The weak pound is not all bad news is it.

The weak pound keeps driving up the value of my investments in emerging markets most of which are valued in $.

I hope Theresa May ends the week with 2 fingers up to the EU and Jean Claude Juncker.... apparently the currency traders are hanging on her every word and anything that she says that indicates a hard Brexit drives the £ down against the $.

Nice....

I see the FTSE reached yet another all time high today. Think how much higher it would be without that bloody Brexit!

The 250 is a better indicator, and also nearing all time highs, the 100 has companies that have zero UK earnings.

The pound has been lower than it is now without record highs on the FTSE being reached. Companies being successful helps everyone.

Union officials don't want to hear that though......

Well anyone with a pension fund should benefit - which is most I'd have thought.

It certainly is if they are paying taxes

A weaker pound will re-introduce a bit of inflation which will make everyone feel a bit better when their wages rise by a greater amount than they've been experiencing during the deflationary era that we've been experiencing since 2008

Could say the same about your buddies in ASLEF and RMT.

It wouldn't be any higher as these rises have nothing to do with Brexit and everything to do with the “bailouts” and quantitative easing projects, a never-ending river of currency created (out of thin air) and pumped into companies for near zero interest.
It was these free loans that allowed companies to purchase their own stocks through stock buybacks thus reducing the number of existing stocks on the exchanges and artificially boosting the price of the remaining stocks.
This has caused the stock market to skyrocket but it does nothing to help the economy at all, it just papers over the cracks.

How many people have you successfully represented this week in cases of employer bullying or employer breaching terms of contract?

 

Hoof Hearted 14 Jan 17 10.48am

Can somebody translate this message into a simple language that a Union Official might understand?

I am not responding directly to Gusset on here because I do not wish to perpetuate arguments by going round and round the houses arguing with a half wit with a potty mouth.

Are you saying you are allowed to make comments about me without allowing me a right of reply? How democratic of you.
