The association of Dunkirk with Brexit is in bad taste and misses the point that soon after we were back in Europe.

What a film!

You enjoyed it?

I loved it.

I'm going to see it this weekend.

Saw it last night - absolutely staggering, numbing. Highly recommended film.

And Jonathan's right, any attempt to associate it with Breixt, whether with a leaver or remainer spin, is totally tasteless and completely undervalues those who were caught up in the events of 1940.

The dollar is falling through the floor.

It's moved less than a cent - and it's giving back some of it already.

The YTD return is -8.5%

Exactly a year ago, the Pound was $1.31.

Today, it's....

.....

Wait for it!

...

$1.31!

LOL. You are now comparing the USD with GBP, the sickest currency which itself has dropped about 15% in the last year.

Okay, so a Euro was $1.12 a year ago, is now $1.16, so only a 3.5% change there too.
A Pound was €1.18 a year ago, and is now €1.10. Still not seeing 15% anywhere.

Rewriting history, are we ?

Nope, you're choosing a deliberately arbitrary date from more than a year ago, while I'm taking the YOY figures from XE

23rd June 16 was the referendum day, so surely the best baseline?

I note that GDP grew 0.1% Q1 and 0. 3% Q2. Presumably we willhave a major spurt to reach the 1.6% predicted for the year?

The economy has grown by 1.6% over the past year. Nothing to brag about, but nothing to despair over.

Most of this growth took place last year! Recession coming up.
