London brokers have been shorting the pound since the start of the summer.

The financial statement on Friday was not welcomed by the markets. The dollar is strong and surging, and the markets only see a UK recession and interest rates rising. Maybe even upto 5%.

New York analysts are even talking about dollar-pound parity soon, and maybe even worse.

there is a definite disconnect between the zealots of free market policies, and the free market.

The Tories are starting to become the worst part of a religion, when you see no resemblance between the way they act, and the teachings they say they believe in....

Bankers have been shorting the pound for ever. Even goerge soros and his banking buddies broke the bank of England in 1992.

Disturbing for the Tory party donors who weren't informed in advance of the mini budget maybe. For the rest of us, BAU for the Conservatives.
