You don't see that in Poland either. They have toilets there.

The pound has fallen in early trading in Asia on Monday, adding to Friday's record one-day decline.
Sterling was trading at $1.3443, down more than 2% from Friday's close. Against the euro it was trading at €1.2165, down 1.3%.
On Friday the pound had its biggest one-day fall against the dollar, at one stage sinking as low as $1.3236.
Some traders are betting that the pound still has further to slide.

The irony is strong in these links. They obviously didn't read 1984, or perhaps they did and are implementing it......in which case it's not ironic.

I'm inclined to say 0 to 5% is nothing to worry about. Unless it repeats and repeats.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

It's only been 2 days "3" if you want to inc Friday - these remain campaigners are like 2 year olds going through toddler tantrums.

I'm glad I'm on the leave side the grass is looking much greener here

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

You make it sound like a football match.

The grass is greener for some for sure. Those on the more 'UKIP'py side seem to be spitting blood though, as Nigel Farage has been sidelined and won't be involved in negotiations, and the other leading lights of the leave campaign are advocating the UK remaining in the EEA, with free movement of labour a result.

Yes. Whether you agree with her position or not at least she has one. HM government and opposition are AWOL.

As for being misled again I've already said I don't think the official leave campaign expected to win and did they lie and exaggerate some things yes they did as did remain as well so no difference and neither better then the other. Anyone who voted last Thursday whether they voted leave or remain based purely on what the campaigns were saying was naive and there were likely just as many people on both sides influenced by the campaign lies so again no one side is better then the other.

That online petition is a complete joke just look at where all the votes are coming from it has as much relevance as fairy dust.

I also voted understanding nothing much would change for at least two years as that's how long it takes to leave the EU per article 50, yet now we have a bunch of remainers asking for the plan and what's happening now. Some see what Cameron did as dignified it wasn't he again said one thing and did the opposite he said if the country voted leave he'd start article 50 and he just up and quit knowing it would create a delay and put things into limbo. Maybe leave have a plan maybe they don't and are currently working on one now but it is right to take the time to ensure a period of calm after the shock.

Its a shame the poster boy for leave didn't share your view then isn't it and the petition isn't a joke when I saw the headline 30k were questionable out of nearly 3 million, that's a pretty piffling number

I've spoken to people from one immigrant population that absolutely dispise another group of immigrants. Now more than ever all community's need to pull together.

An go read the gay pride thread on DS, a member of the LGBTQ Comunity says you can spot straight people by the awful dress sense and the fact they stink of BO, that's very hateful!

I disagree with you about Britain being less racist than the rest of Europe, pretty much all of whom except Denmark surrendered more Jews than were required by the nazis and never showed much remorse for their actions or I'd imagine learnt from those actions and I think I also don't like the use of the word tolerant, I'm not sure I'd feel to welcome in a country that tolerated me. Finally it's funny I could spot people who attended pride the other night as they were in the main laying in the gutter covered in their own puke at 5am, go gays, great way to show pride in your community

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Sterling back to almost all time lows at $1.3388, down 2%. The lowest point on Friday was $1.3362.

FTSE 100 futures also tumbling down 4% at 5907.

Don't keep your money in banks folks..... under the pillow would be safer. This is from someone who queued outside a Northern Rock bank at 7am back in 2007...

The silence from the leave camp has been deafening, one would think they didn't have a plan if they won................

Also where is gorgeous George? Pointless really because when Cameron resigned he basically signed George's resignation letter too.

Tbf they didn't need to have an plan for leaving, their not implementing it, leave isn't a political party or government, what the remain group failed to do is point out that leave had absolutely no idea what'd happen if we left, pin them down on that the having an actual workable plan is irrelevant

Wonder what will happen when the food and fuel start to go up and up, guess people won't groan about it to much as they knew this was going to happen when they voted

Sounds like he is going for EEA-style deal. Freedom of movement, single market but no social chapter stuff.

I noticed the boarded up shopfronts, a general massive level of delapidation. What struck me was the feeling of menace that I felt walking around. But what really, really, struck me was the human excrement & toilet paper on the pavement! Now I have no proof that this was deposited by a Pole or any other European but I don't see this kind of thing in Tonbridge or Bexleyheath or Tonbridge Wells etc....where we don't have a large influx of Poles etc
I mentioned all this to the elderly couple who had run the B&B I was staying at and they told me about the petitions that had been ignored by the council and how many of their neighbours were selling up and leaving.
As I said, I like(d) the Poles and Eastern Europeans (not so sure now) but I'm not sure that unfettered immigration is all that good for our country....especially if we are being forced to let in jaust anyone from those countries. :shrug:

Who the hell is that? :confused:

EU migrants regularly turn up in London without a home and a job to go to. and defecate in public.

Even my cats go somewhere private and bury it!

The police keep moving them on, they keep converging in the subways etc.

If this sort of thing had of been sorted out without the R word being bandied about, i'm confident that the vote would have been a different outcome.

If you mean inflation, I'm interested in what happens to the housing market once the Bank of England raise interest rates to fight inflation. At the moment, it may go the other way into deflation which would make everything cheaper.
