and am confident that the days of collective trade agreements are coming to an end. The UK will form bi-lateral agreements with many countries including member Nations of the EU. The problem there is that these members of the EU will not be allowed to make these agreements unless they also leave the EU. And that is exactly what I see happening. These Block Trade Agreements only favour the large corporations and enable them to overrule the law of the land, they have little to do with trade.

I listened yesterday on BBC radio to a UK MP (can't remember his name) who was a 'Remainer' through and through, was saying he now wanted ammendements to this A-50 white paper so that the people have the final say when the deal is done. When asked what would happen if the people rejected the deal in another referendum, he replied 'Then we remain a member of the EU!' The interviewer then said ' So what you are asking for is a second referendum?' he denied it emphatically.

Strikes me that the lunatics really are running the asylum!

You said parity by Christmas ..... it never happened !

The speculators are having a field day and are laughing all the way to the Bank. They play games ..... we are the victims! Add a Tobin Tax to currency speculations and the see-saw on currency values will be a thing of the past!

As far as I know, you have been absent for a few days.

I was at the High Court.

I believe I posted twice yesterday, 4 times on Tuesday, 4 times on Sunday......................

Presumably this will be backed by the same 6 to 1 vote that enabled the bill which asked the UK electorate whether they wished to stay in or leave the EU. The one that is where the government said it would respect and implement the decision:

That is what I like to see ..... you can't argue with that it's short and straight to the point!

Just watched Trumps speech in Philadelphia, I was impressed, I hope he keeps his word. May should ask him for a few tips on how to deal with the EU Commissioners and how to put the Great back into Britain.
