Usd is down on both sterling and euro due to predictions on their 2018 interest rate rises. If you want to discuss that in relation to brexit, then it's increasingly unlikely they'll be buying any of our exports. Their currency is too weak and they are on their own misguided protectionist agenda.

Name me a single year in the past 200 years when the US did not buy "any of our exports".

Eh? Let me get this right. Are you saying that the dollar is down because US interest rates will go up this year?

The world believe it or not isn't greatly interested in Brexit nor punishing the UK. Best to keep matters in perspective.

Hyperbole is your average Remainers friend.

I think some posters need reminding that Britain has not yet left the EU.
To crow or critisize growth number in a Brexit debate is not really relevant, YET.

Britain it appears will leave the EU at the end of March or might leave after a transition period that might last between 21 and +72 months.

However after 17 months of Uncertainty to think that those 17 months have been good for Britain takes a lot of believing.

IMO during this time there have been many, many small decisions made in boardrooms and at kitchen tables in Britain and around the World that has and will damage Britains future.
These things are happening NOW.
Leaving the EU is turning out as I predicted as a death by a thousand cuts.

Then unfortunately you've lost touch with the UK in general. I watched an interesting series on Middle USA recently. While I don't particularly like Trump. I can fully understand where his core vote is coming from. Best to keep an open mind. Rather than be dismissive to easily of others.

Your retreat from your earlier description of Brexit being an ongoing "disaster" for the UK is noted.
Like most remain supporters you predict disaster in the future, when the future becomes the present and the disaster doesn't transpire you change the timeline or the potential disaster to suit.
Over reliance on fear based conjecture lost you the referendum.

No need to look at the future.

You're very much welcome to keep your head buried in the sand though.

Here's an example of just how scared the EU are of the success of a post-Brexit UK:

Not at all, they just don't want us undermining them by cutting tax and regulations. I'm not sure beating them in a race to the bottom counts as success.

We haven't said that we will do any of those things. It would appear that you are in favour of the EU interfering with the internal affairs of a sovereign state.
