    The pound is unworthy

    The pound .....is funny money

    Oh dear for all those hoping the UK could get out of it's Ponzi scheme by joining the Euro wil be disappointed. The ECB doesn't want it.

    Did you read the article, cretin?

    "The pound's recovery this week from near parity to €1.09 may help blunt criticism. The euro's Winter rally is petering out as grim data emerges from across Europe. "

    HTH
    Hard Brexit now!

      With such an incompetent Government, we can only expect our economy to suffer at the expense of our electorate.

      Lies, lies and yet more lies.

        Blaster isn't a cretin
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          More irrelevant dross from the ECB. The British economy isn't welcome, but tin pot economies like Greece are. Well go figure.

          Why on earth we would want to join a currency when the balance of probabilities is that people will leave it now that it is become more and more apparent how screwed the eurozone is is beyond me.
          Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

            Agree! It's a joke - and in another 3-4 months when it sinks more we can laugh at the cheese eating engineering twats

              Mind you the cost of leaving the Euro could be astounding.

              Printing money (establishing mints in many cases)
              Conversion of currencies in bank accts retail and wholesale outlets and businesses
              Legislation
              Central banks
              Taxation

              Probably loads of other factors.

              I can't see changing currency as being a cheap operation to do in times of extreme financial stress.

                There is a mounting anger in EU circles over the slide in sterling, seen by some as a deliberate 'beggar-thy-neighour' policy evoking the Great Depression. "The 30pc fall in the pound is the biggest devaluation by any country in the single market since it was created in 1957," said one ex-commissioner. "There is going to be a serious political reaction to this in coming weeks."
                Sounds threatening.


                Maybe the EU will force us to contribute more?

                Make us pay 25% extra for our food?

                Or over-regulate our economy?

                And destroy our Fishing industry?

                Maybe let millions from Eastern and Southern Europe into our country?

                .....



                How much worse can it get?

                  The UK is part of the EU so if all of the above were to take place then the UK would have been party to it, non?
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
