GBP/USD is well below its pre-Brexit 31 year low. EUR/USD is only in 14 year low territory.

I'm genuinely not a troll.
My posts may not be to everyone's taste or narrative but I do not set out to troll or to come across as a troll.

And? It's still decreased. But the OP won't admit that.

Yes you are. You're anti British and you just do it to wind people up. You have had the cheek to insist that present day Britain owes Ireland money for what happened in a Ireland too.

When I google worst 2016 global currencies, below is what I keep getting.
British Sterling.
Argentine Peso.
Nigerian Naira.
Egyptian Pound.
Venezuelan Bolivar.

Still no Eur/usd rate I see?

Really? Care to back that up? I think you may be mixing me up with another Irish poster?

On your point though, I will tell you where I stand.
If there was to be a united Ireland, Britain should agree to part fund the north of Ireland for a set number of years with the funding dropping incrementally by an amount each year until the agreement fulfilled.

Was just answering what I thought was the point of your comment. But yep, both have performed poorly as Brexit will weaken the EU as well as us and even though it hasn't even started yet, the markets always look ahead..

...because it is a braindead economic delusion which keeps on failing to recognise that the largest part of British trade is done with other European countries and that the UK has been economically intertwined with those other EU states for the past four decades.

Sparkly new trade deals with Bhutan, Mongolia and Vietnam will not make up for all the lost business with Europe and it's quite clear now that Trump's "America First" administration intends to shaft Brexit UK and encourage businesses to relocate to the USA as very recently revealed by The Times.

Err wrong. More exports are sent to the rest of the world, then the world's only declining trading block. 56/44%.

The anti-British rhetoric comes from the Brexiters like Farage and his ilk.
Devaluing sterling is bad for Britain.
Making British business targets for buy-outs by the US, China, Germany & Japan is bad for Britain.
Cutting ties with our main trading nations is bad for Britain.
Cutting ties with our allies during an unstable political period is bad for Britain.
Destroying British jobs is bad for business.

Currencies fluctuate in trading ranges through daily interactions.
If there's a seismic change in conditions, the currency will fall into a new, lower trading range.

You have zero grasp of economics with your last comment. The pound went to €1.03 a few years ago and back up to €1.45 a few years later. So you're talking nonsense. We're not cutting ties with our main trading nations. We are escaping the folly of political union with these trading nations. But you carry on enjoying being melodramatic.

I disagree, the day a UI handover takes place is the day the funding will stop.

No, this is yet more deception and denial from you. The EU is the UK's largest trading partner and that situation will not change any time soon.

The more that Leave voters continue to resort to outright falsehood and deception, the it destroys their already feeble case.

It's our largest single export partner but it's not where most of our exports go to. 56% of our exports go to the rest of the world. And that figure is growing each year. While the EU figure declines How is that deception?

Up and down, in and out, shake it all about'! Trouble is we're doing the Oki Koki with our currency, country and future. All based on a mess of lies and bigotry. Nothing to be proud about.

A major purpose of ireland2day's is to show us how well Ireland is doing. If he knew just how many of the Irish don't like what is and has gone on in the name of EU membership or that there's more to come.

Actually it is about global currencies against the US Dollar that is where your figures come from..

More like, "The train is departing, all aboard, enjoy the journey".

Nobody is addressing this story from the Telegraph earlier today warning of a rocky road for sterling in 2017 with the proposed triggering of article 50.

And are you going to ignore the fact that the more people and the media speculate and run down the worse they can make things ?

The government is doing a fine job of that all by itself, telling us about how "Brexit means Brexit" and how it's now a "red, white and blue Brexit", how they "don't need to give us a running commentary" and even attempting to deny Parliament from having a say.

The media is speculating because the government doesn't want to tell us the plan. Probably because they don't have one. The pound dropped immediately after the result without the need of the press.

It's awfully rich to complain about media speculation today, given that the papers have spent decades spreading utter bollox about the EU - so much so that the EU has its own website dedicated to refuting and explaining why the UK papers have got something totally wrong.

In 1969 I persistently argued the case for a united Ireland, including a rewarded repatriation of those, mainly Protestants, who didn't want to stay and that any repatriation would have a timescale of five years. But funding NI on a timescale .....never.

If they were that good at looking ahead, how comes they've been caught so often?
