GBP to Euro ROE virtually the same now as Brexit Day 31 Jan 2020.

GBP and Euro have both moved very similarly vs the USD in the same period, @ 10% down.

So overall since Jan 31 2020 GBP and Euro have behaved very similarly vs the USD.

Presumably the countries that use the Euro are still in the EU.

Pesky facts for those claiming Brexit effect on GBP "collapse".

Going back to 2016 would be of little use as the GBP has lost 20% and Euro 10% vs the USD. The 10% difference is not enough to be meaningful.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I didn’t vote at all I’ve never voted in any election but has anything actually got better since leaving the eu

walking down the holmesdale road to see the palace aces!

Evidence?

It is laughable that Leavers claim some sort of high ground during a period of transition where economic wobbles were easily predictable, Some of us are thinking a little longer term.

Our current crises have nothing to do with Brexit, as you know full well.

It was about principles of control and what forms you endorse.

Other than a vote no individual gets more of a say on what happens afterwards.

One thing is for sure, anyone who voted remain and then looks at how the EU have behaved can be of no doubt as to their nature.

That no one comes out smelling of roses isn’t the point.

It’s whether, on balance, we are better inside than out.

Of course no one gets a say other than at a GE. That’s the way a representative democracy works. The EU simply extends that principle whilst adding considerable benefits of collective action and strength.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Anything that works against greater globalism works for me.

I'm all for co-operation on mutual interests but the more power you give politicians the more greater the feck ups and the lies will be to cover them.......I think recent events are pretty strong evidence for that.

The EU is awash with low quality technocrats and politicians with far more power than their abilities warrant.

Over decades, politicians have lowered people's standard of living, not increased it. They essentially work as a containment layer between us plebs and the much more wealthy.....if they were employed privately by a business interested in increasing the wealth of the nation they would be given their P45s straight away.

With the current democracy in the UK you essentially get uni-parties.
