  1. And I'm "qualified to know" about Sterling against the Euro! If Clinton had won you'd be significantly worse off now. BTW the first of the Italian banks has just gone bust, shareholders have been totally wiped out, and as part of the rescue bondholders are having to take a huge haircut. As most of those bondholders are average small savers sheltering their life savings (they won't take the risk of investing in the stock markets as they hate the thought of any loss of capital) it's a crushing blow, and bondholders in other banks are now going to panic. (More) Civil unrest is likely. The equivalence here in the UK is building society deposits being raided! Unfortunately - amongst his other major blunders - Dodgy Dave tied us in to the the EFSM, so we will be tapped as Eurozone finances inevitably get worse. It's entirely conceivable that with the Greek nonsense blowing up again too Sterling will be worth more than pre-Brexit value very soon. Maybe some of the rise in the value of Sterling will be moderated by Dave's blunder, and we won't have to pay out too much in support - we must hope! May needs to detach us from the EZ a lot faster than she's now doing!
