The shares and pound are back to where they were before the referendum.
Panic over.
Lets get the country united and running again.
That isn't true. The pound RIGHT NOW is trading at the spot rate at $1.345 USD. but before the referendum, it was at $1.48 USD. that is still quite a bit lower than what it was.Quote:

You are correct it is rising today - currently up by 0.02% today. A fair amount to go to gain back the nearly double digit % drop that we had going down.Quote:

Let's wait maybe a year and see where the economy, currency and stock market is. What happens a day or a week after isn'r relevant. Wait to see how things shake out and look in six/twelve months.Quote:

The economy falls off anyway to an almost standstill or maybe even tips into a recession. Lots of investment is put on hold, projects cancelled, that sort of thing.
The EU tell us that unless we allow freedom of movement of EU people (the same uncontrolled immigration we have now) we don't get access to the single market. The government huff and puff but the EU don't budge. The eventual deal we negotiate includes freedom of movement of EU citizens. The EU kindly give us the option of scrapping the whole thing and just remaining a member -- they'll be under pressure from referenda and nationalist governments elsewhere, not to mention ongoing immigration/economic/currency disasters, so they'll be desperate for a victory to stop the one-way bad news and put a crimp in breakaway movements in other EU countries.
We get a second referendum with a choice between the new deal and staying in anyway. Basically immigration as an issue taken off the table. With a backdrop of a poor economy and loads of businesses threatening to fuck off we vote to stay in.
This seems to me at least as likely as us staying in. Maybe the EU make some small concessions on immigration as well to knock the edge off the leave vote here and elsewhere. Maybe the other odd variation, but this is something we well might see happen.
What you don't understand is that you grew up in a febrile atmosphere of people still upset they lost the civil war and with an undercurrent of rebellion against the government in Washington. The idea that there might be a huge bunch of people pick up their weapons and try to overthrow the government isn't abstract nuttery to you, it's a genuine cultural touchstone.Quote:

Wow you are more out of touch than I thoughtQuote:

Michael Gove: Boris Johnson wasn't up to the job - what a cunt.

He comes from a party full of them. He is probably one of the worst though. He has destroyed the education system. It will be no coincidence that the rush to privatise that will be replaced by the rush to continue privatising the NHS under him if he gets the nod.Quote:

Labour membership is up 60,000 in a week. More than doubled in a year. People clearly want Corbyn and the snakes just don't want to listen or hear. Good, resign all of you. Go and join the Tories or form the War Criminal Mafia Alliance or whatever it is you are into, but you are the problem and you are in the wrong party. Blair was the aberration and you are either going to learn that or face oblivion. If Corbyn goes, then Labour goes too.
Its like the Tories have dodged a bullet. You can't make this shit up. "Its all corbyn's fault."Quote:
