"If you look at the general trend after the crash from 2010 it is a generally strengthening pound showing stable steady growth and development in the U.K. making it more attractive. It fell dramatically after the referendum and hasn’t recovered since. There is no other reason for the drop apart from Brexit. In 2008 the drop was the crash I’m sure we can go back year on year to see the pound at two dollars but as we’ve never been at the forefront of growth we fell back. With a stable gently growing economy before and after the crash you see repeated strengthening of the pound in the long term. The pound dropping is good for some business but if it continues to drop raw materials will become to expensive and we will suffer. As a net importer we need the pound to stay relatively strong to underscore our buying power The short term pain is when you’re eventually allowed on holiday and see how expensive everything has suddenly got!

"Wasn't it supposed to be below the Euro and on par with the dollar by now?
You mean the 'pound' I presume, Who predicted this?
It's still bellow the levels in 2016 on both accounts.
so it’s not good that it’s rising then would you prefer falling "Would have been good if it was growing from a position of strength. Instead of being crashed and then growing slowly from a much lower value. Brexiteers celebrating things being shit. But not as shit as they imagined someone once said. Is like being mugged on the way home from the pub and celebrating wildly for finding 10p on the pavement. | |||

"Wasn't it supposed to be below the Euro and on par with the dollar by now?
Market rate is £1 to eur1.108 It was 1 to 1.30 in june 2016 yes and it was 1 to 1 in 2008 but what does that prove sweet fa as usual.
It shows a sustained drop in value since the UK voted to leave the EU.As far as i can remember there was no talk of brexit and we were in the eu in 2008.
Its very easy to pick a date to prove your point as i have just demonstrated,you choose to pick 2016 and i 2008 now from my date the pound has rose.
1 pound was worth 1.67 in May 2001.

"If you look at the general trend after the crash from 2010 it is a generally strengthening pound showing stable steady growth and development in the U.K. making it more attractive. It fell dramatically after the referendum and hasn’t recovered since. There is no other reason for the drop apart from Brexit. In 2008 the drop was the crash I’m sure we can go back year on year to see the pound at two dollars but as we’ve never been at the forefront of growth we fell back. With a stable gently growing economy before and after the crash you see repeated strengthening of the pound in the long term. The pound dropping is good for some business but if it continues to drop raw materials will become to expensive and we will suffer. As a net importer we need the pound to stay relatively strong to underscore our buying power The short term pain is when you’re eventually allowed on holiday and see how expensive everything has suddenly got! do you think it will drop or rise in the next cpl yrs ??? It will rise VERY sharply when the current lockdown ends. A friend of mine is a Manager of a car dealership, and he can't wait for lockdown to end: in his own words there is a lot of pent-up spending waiting to happen. He said when the first lockdown ended he sold more cars in one month than they had in 9 month period previously. Add Holiday spending to that and . . . Huge job losses..pay freezes.. I'm not sure where all this pent up spending is coming from? Are you kidding? I'm saving 100 quid a week with the pubs being shut

"Any body betting on a higher pound is deluded it's going to need to get a fair bit weaker to compensate for the brexit pig, add to that an incompetent government and barriers to trade it's a perfect storm. So the weaker pound since the referendum has been good for the UK then? It makes your imports more expensive and your exports cheaper. Sounds pretty good then
After all wasn't that why Germany adopted the Euro? Because the DM was too strong and it was affecting exports? "The EU has a positive surplus of imports of goods to the UK, whereas the UK had a positive surplus in export of services to the EU. | |||

"As I said earlier, small point percentage rises aren't over relavent to likes of the ordinary person. If you have billions to shift around, then you could make something on currency trading. Isn't this one of the main reasons the ERG lads campaigned for brexit? To make a fair wedge off currency trading. " Yes. The disaster funders who are close with the Tory traitors have done very well out of it. | |||

"If you look at the general trend after the crash from 2010 it is a generally strengthening pound showing stable steady growth and development in the U.K. making it more attractive. It fell dramatically after the referendum and hasn’t recovered since. There is no other reason for the drop apart from Brexit. In 2008 the drop was the crash I’m sure we can go back year on year to see the pound at two dollars but as we’ve never been at the forefront of growth we fell back. With a stable gently growing economy before and after the crash you see repeated strengthening of the pound in the long term. The pound dropping is good for some business but if it continues to drop raw materials will become to expensive and we will suffer. As a net importer we need the pound to stay relatively strong to underscore our buying power The short term pain is when you’re eventually allowed on holiday and see how expensive everything has suddenly got! do you think it will drop or rise in the next cpl yrs ??? It will rise VERY sharply when the current lockdown ends. A friend of mine is a Manager of a car dealership, and he can't wait for lockdown to end: in his own words there is a lot of pent-up spending waiting to happen. He said when the first lockdown ended he sold more cars in one month than they had in 9 month period previously. Add Holiday spending to that and . . . " It will rise as lockdown ends I’m sure because spending figures will improve but sales won’t reach last years 2019 numbers and low growth with high unemployment will pin it back. So go on holiday early before it falls back. It’s a wait and see how bad the damage is. I think with a no deal although some loss was already built in we would have seen the euro overtake the pound and really been in the shit. So not as bad as it could have been but not good either way. | |||

Exports been rising year on year since 2015.
Want to try again? "So ? Your missing the point we had a drop of 15 -20% in our currency so should have a massive advantage but exports barely budged and little in the way of jobs what went wrong? | |||

Why do u think we'll bounce back stronger with brexit..
I don't and I don't know. But if it works in the way that Brexiteers envision then we should. Right?

" Too much opinion at the expense of facts. Until, anything happens it's ALL Opinion. This. It's all speculation and opinion right now. All I see in this thread is Brexiteers any pleasing themselves over any tiny positive blip on the radar and Remainers waiting to say "I told you so!" itching for negative news. It's too early to early to tell. What we all need is patience. The truth will out eventually and believe me, whichever way this pans out, it will! Agreed but I think the pandemic could cloud a lot of it. If things go bad it will be..well we had this pandemic. The full extent womt be known for years . I'll say it now... "The Pandemic is not an excuse for Brexit's failure." It either works or it doesn't. End of!
I agree but it's a hell of an excuse.

Please refer to all my previous Brexit posts to understand why "The only benefit I've seen you mention so far was that the economy is only down by £50 billion in 2020 due to Brexit. Which didn't sound great to me. | |||

You want me to demonstrate the exact figure, to the nearest billion that brexit is costing the UK economy every year? I've no interest in this game.
