This has been happening for years so nothing to see here.
60% of the globe is currently fighting inflationary forces. The fault of Brexit? Obviously not.


Foreign investment has slumped in the UK since brexit and reflected by the plummet of Sterling. You can keep denying that but those are the facts. Another fact is that the Eurozone is booming and that all countries within the EU are showing growth with the UK at the bottom of the pile. The UK is in political and economic disarray which plays right into the hand of the other 27 nations during brexit negotiations.

I think that's right and for a long time ahead the UK looks risky.

No wonder seasoned brexiters like the MP John Redwood advise moving your funds out of the UK.

I've never denied it. You really should pay more attention.
Your second ''fact'' though is far from true. Fact.

More capitulation from the UK:

"Brexit: UK plans to soften impact on European banks"

[Link]

A desperate move for a desperate situation.

You would think that you should think about your adopted states banks more than ours, given their situation:

How is the governments stance ‘desperate’?

What's my 'adopted' state then? I'm in Austria now for a while and then we'll see what suits us next. The problem with people like yourself is that you are a slave to your 'state'. I move to where suits my family best, that might be for a few months or a few years.

I'm sure that most of us live where "suits our families best" and for most of us that is the UK

Of course we are.

Nope, all the Eurozone countries are showing growth:

"For the first time in a long time, every EU economy is growing at the same time"

[Link]

That's a pretty amazing feat considering the number of countries involved. Even Romania is showing huge growth, 5.7% compared to the UK's 1.4%:

"Romania confirmed as EU’s fastest growing economy"

[Link]

A very big contrast to this:

"UK is the worst-performing advanced economy in the world, official figures confirm"

[Link]

My point, which I'll repeat so it doesn't get lost in a torrent of links, is that EU numbers without Germany are nothing to write home about and that Germany benefits hugely from a weak euro.

This is a Bank of England decision and a number of banks already operate as branches rather than subsidiaries.

The financial system that continually robs us all looking after the financial system that continually robs us all shocker.

Why it's given you a hard-on i'll never know but each to his own.

The Euro has been strong for the last 2 years, still all Eurozone countries are growing, most well ahead of the UK.
