Does this mean I should convert my savings into USD before things get worse?
You missed that boat. I did buy when it was $2.10 to the £

Flip the coin, the European banks use London as a gateway to the rest of the world, they need London as much as we need them as customers.
There's going to be movement but not anywhere near enough to take London from its financial perch.

At a somewhat heated family BBQ on Saturday, all the old folks (bar one) voted leave, and they all cited immigration, and for some a nebulous 'take back control', as their reasons for doing so.
I simply don't believe the "it wasn't about foreigners" nonsense.

Ironic as well, as tarring a group with one brush is pretty much bigotry in itself.
Lets fight bigotry with bigotry, phase cancellation and all that.

Why would they use London when it's not in the EU and has no ability to deal fully within the EU?
People really need to get a grip and stop blaming, claiming and complaining. It's done, the decision has been made, it's time to move on and work together and see it through. What will destroy us is all the in-fighting, not the exit itself.
What happened to the British stiff upper lip? From here it looks like it's hanging on the floor waiting to be trodden on.

calling skinheads who put up a racist poster idiots is bigotry? They hardly constitute a group of people to the point where you'd be bigoted to make a generalisation about them, there were about 5 of them!

It may have been asked already, but what does "taking back Britain" mean? Or "taking back our country"? A few of my friends have said this and I don't know what they mean.
I genuinely don't understand that expression in this context. If it has been answered I apologise, and if you can point me to the post I should be most grateful.
To ask the question means the answer would be one you would also claim to not understand.

How does leaving the EU help stem the tide of none EU migrants?
Never mind the fact that for the next 2+ years we are technically still in the EU

its doing well. hence the backlash and until article 50 is implement there's a chance we can right this capsizing ship.
although even if it is implemented it shouldn't be to bad for us, now its basically been confirmed we would just sign the single market. so we would be worse off but far better of that wont most leavers would want.
One should not ask for the potential to not understand the answer?

Two big negatives for me that come to light were the complete lack of interest of the younger generation. I know a lot did vote but a lot didn't, it's worrying for the future that these people refuse to take an interest in how the country is running. The only thing that matters to them is their fake tan and if they can still got out and get ridiculously drunk on the weekends. The second which someone else pointed out is that racism is still very much here. One phrase on my facebook was 'finally we can get rid of all the terrorists' I think this right wing 'hate the foreigners' will now die down now, and hopefully we can move on from it.
More proof remain people are smater than the leave 'lot' who leave their faces uncovered so they can be caught
We'll have a referendum again , Scotland will not leave they have been told no deal by the EU, Northern Ireland has gone quiet about the whole thing.
Germany stock market is crashing.
The UK referendum was carried now because of the elections happening over Europe.

quota of taking those non eu migrants - the EU will fine you if you don't take the amount they want

I don't understand the negativity surrounding the possibility of a "EU Army", what is it you don't like, why is it bad?
On the face of it it seems entirely reasonable and sensible IF it ever did happen with a resurging and more assertive Russia who out gun most of the Europeans combined, a rapidly growing power in the east and a growing threat in the Middle East. Seems like pooling your resources together among allies isn't all that bad surely?
Soldato
Please can we keep this civil, the "lot" you speak of is a minority. Some of us are happy to be productive in making sure the UK continues to progress with or without the EU. We lost, Leave won, I'd like to think many of us are moving on and not mocking the cause we campaigned for
Good post!
Gimme a cuddle

Except all the stuff we buy will cost more to import including those thing needed to service those tourists. It also makes our bad balance of Payments problem worse.
why not ask someone who actually used that phrase... to just throw it out there for interpretation as you did, out of context, will lead to different random guesses by people who perhaps haven't used the specific phrase in the first place

propaganda got you good it seems, this **** has been going on for years. Only now when it can be spun by the press do they start picking it up.
Its still the minority that are doing it, yes they are retarded, yes they should be punished but lets not get carried away and make this out to be some new thing people have to deal with and using Brexit as an excuse.
It wasn't me that asked, and it's a simple enough question that has been asked before and I was able to provide an answer on that basis.
