Isn't it a 31 year low against the dollar? But they don't mention the dollar. It's about 1.2 against euro and abut 3/ 4 years ago the pound was nearly level with the euro. You nearly get 12 swedish krona (a bit like the old French franc, naturally about 10 to the pound) to the pound. Being half swedish I remember when it was nearly 7 krona to the pound. It's certainly not at its lowest. It only seems to be against the dollar and maybe Chinese currency bit I don't know how the Chinese currency naturally stands in general.

Southampton I wouldn't want to inflict damage on anyone or anything in pursuit of a united Ireland, even though I always have and always will want a united Ireland. But damaging others is not the way. I want a united Ireland that is based on respect, consent, equality and a desire for all of us to move forward wanting the best for each other as well as ourselves. Most of all we need to look at our children and ask what life we want for them. That is the only thing that should inform our aspirations.

It's definitely not right wing franky. It's much sicker than that. It's complete domination of Europe masquerading as liberal lefty idealistic bullshit.

kim you could be right, unions and members actively proposing deselection which I thought was unlikely.

I am to young to remember the sdp / lib dems split years ago but this is civil war and nothing is impossible, like I said a few times the eu vote and corbyn doing a uturn, well one thing is certain if he voted out those unions that are fully behind now would have turned their backs with this coo and he would be out of a job now.

Let's see article 50 activated before we start making any sort of prediction about the where the pound will settle. It's bound to be a bumpy ride in the short term.

27 Jun 2016 19:30:30
I'd be worried by that Frankie. They're going to use every trick in the book to undermine the credibility of the result.

Definately TTTS, see some of my post below.

yep mate there are to many things happening all over the world right and left wing that have 1 thing in common, a lack of trust in the establishment .

27 Jun 2016 15:14:05
Exactly Ed033.

The kind of comments on MSM (radio etc)
"A woman who voted to leave the European Union has admitted she "never thought it would happen".

Barbara from the West Midlands has said she did not "understand the ramifications" that a Leave vote could cause" speak to a radio presenter on 5Li**

LOL, this is beyond a joke really. People need to take a step back, take stock and see what's really going on.

Also, from MP etc that a lot of people voted 'out' was a 'protest vote'. Come on, people are waking up, and that will be plain to see very soon, and the elite won't be able do anything about it.

I could see the labour party splitting up. A hard left anti eu party under corbyn, maybe even taking over some of the lib Dems. And a blairite pro eu party claiming to be centre left.

I could also see the tories splitting too. The anti eu right merging with ukip and the remnants forming a pro eu party claiming to be centre right.

all ukip are Southampton is another arm of the tory party, when they get challenged on there polices, which they don't have apart from immigration they come up sadly lacking, farage couldn't even be arsed to have a debate about leaving the eu, yet he was one of the 1st in front of the camera's after he realised the out vote had won, they are no different than the bnp only a little bit more subtle, don't waste your time and vote with that lot, Franky good post but sadly I think corbyn will be gone by October as he has simply failed to ignite the labour party, labour need to have a complete re-think about what they stand for and who they represent, the trouble is to the average voter, the only way to tell the 3 main parties apart is by the colour of the ties they wear. Labour needs to get its identity back and whilst there is infighting going on that is unlikely to happen, they have never recovered by choosing the wrong milliband imo. There next choice has to be the right choice, a weak government needs to be challenged by a strong opposition party, at the moment sadly that is not labour, so if corbyn has to go to make that happen, so be it.

That's it
Then when we are out of Europe with good terms
We can then vote the next party in power
by then the next will pop up as a supposed working mans party or what ticks the boxes for people

But first we need out of this CIA operation.

27 Jun 2016 14:30:36
Also parliament needs to be in the middle of our country
Not London.

27 Jun 2016 14:34:43
Also got a Q for me Irish
Is there no way you can infilict more damage to the govt
By uniting the country again?
Might be dumb question becuase I'm not to familier with Ireland's politics sorry.

civil war in the plp
if it comes to a vote which it prob will, he will win .
people who think because of the north east vote that every1 is going to jump on the ukip bandwagon are living in cloud cuckoo land .
i am fully pro corbyn but voted out .

as for a general election one thing is very clear the establishment are trying to put out fires left and right and people are fed up, to say the tories would win is very premature as they will continue to attack the working classes and now middle class voters,

granted the civil war in the lab party does not help, but in reality this was always going to happen and is a watershed moment in labours history on what direction its going .

me I am firmly behind corbyn and I am doing my own small contribution online with grassroots movements .

one thing is for sure goldman sachs and the friends of israel lobbies are behind this coup d'état

me personally thinks deselection of career politicians is the only way forward even thou its unlikely to happen.

Best thing you can do with PJW is to ignore him.

27 Jun 2016 12:44:44
watson going into alex jones mode .
i liked watson but his calim that the EU was a left wing kabul was a total lie, its right wing masquerading itself.

27 Jun 2016 02:55:07
Yes as ed said, Not to forget
Bailouts that are 100 percent needed and run in the billions
And it's a well known fact billions miss our economy every single year we are in EU.

Exactly he lacks credibility.

A lot of his ideological views are stuck in the early 80's. Its no longer relevant to most people.

As a backbench MP he voted against his own party 500 times. 500. Now rebelling on something like Iraq fair enough. But 500,times? Yet he's demanding loyalty from MP's when he never showed any prior to becoming leader.

He's made a lot unwise appointments and surrounded himself with inexperience.

Yes the blairites have been a disgrace but as leader its his responsibility to unite them. He hasn't instead he's pushed them further away.

Now he's threatening to have the unions nominate disloyal MP's at the next election. Not a wise move.

The British people have never gravitated towards either political extreme. Which is why a hard left labour party was unelectable in the past. That won't change any time soon. Also a hard right party stands little chance unless the economy totally collapses. Which is unlikely.

Good point ed
That is why ukip get my next vote.
