Gold's up £190, circa 20%, an ounce since Brexit.
Carney, the ex Goldman Sachs shyster, and his MPC is responsible for driving the pound's value down from 1.32 against USD. The government can overrule them so it is to blame for the interest rate cut. And of course, most of the cost of filling up is Fuel Duty.
Are you suggesting that Brexit will not actually cost the average person in the UK anything?Quote:

Brexit makes things even worse as seems very likely.

Well thank goodness for that, I'm sure that will bring a great sense of comfort to those of us who have a stash of gold bullion stashed away under the sink.Quote:

We haven't even left yet ffs and we buy 99% of our oil from outside the EU.
And the oil we do consume within the EU is from the north sea?.
I doubt you'd have fun considering they don't work as much as us and there are less jobs.Quote:

Still, at least we won't have to let any more brown people in.
We import roughly £20bn a month more than we export.Quote:

Borrrrrrrringggggggggggggggg.
oil is sold in dollars, even in the UK markets. if the dollar appreciates, the price of oil, and all subsequent costs that are dependent on oil, will rise.Quote:

You're referring to the Breton Woods agreement that was signed by the allies in the aftermath of WW2.Quote:

Blame Mark Carney as well as the Brexit nobs. Nearly half of the fall was since he further reduced interest rates, despite the strongest growing economy in the developed world???!?? Its almost like he wants people to feel the pain to reassure himself a remain vote was better.
And try a different petrol station, my petrol has gone up 7p in a month!
Is it not the case though, that in order to stimulate the economy, interest rates need to be kept low?Quote:

Stimulate the strongest economy in the developed world? His brexit fears ruled that decision. Fears that were unfounded. Reducing rates was a decision that was not needed. The pound needed to fall, but his decision to unnecessarily reduce rates made it fall to levels that will hurt consumers.Quote:

That's why bankers hate gold and suppress its price. It provides a stable store of wealth which they cannot produce more of by running a printing press or electronically on a computer monitor.
Wow, going to Walt Disney World must've been as cheap as chipsQuote:

Yes as Camerclown once said " We're all in this together " and now thanks to him and twats like you we all are.
We'll all need sympathy before long as this disaster unfolds but thanks for yours.Quote:

Britain's Services, mostly finance related (people shuffling pieces of paper around) is the economy's biggest driver, along with flipping overpriced homes, aided by record low interest rates, and massive government, corporate and personal debt. The latter is the highest per head of population worldwide. All that to produce 0.5% growth.

If you can afford a holiday home in the south of France then you can afford to absorb a small rise in petrol prices.
Now stop snivelling like a girl and get on with it.
