The pound plummets to below 1.08 euros as new figures released show GDP at its lowest since 2012.


That doesn't mean anything and as I told you before, a lower devalued currency is good for exports.

In fact some countries actively seek to devalue their currency for this purpose. China and USA are trying to devalue their currency because of their trade war. Australia is currently embarking on a sustained program of AUD devaluation to stimulate export earnings as well.

What the British are doing here will be remembered for many decades. They are making a run for it and I guarantee you than in 20 years from now, they won't be looking back. The British are not some plebs. They can stand on their feet and they have solid friends they can draw from if worse comes to worse.


Paphitis, China can afford to devalue it‘s currency to increase exports. For one, they export more than they import, and secondly, which is a major plus for China, it‘s vast majority Chinese can live on little, mostly home produce items and food. It is not like the poor people of China are importing expensive foreign goods. Take a look at the Chinese GDP per capital vs. the UKs. There is no comparison. Chinese can survive on a bowl of rice. Not the same with the Brits, the Aussies or the Yanks.


Britains GDP is much larger than China's Kikapu. You need to look at GDP per capita.

By comparing the total GPD of a country of 1.5 Billion people to that of 70 million people isn't a valid comparison.

Britain also exports a great deal and they make better cars and better aircraft and have a better arms industry than the Chinese do.

Well if what she say's is true, it is the EU that is causing the problems with the Irish backstop which the British Parliament don't want to accept.

Therefore, NO DEAL BREXIT is a the default position.

BOJO has to stick to his guns now and refuse to even go to Strasbourg and meet with any EU blackmailers.

Let the count down begin...


The French MEP was spot on with her every point.

You have to understand that, the UK has been a cry baby in wanting special treatment from the EU ever since they became a member and they are still doing it. The EU has had enough of the UK‘s BS, so they are now telling the UK, we are not going to take away the backstop, to make sure the Good Friday agreement does not get watered down, which the UK themselves are signatory to that agreement. Sounds to me like, the EU has been expecting a no deal Brexit for a long time and they have been prepared for it, knowing that the UK would always come back for more concessions from the EU no matter how much the EU gave the cry babies. The problem now lies with the British parliament and the British people to sort out their own crap on Brexit, because the EU is not willing to play Boris‘s/Trump’s games.


Kikapu,

I actually can't believe you think this. This is sheer arrogance from the EU and this particular MEP.

never before has so much disrespect been shown for what is suppose to be a sovereign country.

It just reinforces my idea that Britain is doing the right thing and must proceed with NO DEAL BREXIT.

I think BOJO shouldn't even meet with them. If they are not willing to play ball, then NO DEAL exit is the default stance.


As a British, an American and a Cypriot, I do not hold back criticizing my people when it is warranted.
Brexit is just one of them


Why are you criticizing them?

It seems that the EU is pushing towards a NO DEAL BREXIT which is fine. BOJO is just preparing for the NO DEAL brexit and there is nothing wrong with that.

20 Billion worth of savings per year, and trade will continue under the current terms for at least 2 years.

It seems to be a no lose situation for Britain.

This is my ...prediction
There will be a vote of no confidence in parliament. The Clown loses and refuses to step down.( remember he is a Clown). Parliament advices the Queen. The Clown is " commanded " by the Queen to piss off.
He refuses and advices the idiots following him that he has now taken over from Her Majesty. He declares himself the ...King of England !! What a fucking mess !!
Paphitis then makes a post. LONG LIVE THE KING :x :lol: :D
