"GBP is now sitting at a whopping 12.75% higher rate that it was when it was at its lowest in 2008. A definite sign of strong growth and shows that the markets are following the UK's successful exit from the evil EU. Experts are quick to remind us that not only is this a 12.75% increase from am all time low but also a 3 year high. The Pound to Euro rate has averaged €1.33 over its full 20-year history however these figures should be ignored as they do not fit in with the positive Brexit message that we should be embracing. Remember - only quote facts if they help augment the success of leaving the EU otherwise carefully select parts of newsworthy items that can be used to do the same.

He has posted a few times in full detail about the changes to his business forced on him by people who don't fully understand their own rules and systems. His first thread in January even detailed what steps he had taken to offset the expected problems, but he was caught out by the sheer scale of the clusterfuck. He describes at length the real world problems you are responsible for with your vote. He was driving a well serviced vehicle but you loosened his wheel nuts. If you choose to ignore the evidence presented it's not discredited, you just haven't read and understood it. | |||

"GBP is now sitting at a whopping 12.75% higher rate that it was when it was at its lowest in 2008. A definite sign of strong growth and shows that the markets are following the UK's successful exit from the evil EU. Experts are quick to remind us that not only is this a 12.75% increase from am all time low but also a 3 year high. The Pound to Euro rate has averaged €1.33 over its full 20-year history however these figures should be ignored as they do not fit in with the positive Brexit message that we should be embracing. Remember - only quote facts if they help augment the success of leaving the EU otherwise carefully select parts of newsworthy items that can be used to do the same. Truth should never get in the way of our message. We won - get over it. " You do know it was 1.33 the day before the brexit vote don’t you..... nice of you to choose 2008 though But hey.. you keep pounding out that small victory like North Korean state media does a nuclear launch! ![]() | |||

"It just touched 1.16 isn't that fantastic for the country ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think you're showing a little unawareness of how significant these figures are. Net worth of the UK is about 9.8 trillion. With a 3 point increase in euro rate (and 5 points on the dollar) our collective net worth has gone up by 392 billion. In six weeks. Brexit benefits. More to come. | |||

"It just touched 1.16 isn't that fantastic for the country ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I put it to you, that remainers do less damage to the value of the pound speaking. Than leavers do by voting leave. Exhibit A. Value of the pound dropped by 16 points the day after the referendum result. Exhibit B. Value of the pound dropped by 4 points the day after the transition period ended. | |||

Markets dislike uncertainty more than anything as it prevents them pricing assets accurately. Remainers taking legal action to overturn a democratic votes etc etc is just selfish and unpatriotic. Fortunately as more and more remainers see the light and get with the program we will recover from this blip and soar to new heights. | |||

So currency value isn't impacted by economy, and doesn't take into account a member of the biggest trading block in the world, voting to leave. But currency is impacted by a fella with a megaphone. Absolutely incredible (if true). | |||

"Does anyone remember that kid in school who used to catch onto something - albeit slowly at first - then wouldn't let go of it for a whole school year when everybody else had. He was the 'Lobster' kid. Move on." Speak to Capt Lobster. Don't shoot the messenger. | |||

"Pound against the Aussie dollar biggest jump for a year upto 1.80 blimey ![]() 2013 was prior to the brexit referendum being a reality. So I would suggest this is unrelated to brexit. I'm just pointing out that since brexit, the value of the pound has tanked. I am not suggesting you can't continue to celebrate these micro fluctuations. Just suggesting that some context would be useful. | |||
