    Pound falling again this morning, which is likely to lead to more expensive imports and thence inflation. Bank of England can't act because we are about to be hit with Boris's cliff-edge Brexit which will likely cause a recession. Good, this taking back control lark, innit?

    Call me a cynic... but I do wonder if there is a concerted effort through risky rhetoric to push the pound lower to make trade with US even more attractive?

    Atlantic Bridge is just one group advocated and encouraged amid large parts of the tory right. Ironic. Take back control... rich tories profit from US taken it instead.

    And another £2 Bn promised to fund no deal this morning. We live in the age of idiocy!

    It's ok, don't worry, we'll only be spending circa £47bn to leave the EU, fund no deal planning or bribe the DUP. Money well spent to keep out a foreigner or two from those EU states like... hmm Syria..... Somalia.... Iraq.

    We'll have deals galore in a decade or 3, and many of us will be dead by then, so we should just be thankful.

    Obviously. I'm asking for your personal opinion out of interest with this being a forum.

    It dropped in 2009 but you are quoting the tourist exchange rate not the real exchange rate which of course would have been higher.

    I do wonder why so many want to ‘take back control’ who live in working class areas in the north of England.

    From my experience I trust the EU a lot more than the Tories
