It struck me as a slightly odd complaint. Throw a dart at a map and there will be a story about varying degrees of US interference causing death and disruption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Quote British pound becoming an emerging market currency, says BofA analyst Brexit has permanently altered investors’ views on sterling, warns strategist The pound is now an emerging-market currency in all but name, according to analysts at Bank of America (BofA), who say that Brexit has turned it into a mirror of the “small and shrinking” UK economy. In the four years since the UK voted to leave the EU, trading conditions in the pound and the big swings in exchange rates make it a better match with the Mexican peso than the US dollar, said Kamal Sharma, a currency analyst at BofA. He said that movements in the currency since the June 2016 Brexit vote have become “neurotic at best, unfathomable at worst”. Global Britain, innit.

andym Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Opening line is a corker - 'it is possible you may have heard of us' Thought it was written by that Mark Francois parody account at first. In fact they would probably write a less ridiculous letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty clear the intended audience for this letter all live in Rayleigh and Wickford. It wouldn’t surprise me if Barnier didn’t actually get sent a copy himself! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
