    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    You are so in denial. The pound is down against literally every currency in the world. That's not a show of strength of the dollar it's a show of weakness of the pound. The reason it's lost so much against the dollar is because the dollar is the major trading currency around the world. Some...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Here's the thing astute. If you're right I'll say few and breath a sigh of relief. However if I'm right and in six months I'm still right you'll still be in denial. It's a trait that's becoming more and more obvious in certain sections of those who voted out and you clearly fit that bill. As...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I work for a small independent British manufacturer who exports outside of the EU, specifically the Gulf states and here's the problem. As a country we no longer process raw materials in components. We buy it all in. Just today one of the major components that we have to buy in from outside the...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Again. If you look at the data you'll see that over the last 30 years the pounds natural position against the dollar is between 150-160. It's all there for you to see if you don't want to bury your head in the sand. Last time it was this low we were still dragging ourselves out of the doldrums...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    You should try looking at some data instead of looking for excuses. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business/market_data/currency/default.stm The pound is at another 31 year low again today and is falling against almost every currency around the world. Oh, and the FTSE is on the slide again because...

    Non of which has anything to do with the value of the pound against the dollar. Keep burying your head.

    Counting your chickens there. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36721689 There's a long way to go yet before the full effects of brexit are felt.

    Books

    If you like drug and crime based books try a book called the kings of cocaine. I don't fully recall the authors name, Guy something. It has been 20 years since I read it. It's all about the Columbian drug cartels and how cocaine was introduced into America.

    Films you love, but got a critical panning or bombed at the time

    Haven't seen the three amigo's in years but yes remember laughing hard at it. The Shawshank redemption was slated by critics, bombed in the cinema largely because of this but then took on a whole new life through word of mouth and sold gazillions on the DVD market. Pretty sure Apocalypse Now...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    It's a diversion tactic. If people are talking about brexit they're not talking about Chilcott. It's a good day to bury bad news and all that.

    Law firm trying to prevent Article 50 without act Parliament using SISU QC

    Not necessarily. The thing people keep referring back to IIRC is the Vienna agreement. When in fact the Vienna agreement as we will no longer be in the EU may possibly have no legal standing in the UK. What also is unsure is the protection of rights. For instance, if your family moved here as a...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Who said that I believe the economist or even been listening to them. It's called a memory and I remember in the last recession the indicator that it was about to hit was the banks and house building companies taking a hit on their shares. It's happened again and like last time when the FTSE as...

    And again. If you don't like it get out of my country.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    You need to look at what bank shares and the pound are doing against the dollar before you start counting your chickens on that one. Until they've recovered to pre referendum levels and stabilise at that point the FTSE remains vulnerable. You also have to consider what assurances the bank of...

    In other words if you don't like it get out of my country.

    Another one gone

    Such sad news, one funny lady. Wrote a perfect mix of comedy and nostalgia. Love everything she done but especially the royle family. Probably the best sitcom ever in my humble opinion. Just perfect in every way. RIP.

    Someone already has. Jo Cox. It's the result of preaching hatred to morons. The EDL were very quick to plead innocence but when someone is using a platform saying it's OK to hate something like that was always going to happen at some point.
