I'm beginning to like our new PM.  She's only been in the job a few hours and she's already got rid of DECC and set up the holy Brexit Trinity of Davies, Fox, and Boris, as well as sacking Osbourne and Gove...a decent start  :police:

Too much like Thatcher for my liking, but let's give her a chance, she is making all the right noises. ;D

Well after all the doom and gloom of Brexit yesterday's FT index finished on an eleven month high.  Explain that ???

Because 'Helicopter Money' is coming.

Do I get any? ;)

Talking to a shrewd old business man ( true blue ) before the vote.  He told me that even if the brexit vote wins, we will still be in the EU.  He said we will go back renegotiate and a new deal put to the people. >:(

For those of you who like a conspiracy theory....this is a biggy!

Kalergi theory
Makes the Kennedy one look like child's play
Throw in the fact we are being sprayed by planes. ...we're doomed (this is another conspiracy theory)

I love a good conspiracy theory :dan

From another prospective, these are interesting facts.

What happened yesterday was the people of Britain saying enough is enough, not just pensioners as you are inferring.

You have always been an arrogant little s**t and that last statement proves that.

Are you still at uni ?  If so, join the real world.

Sorry Ken, remove if you want, but that statement was out of order.

No, you are out of order. Abusing someone because of their opinion - and saying "If so, join the real world"? Saying sorry doesn't excuse it.

The biggest age group to vote OUT, was those 65+.

WOW, how dare you take my post out of context.  It was the statement concerning the old age pension, and you know it was.

As I said, I do not receive a state pension.  But to wish for it to be cut is out of order.  These people have worked all their life and PAID into a fund to ensure they have something to live on when they retire.

I was out of order calling Adam and I will remove it.  But it does not change my opinion on the pension issue.

It is like going to a bank and wanting to withdraw your own money.  Only to be told sorry, but you can have some of it we are keeping the rest.  The state pension is a RIGHT, and not a gift by the government.

Boris seemed strangely subdued at the Vote Leave press conference earlier. It's almost as if he didn't actually expect Brexit to happen and only chose to campaign for it for the sake of him becoming PM one day. Perhaps October, with the UK on the edge of breaking up and the economy paralysed by uncertainty is not exactly what he had in mind...

Also, we're probably going to need to make some cuts. I damn well hope they start with the state pension.

The debate on this board  has been going on for several weeks.  And that last statement is the most offensive I have seen.

First, let me state I do not receive a state pension.  But those that do, have PAID into the pension system, it is their right.

Also some collecting the pension fought for the right for you to speak freely.

What happened yesterday was the people of Britain saying enough is enough, not just pensioners as you are inferring.

I'm disappointed, I think we've made a huge mistake to be honest. However, I can't argue with the result, the British public have made their choice. I guess now it's time to see whether everything the leave side told us is true.

I'm certainly very much looking forward to the NHS remaining nationalised and benefiting from a £350m per week cash injection it has been promised by Leave. I assume it's true because it was plastered all over the side of our prime minister in waiting's bus.

Come on Maxross, you are one of the more intelligent posters on here.

Where was £350 million promised to the NHS?

The quote was " we send the EU £350 million per week, let's fund the NHS instead "

What it was saying was £350 million ( disputed figure ) would be better spent on the NHS.

That is how I read it. ;)

28% of laws passed in OUR parliament last year was thrown out by the non elected EU, how can that be democracy?

Er, House of Lords anyone?

When was the last time you voted any of that lot in?

True Pete, the sooner they go the better.  I never said what we had was perfect.

And, shock horror, and as predicted by everyone who ticked "stay", the SNP have just announced they have begun the legislative process of a second independence referendum for Scotland, in which the Scottish people will emphatically choose to depart the union and remain a part of the EU.

Which, as I said earlier in this very thread, quite apart from being damaging economically, will necessitate an actual land border between Scotland and England and associated passport controls. Think about that for a moment.

Woo! We've got our country back! Well, bits of it anyway.

Let them go.

I have been to Scotland and have never met a more racist lot ( against the English ).

As I said in an earlier post the only yellow ( remain ) on the map last night was London and Scotland.

Just after 10:30am

The FTSE100 is higher than this time last Friday.
The EUR/GBP is roughly where it was last Wednesday.
The GBP/USD is roughly where it was last Wednesday.

Both metals are up a little in $ & £ terms.

No big shakes...Looks like the remain campaign could HAVE been using scaremongering tactics.

That's because at these times last week leave was ahead in the polls - so the markets crashed then, as well. They recovered back to normal levels through the day yesterday when the expectation was of sanity prevailing. Make no mistake, the crash today is the Brexit effect. Our economy is going to be permanently smaller and weaker - and moreover the process of getting there is going to be very ugly.

The market crash is due mainly to the EU being weaker when the UK leaves.

The net millions pumped into the EU by Britain each year will leave a big shortfall.

We will negotiate an exit agreement but they will bully us.  That is the only way the EU knows how to operate.

We have given power back to people we have voted for, not to corrupt Eurocrats.

Yes it is going to be hard in the short term, but the EU is a broken organisation and we will be better out of it.

It's being reported that this is the worst anyone's seen Sterling since the Russia game.

Never mind that Qwerty, how are gold and silver prices?
