Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
I don't care what the truth is or isn't, frankly. The conversation here is not a heart-on-sleeves one about deep-rooted long-term cause and effect. We are simply describing what's happened. And one thing that happened is that the pound suddenly plunged as soon as the leave vote was confirmed. In my mind there's no doubt as to why the pound plunged, but hey-ho, we're told it was an overdue "correction." Yeah, right, not brexit's fault then! Next thing we're told is that remainers are causing the pound to wobble. Yeah, right. And your piece is over two years old, by the way. Perhaps you could explain why, in spite of a terrible election result for the Tories, terrible divisions in the ruling party and shocking and ongoing stasis in the brexit negotiations, the pound hasn't wobbled very much at all in the last four or five months. Since last August I've been looking out every single day for a good time to top up next year's holiday money. I didn't make a single move until Wednesday this week. Looks like it wasn't a bad move, but we'll see. Don't like it up 'em? Just keeping soldiering on, that's all.
