    It's only of interest to those who have a few quid, 80p pound means nothing to those who have very little, and cannot afford holidays abroad.

    It'll mean something to them when all the imported items are sky rocketing in price.

    When you got very little cash to buy goods never mind imported goods, it'll mean next to nothing, just look at the demographic of the out vote, it was two fingers up to those with two cars, foreign holidays, index linked pensions and so on, you only had to see the sulkers on this board, the remain camp were those in the i'm alright jack club, it's easy to pretend to care for others when you're doing OK.

    The bottom line Tommy is that, the pound has always gone up and down as has the stock markets, the get rich quick merchants are currently manipulating the currency for their quick buck, Soros and his mates will be having a field day, he broke the £ once before without having Brexit to blame, the majority voted to exit, the consequences will have to be suffered or gained depending on how it goes, the poorer ares voted to exit, politicians should be looking at their performances in ignoring the poor for years and years, they were given a bloody nose and I suspect that the people who gave it to them couldn't give a friar tuck about anything the Biased Broadcasting Corporation prints politicians shouldn't fall into the trap of telling voters they did the wrong thing, they should apologize for creating the divide that a majority said, I have next to nothing to lose, i don't care of the outcome but i'm going to take this opportunity to stick my two fingers up to you, whilst i might not agree with the outcome, I can certainly understand why they voted in the way they did, why shouldn't they have had some of the euro spoils, the thin end of nothing is still nothing.

    The pound going to a 130 odd year low is down to a 'fluctuation'? right.
    not gonna bother with the rest of your post because it's not relevant to what I wrote

    Depends how you define prosperous. I know a few people who I would consider prosperous who voted for Brexit. Many of the older generation.

    Look it up, the regions that voted brexit are poorer. The wealthier areas voted remain.

    The stats dont go into individual wealth, but the areas prosperity. Even with all this euro money spent on gentrification, it still didnt help their prosperity. So a leave vote was always going to happen for the poorer areas.

    I doubt it's that simple.

    If you follow the idea that Labour voters are more likely to be worse off than Tory voters, we know that Labour voters voted more likely to remain.

    Suppose that you are right. It makes little sense for the worst off to vote for something that was, and is, likely to hit their pockets for a number of years afterwards, though maybe that lack of sense explains something.

    Well, some minutes ago I found myself nodding in agreement with your posts in the Ched Evans thread, and now this, which I also agree with. Am I also becoming a blaggardly apologist?

    Yes, inflation hits the poorest hardest, particularly relating to essentials such as food and energy costs.

    It's called growing up mate, most people just do it a bit earlier in life.

    You'll be going to BBQs next.

    Typical BBQers are just about bearable, BBQ hosts should be kicked off edges of cliffs.

    I bet the farm earlier on investing in Warnock rather than the team (£500 at 5-1 for a top half finish). I had planned on doing £100 at 40-1 for a top six finish at bet365 but they would only allow me a miserable tenner on it. Grr.

    You got 5-1 for a top half finish? Where did you get that?

    I fancy that myself.

    It'll mean more when for the same reasons wages start going up faster.
