@brianatab, where have you got the figure of 2 million from?
This is a big part of the problem. People throw around inaccurate figures and unless the audience knows their stuff or scrutinises, then you've got fake news being spread and it adds up to the point when it begins to influence people's opinions.
You also mention people making voting choices to 'teach you a lesson'...if there was one post which sums up why many remainers find the possibility of Brexit/no deal Brexit difficult to accept then this is it.
Much of this has sprouted from people voting out of spite, despite the potential consequences, and citing inaccurate figures to justify it. Of course, I accept that there are credible reasons why some people voted to leave the EU, but this is the kind of nonsense many people find difficult to accept.

Looks stg is down circa 20% since the result to brexit was announced in 2016.
It probably makes sense that it has a bit to fall further with a buffoon bs Brexiteer (Boris) surrounded by reappointed hard line liars (oh sorry leavers) back in power for the mo. (David Davies and his detailed sectoral analysis, Mogg moving his business interests to Dublin,etc,etc., etc)
It's all a bit depressing tbh. Brexit entails breaking up a union that has given peace, prosperity and massive social progress in Europe for over 70 years now. Hard line Brexiteer bs means leaving single markets and customs union that have been key to providing prosperity in the UK for ~ 50 years now....
Leaving means accepting a lower standard of living,reduced interconnectedness with Europe and greatly reduced social progress for what !?
(A small misunderstanding on external EU immigration, and nationalism fuelled by lies)

@skimastaaah, Flipping heck. The brexit referendum was on 23 June, it had already fallen considerably by the 1/7/16, which you are using as the comparator. Get your facts straight.

@Ryunis has it in one, taking the stg rate pre referendum and what it's at today, that's really the only comparator that has any real relevance imho...
Here is his quote fyi again:
"The pound is back where it was (relative to EUR) on Saturday. That's hardly a monumental shift. Over the last 90 days it has fallen 3% and it's a similar number over the last 180 days.
The simple matter of the fact is that before the EU referendum, £1 bought you over 1.30EUR and now it only buys you around 1.11EUR. Depends what your business is but for a net importing economy, overall, that's not a good thing and for people like me ...."
Now I always feel that 19/131 (or 19/111 even) is circa 20%, for the sake of making my point !! 
(I.e secular decline of stg, and possible likely further drops)

I love the way that the apologists for Brexit so deftly manage to make it look like its just fine that the euro is 10% down against Sterling. I don't recall the Leave propaganda saying anything about having to pay £120 billion extra for imports since the vote, or seeing 10,000 EU nurses and clinicians go home early and not be replaced, or enduring a 30% drop in foreign investment (vs a 48% increase in the EU 27)? But then, of course, this is somehow all the fault of Traitor Remainers.
I was around during the Cold War and the rhetoric from the Government is chillingly reminiscent of how the Politbureau used to talk: Communism wasn't working because people were insufficiently committed to The Cause and lacked the necessary optimism - all of them Traitors to The Will of the Proletariat. Sound familiar?

@skimastaaah, 24th June is the day it took a tanking. Need to be looking at the 23rd. It feels like splitting hairs but the figures to analyse against should be pre-results announcement. This is a distraction from the main debate but it's important that the right figures are being quoted

The €39bn is actually much more ..like double but whatever
No Deal and
Failure to pay means
No Future Trade Talks
and possible Sovereign debt default, whose consequences are well known..
With that in mind i cannot see anykind of recovery for Sterling unless the rhetoric is turned down and there is a change of direction from the UK.

I'm hoping (but I am an optimist) that the no deal Brexit rhetoric is just that....
Though what I don't like is the structure of bs Boris's cabinet, gove, Davies, mogg et al are a nasty, biased bunch to have hold of the levers of power imho
For however long they hold them, which may be brief indeed.... gone by October hopefully (& I ain't any Corbyn fan either, but if he saves the uk from Brexit, he will have done some good imho...)

This is the problem now. Traditional Tory voters now voting for labour to stop Brexit. Handing power over to Corbyn will screw the economy in lord knows what way and he hasn't ruled out Brexit either. All he has stated is that he wants to block a no deal and he wont vote for a deal that puts workers rights in a worse position. That could leave us leaving without a deal by default with how non comital the guy is.

A change may be good ( I.e. better than the imploding Tories, bickering while leading the uk off a cliff face...)

That's what caused Brexit, but apparently all brexiteers are cretins and they didn't know what they were voting for.
Just what exactly is anyone voting for with Corbyn

Pretty much the level of sophisticated, evidence-based discussion that I anticipated from The Brexit Party Ltd*

Not just Sterling that's acting like a lemming! *thinks*…. Toyota, Honda, Vauxhall, Mini, ,,,,,,, I don't recall all this being on BoJo's bandwagon!
The English language has no shortage of cruel names for people, and one of them is cretin, which is what you'd call someone who is very, very dumb in the head. ... Surprisingly, the root of cretin is the Swiss French word crestin, which means “Christian.”

No, there's a clue in the name - it is to limit their liability. A very prudent and normal thing to do if you want to protect your personal assets. If you started a political party I guarantee you'd do the same. From what I can tell most political parties run at a deficit.

Only London, Scotland & Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU - All 3 areas fill the bottom 4 for Turnout %.
Why should the rest of the UK appease those 2 countries who couldnt even be bothered to vote in proper numbers? If they want to leave the UK, then Cherifvuckino imo.
England & Wales vote combined would be around 55% v 45% to leave.

@Mr.Egg, I honestly think Scotland would leave the UK this time if it was allowed another vote. The behaviour & attitude shown by English voters in the media has not gone down well at all up here & many of the no voters I know have swung to independence.
On another note, I’m in Alps just now & this is the first time I have noticed that the prices are on the up.

I have English and Scottish ancestry, and would hate to see them leave the UK.
However, if Scotland left the UK, it would add another 400,000 to the leave majority for the UK, bringing it to 1.76million, or 5.5%
Scotland is a member of the EU by virtue of being a part of the UK.
What the SNP have never explained is that by leaving the UK, they also opt to leave the EU. They cannot negotiate to join until the date they leave. There is no fast track system for countries to join.
What will be the economic consequences for Scotland which currently receives large amounts of EU (really UK) subsidies.
In addition, what will be the effects on the prosperity of the Clyde when the Royal Navy is relocated to other British Ports?
Unless of course, the SNP actually believes we will stay there and commission new ships there.

The referendum wasn't decided by constituencies or regions or countries. It was a UK + gib vote.
Ms cranky is desperate for a 2nd indy ref & brexit or no brexit she would be looking for one. After all, she never accepted the original vote.

@Mr.Egg,
I agree that the vote was a national one. I was just expanding the argument of the SNP to a possible new scenario.
btw I love the tag Ms Cranky. maybe we should start a petition to get it officially odopted.

| When holidaymakers stood in line to change their money at airport exchange desks yesterday, they faced something of a shock. |
there are no queues at airport exchange, as nobody is dumb enough to exchange at the rates they offer. Usually 10% worse than you get on the high street.
I usually have very little cash on me. I have travel cards that offer better rates than cash.

so few use them, they need to give poor rates to cover costs. Ive never seen a queue at any exchange in an airport.
Who plans for a holiday sometimes a year or more in advance & dont change travel money until at the airport?
