"Interesting that your link indicates most of the problems Europe is having are down to the rapid rise of the ultra-right influence"

That is merely your totally distorted, naive political view.

The reality is Italy is fed up with the EU as are the saintly brexiteers.
As a result the pound has risen
"Italy now finds itself in political stalemate after president Sergio Mattarella vetoed the appointment of eurosceptic Paolo Savona, 81, as finance minister.

Carlo Cottarelli has now been appointed as the Interim Prime Minister, with another election in Italy being possible as early as September.

Notably, the Sentix ‘Italexit’ index – a probability measure of Italy leaving the currency bloc – has now climbed from 3.6 per cent, to 11.3 per cent.
THE pound euro exchange rate has risen 0.4 per cent against the euro today, capitalising on political uncertainty in Italy. This has seen the pound euro exchange rate now worth €1.149."

The more Europe goes to shit, the better your holiday euros deal.
I bet the remainders all jump out to take advantage. Some here have already boasted of such behaviour.

Being wedded to an ideal obviously does nor extend to supporting the euro when it is down! The conviction is not even skin deep- It cannot even extend below the pockets of the clothes worn.
So much for convictions eh boyos?
