    Why the panic? Plenty of noise because the majority of the market got it wrong. Who cares if Investment Bankers got a bloody nose.

    UK exports benefit by the way.

    But as we import far more than we export (£100 billion more),then we are the losers as inflation starts to rise.

    Germany runs Europe.

    No the unelected officials run Europe, Germany is going down the toilet now the EZ is falling apart, Germany is left holding the bag.

    The EZ is finished, UK did the right thing getting out first. "Punishing" Greece and "punishing" us are two totally different ball games, light years apart, the EZ can`t win this one.

    The EZ is finished and the euro is too.

    That's like saying the civil service is unelected. It's a nonsense arguement parroted by idiots.
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    Forward buy or sell currency. Fix your costs.

    Deal with the € every day. So monitor the fluctuations first hand.

    Again a very simplistic view. You must monitor things quite a distance from the decisions.

    As is the argument that prices in Wood Green will never drop.

    The biggest decision you've made lately is whether to buy a monthly bus pass.

    What party is going to run on a ticket that means half the voters automatically won`t vote for them? Not going to happen.

    One that realises that voters are fickle souls, who are suffering from further public sector cuts, inflation, reduced job security and the like. One that realises that they argued for Remain and the the public believed the others.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.
