the Pound is dangerously low this morning, waiting for the result.
If BJ wins by a low margin, would it rebound?
I have a large bill to pay this week, should I wait or pay it before the rate gets even worse?

Wait. There will be a resurgence of the pound. It may not last the week but there will be a bounce.

Whats happening?. Yes I agree with you on both counts, a slight bounce then a gradual drop towards 95 pence to the euro. If BJ does the impossible and gets Mays deal passed ,the euro will drop rapidly to 85 pence and then slower down towards 82 . If he doesn't , then the 95 goes towards 97

What you have to understand on this game is the Iranian republican guard is different to Iran.

That ship we took is their monthly pay. To take that is to take away their source of income. Normal Iranians get by on very little.

I could go into more detail but I’m off swimming.
Where do you get this bs? Make that rhetorical. The Iranian Republican guard control between 10 and 30 percent of the iranian economy. Publicly traded economy. Circa 12 billion dollar profit/year. Sanctions are far more detrimental than one dodgy tanker for Syria. You my friend are indeed thick.

Boris made a speech where he insists
"We are going to take advantage of
All those wonderful opportunities out there"
And Energise the country

Anyone have a clue what he was ranting about?
What wonderful opportunities? even the leave campaign have given up on them!

As to this
Johnson says his campaign message of "Deliver, Unite, Defeat" might not be the best slogan as it spells "DUD".

How are you going to unite the remain faction Bojo?
And Energise the country?

And worst of all Trump likes him!

I have a rather deeper understanding of the republican guard than you.

It operates on a completely different level to the Iran you are thinking of.

But yes. I am thick. Never been much for book learning.

reading through the reaction in the papers the Sun is describing the members of the cabinet that oppose No Deal as "dead wood"
That will do wonders for the idea of "Uniting the country"

The figures are compared to March last year
Interesting that the least worst performers in terms of loss of circulation are the Times and FT
Perhaps they have cornered the market of people who can actually read?;)

They just need a few Boobs and bums and they will crack the Market!
There is thing called The Internet, which is available on computers too these days! People choose to get there news from on-line sources (The Internet), so sales of printed news is in decline.

It's a bit like the high street. Shops are closing, but that's not because people can't figure out how to open the shop door, it's because they get their treasure off The Internet. The Internet.....try it, I think you might like it.

Nigel said he asked the President if he had a message for the British people.

"Sure he said," Nigel told LBC "I think Boris will make a great Prime Minister, he brings much needed energy to the job. The last three years have been pathetic.


"I want him, to work with you Nigel, to get the Brexit deal done."


Who the Heck are you, Trump to require what are supposedly our representatives to work for you?

Mmmm Farage seems to be turning into a Trump groupie turning up unexpectedly in the crowds trying to catch his idol's eye... (I wonder if the expenses claim for his transaltlantic jaunt will be paid by BXP or the EU...)

This is from the Wall Street Journal’s Vivian Salama.
Trump notes that Nigel Farage is in the crowd for his speech to Turning Point USA. "I said 'what's Nigel doing here?' He's a little older than you folks. He's going to work well with Boris. They're going to do tremendous things."
He adds: "Boris is good. he'll do a good job."

I suspect Trumpo is about to be very disappointed in his pet monkeys

Arlene Foster asks BoJo to 'renew' the £1bn-plus confidence and supply agreement over the coming weeks.

How much more will it cost I wonder.

look up two words "Rhetorical question"

I did and here’s what it said.

Rhetorical questions are those questions that do not expect an answer. These are used simply as a way of drawing attention to something.

You clearly wrote the question in such a way that it expected a response. You can’t just ask a question then say it’s rhetorical. I know English is a second language to you but please try and not be so stupid it becomes offensive.

Thank you in advance.

I hope they (Including the Japanese Car manufacturers) form an orderly Queue
This is where my idea of "Brexit Bonds" could save the day :cool:
