Because you have no answer...or you have an answer but you are ashamed of giving it. :
I had you down as much better than that., oh well.

Off to France next week camping, many are trading down this year, fast becoming the poor man of Europe
It is the acceptance that our currently is falling to pieces that makes me so scared about this whole thing. Many people don't get what it means in the longer term. Link this to inflation far outstripping wage increases and you can see what happens. Staggered so many don't get it. Imports will cost more and unless we bend over a barrel for the EU the exports which in theory benefit from weak currency won't have anywhere to go. I don't get why people are so chilled out about this and think that talking positively about it will magic something upon us.

This has been happening since the banking crash. Most are used to it. Like most things they run in cycles so what goes around comes back. By the way the pound dropped much lower against the dollar 1.16 or lower and now it's back at 1.30 so not as bad as you paint it

Speaks volumes that you treat it so flippantly, it actually is quite a watershed moment in financial circles. But you carry on with your see/hear/speak no evil routine.

Our currency is essentially the nations shareprice, the 20 percent decline says a lot about how investors view the U.K. right now
The three or four vocal Brexiteers on this thread were saying everything was fine a month ago, Project Fear etc etc. It is very noticeable and it speaks volumes that they're now saying "this is just cyclical".
Even they know this is a disaster.
Although it is the first time it has happened AT THE SAME TIME which is the key point here. Yes the dollar crashed but this is us losing to both the dollar and the euro. This suggests a slightly bigger issue doesn't it? Or was the crash after the vote (which is now apparently ignored) just part of a cycle?
And you stated on another thread you prefer mushrooms to black pudding, really. I'm sorry but you have no credibility whatsoever.

A comment like that shows that you have only a perfunctory grasp of currencies and share prices, what they are, who controls them and how they fluctuate. .
A share price is nothing at all like a currency. If it were then the FTSE would also have devalued similarly but it hasn't. Currencies have hundreds of valuations, one for each currency against which it is being measured. A share price is absolute against the currency of its stock exchange. Share prices tend to grow as a company grows. Currency prices do not generally increase in time but fluctuate between points.
You have shown that you do not understand macroeconomics.

I find it fairly telling that all the toing and froing on here is about economics. I have always felt that there is far, far more to the European question than economics and trade.
There was a very good article in the Observer on Sunday by David Miliband. He called for a second vote, so a lot of people would dismiss it out of hand anyway, but he also sees it as far more than an economic bloc...... which is precisely what plenty of people on here don't want, I guess. In the article he says:
In an attempt to broaden the debate, Miliband made an impassioned plea for the EU to be seen as more than an economic bloc.
“The EU is not just a group of neighbouring countries. It is a coalition of democratic states which pledge to advance human rights, the rule of law and democratic rules. That is not a threat to Britain; it is the team we should be on.”
If anyone can be bothered to read it, the link is here. It just about sums up my position perfectly.

It's a hopeful article. I think it's bizarre that Leave voters thought that remainers both in power and the general public would just sit back and let them destroy the UK.
Can I have mushrooms AND black pudding please? And a fried egg, 2 Lincolnshire sausages, some crisp smoked back bacon, perhaps a grilled tomato, baked beans and hash browns. I think it's time for breakfast........
Thankfully you have many other fine and varied attributes; so I'll overlook this indiscretion
