No that can't be right. It's brexits fault didn't you get the memo. We are having a second referendum also as a lot of people didn't like the result so the answer is of course to do it again to get the right answer. This democracy game is hard to play.
Love how milliband and clegg have signed this MPs thing or whatever it is on leaving the EU purely because they have become unimportant and sent their parties to Devestating lows but somehow feel they still have a voice. Of course when we leave the eu the gravy train will end for them in Brussels. Ah the real reason why they are upset.
The point about things made in Britain being unaffected by exchange rates is bollocks. It depends on how much of the products are imported. If parts/ ingredients are imported, then the cost of manufacture will increase and therefore the price. Inflation being a danger of a weak pound.
True. It also makes it more likely for UK citizens to buy UK goods rather than imports. And it causes price deflation for British goods in foreign countries, increasing sales for exporters.
Why is the pound falling? Lots of factors:
- Uncertainty and fear about the UK economy.
- Opportunism from fx traders.
- The gap in interest rate expectations. The US's next move will be up. The UK's may be down.
That's fair enough but anyone who believes it as caused a bloody nose for the elite will be disappointed. If anything it's handing them more power and the rest of you will pay for it.
I was called a liar by 'Sir Ernie' when I first reported the racism she had recieved, it seems it wasn't an isolated incident after all. I will look forward to watching fromantic afar from June.
You can't reform the eu first and foremost as when Dave came back with a fag packet of pitty changes it became obvious. If he came back with a good deal on immigration to this country brexit wouldn't of happened.
As for self importance you just remind me of the remain campaign saying again again we are not good enough. I think we are. Why the need to put us british people down? Is it not a good thing to be proud and want to be self governing? I don't get it.
It's a shame successive right wing governments have reduced the size of our manufacturing sector favouring a service economy which is vulnerable to a weak pound.I'm loving this weak pound. My exports to USA and Canada are running at record levels.
The weakening of sterling is great news for British manufacturers.
Problem with that is that we're now a more service economy than a manufacturing economy so the boost for manufacturing is unlikely to offset the issues elsewhere.The weakening of sterling is great news for British manufacturers.

Short term if they import parts...
Meanwhile Nicola is trying to do a Jocksit.
Just using brexit as an excuse to raise prices. Some products are even made in the U.K. And this unaffected. Of course that's brexits fault also.
I lost a fiver from my pocket the other day. Brexits fault again.
I work for a small scale UK based manufacturer with business about a 50/50 split of export and home market and here's the issue with the home market. A lot of the raw materials we need to manufacture is only available from overseas meaning costs go up which means our selling price goes up. Fine for the overseas market as it's offset by the weak pound, not so good for the home market. Even materials that are sourced in the UK are effected. For instance we use a lot of metal in our products especially steel, lead and copper. The world trading center for metals is the LME (London Metal Exchange), sounds rosie, until you go on their website and realize that although the center is in London all trade is in US$, this means that metal product sourced and purchased in the UK and paid for locally in GBP is effected somewhere down the line by the weak pound, especially against the dollar. It's all wheels within wheels and that is where the price increases come from. In fact if you look at the commodities markets there isn't a fat lot that isn't traded in US$ so although the dollar price maybe hasn't changed much when it's converted into sterling it bumps up the price and always this gets passed down the line. So yes it is Brexits fault
Businesses can't rely on an over valued pound. If it is experiencing difficulty now it raises questions as to its overall viability.
If it's hugely Euro dependant why didn't it look at Forex hedging?
Wee Jimmy Krankie does make me laugh. The rest of the EU has already told her they're not interested. Even if they did get independence and accession to the EU, it takes years and years. What's she going to do in the meantime?
Yes she is a joke, as is the Scottish economy which is hugely dependent on the subsidies it receives from England.
It's hilarious that at a time when EU nations are looking admiringly at Brexit, she wants to jump aboard and get her subsidies from the sinking ship.
I find it funny how a lot of Remainers are banging on about hate crime going up and that racism has come back again, and that the reason we voted to leave was because our country has 17 million Bigots (irony?).
Peddling individual stories that all seem so similar. I mean, of course most racists in the UK will have voted leave, but there were more pathetically cowardly leftists voting stay out of the fear that was being thrown down their necks.
My other half is Slovakian, and mostly she has had nothing other than support from leave voters or actually Remainers apologising to her for their fellow 'racist' countrymen. If anything, apart from seemingly a large vocal contingent of Remainers spinning bile and the main stream media scaremongering and telling her people don't think she should be welcome, she's felt more accepted than ever.
Even if her other half did vote leave... What a nationalist he must be...
For the record, I don't have any issue with people expressing concern over Brexit. In reality no one knows what's going to happen. (I wish people would accept this and want the best for the country moving forward now we've voted, rather than pretending they can predict the future). However, branding everyone that voted leave as unintelligent and xzenephobic seems to be absolutely everywhere. Also, anything that happens (a local cat getting stuck up a tree) is blamed on Brexit.
It's really starting to piss me off again in the last week or so, and the constant bully tactics was actually part of the reason I voted leave in the first place anyway. If it hadn't of been for this, as a country I reckon remain might have just swung it overall.

The individual stories peddled about racism are backed up by police statistics. The ones of EU citizens being accepted more than ever are not backed up by the hate crime statistics.
When my missus was sitting in my German reg car, some snooty woman in Christchurch said to her husband on passing " oh my god.... Germans..". Said as if she had just stood in dogshit. Harmless, but shows the attitude. Lucky for her I was on the other side or the street and couldn't get over quick enough... I would have pointed out that she is not above my missus because she maybe voted Brexit..
Wow that's shocking. What a shame you were on the other side of the street at the time. Yes, she was probably a Brexit voter. Well maybe.
Did you report the 'snooty woman' to the police? Must surely qualify as racist hate crime.
So low level hate crime has moderately risen, we all knew that was going to happen, it also incorporates more people reporting it than ever. Chip on shoulders? There are a lot of butt hurt Europeans angry at us, ask your German counterparts. Whilst it's completely unacceptable to pick on someone because they're European and we voted leave, it isn't as if people are going round lopping off people's heads because they aren't from England.

Reporting a snooty woman in Christchurch would'nt help - there are enough of them. I said it was harmless and I would have told her more or less politely to fuck off. End of story. The point was, people never said anything whilst passing my German reg car before brexit. It is now relevant that I am not a Brit ( I am a Brit, but these prats don't have the intelligence to think a German reg car doesn't necessarily have to be driven by Germans ) whereas it wasn't before.
Have you and your wife now recovered from the traumatic experience?
Marmite is 100% manufactured from ingredients made in Burton-on-Trent.
Yes she is a joke, as is the Scottish economy which is hugely dependent on the subsidies it receives from England.

I still think the woman was a c**t, if that's what you mean. I hope that next time something like that happens I am able to tell whoever it is to fuck off.
Good for you. That's post-Brexit racist hate crime, right there.
whoosh
One Pole and one Czech dead, others beaten up. Yes, peanuts......... if you want to think like that...
