https://www.bbc.com/news/business-45113862 The pound has fallen below $1.29 for the first time in almost a year on continuing worries Britain will leave the EU without a trade deal.Sterling also hit a nine-month low against the euro, and was down against the yen and Swiss franc. Bank of England governor Mark Carney said on Friday the chances of a no-deal Brexit were "uncomfortably high".On Sunday, international trade secretary Liam Fox put the odds at "certainly not much more than 60-40". The falls come despite a rise in UK interest rates, which usually pushes up the value of sterling.Since the beginning of the month, the pound has fallen 1.7% against the dollar and 0.8% against the euro.

How soon until austerity measures get put up because they give up lmao
Waiting for Boilrig to explain why this is actually a good thing and tell me how to earn my money back
It's great because now I can loot the UK Amazon for cheap shit before they kick themselves out of EU.
Just waitin' for the day when Britian's own stupidity makes the Sterling worth 99 US Cents or less...
I'm waiting for when Poundland's inventory is worth more than the treasury.
It's actually fucking awesome shopping on Amazon now. Ireland doesn't have it's own Amazon, so we have to use UK one. Used to be that you had to convert currency, now it's pretty much the same.
lmao if that shit ever ended up happening, heads would roll in government. as if we aren't already a laughing stock of the world
Heh. I think the last time the Sterling was worth less than the Dollar the Dollar was still gold backed.
Even as Nigel Farage is crowned King on a throne built of the last baked bean cans in the country, they'll still refuse to admit they're an incompetent pile of fuck ups.
Mad Max Britain edition
That should make the time-honoured tradition of paying to get into the House of Lords a lot cheaper. Perhaps soon even I could afford to be a lord.
