Let's keep this thread on subject and not meander off into another non footy political thread please folks.

For those of you who don't know how currency markets work I'll explain exactly how I see this panning out and what Johnson's puppet masters (the likes of Crispin Odey) are banking on happening;

I'll base the figures on £100m as this is the kind of money that they'll be gambling with (probably more in truth).

GBP/USD is currently at 1.28 which means that £1 buys $1.28. So currently £100m = $128m

If Johnson gets a majority the GBP/USD exchange is expected to rise to 1.35-1.45. I'll base it on 1.35 to be conservative. So in that instance the likes of Odey (oh and also Jacob Rees-Mogg) will sell £100m and receive $135m.

Here comes the interesting (and infuriating part) and why honest Nige claims he's dropped his opposition to Johnson's deal. The transition period won't be extended beyond December 2020 according to Johnson, so all it's doing is delaying our crash out on WTO terms by a year because there is absolutely no way on earth that we can negotiate a free trade arrangement in a year. On average it takes 3-7years. the forecast GBP/USD exchange for this kind of crash out on WTO terms is 1.12.

So on January 1st 2021, the currency crashes, these grifters sell their dollars. They have $135m which they purcahsed on December 13th 2019, they then sell them at 1.12 which leaves them with £120.5m making them a tidy £20.5m profit on their initial £100m while the rest of us are left with a destroyed economy in a net importing economy and ultimately become much, much poorer because, no matter what Liz Truss tells us, we're not able to be self sufficient! Look at us, we're a tiny island with a large population, it's obvious.

I don't know who's car it was though.

Typical busybody MOD. Spoiling a good discussion. The sort of person that takes  part in Neighbourhood watch I reckon.  .

Quoted from Rik e B

I'm ever so sorry to continue this charade, but the wise sage Maringer thinks we can just print more money and never have any problems. Nonsense. Inflation would rise, everything costs more, square one.

See Zimbabwe.

Hence why governments borrow money from banks and prefer to pay back with interest.

Your long posts seem so well informed but there's usually a fundamental flaw (see above). Let's print 100 trillion sterling and make ourselves the richest country on the planet. Oh sh!t a packet on nobbys nuts now costs me £27.60, I can't afford to eat or pay my bills.

Im sure you've got some sort of magical comeback but can we all just agree to disagree in this particular zone of the Fishy for now? At the end of the day opposite views are entrenched and won't be swayed hence I don't waste much time over on non-footy banging my head against a brick wall while the aggrieved vocal minority witter on and on.

I could bang on about how loads of Establishment Remainer's stand to continue having their pockets lined by the EU if we Remain, I'm sure it's far more than any Eurosceptics dastardly plans to crash the pound and quickly cash in. Never mind the fact they likely life long Eurosceptics, probably from way before they had such funds to do so. But again, let's just leave it eh?

Anyway, any more scoop on rich business folk been seen of by Fents and Co. with bundles of plaggy binders?

I know it excites the tastebuds cooing over any potential takeover bid and makes for some great time passing chatting away about it bug in a way I'd kinda like it to actually be kept in the dark then *boom* there you go one day (hopefully!) instead of the deflated feeling of it not happening.

But sod it no I'm nosey I wanna know what's going on always 😂

What concerns me is that everyone posting on here would I hope call out any racist at BP on match
day, but some would vote for Mr Johnson who has made racist comments. The comments not just by the spoken word but the written word for all to see.

" I can't afford to eat or pay my bills" Isn't that the case for millions under the Tories today?
