@Uncfred it went wrong for the UK the minute the other nations agreed the Maastricht deal on a single currency back in '92.

Overnight 18 comparable currencies disintegrated so we had nothing to measure the success of the Pound by !

@Picklebobble2 I think that whatever the outcome (If ever there is an outcome), it wont benefit the "man in the street". The pound related to the UK can only shrink as it has done over the past few years.

@Uncfred We're in the grip of a recession that no government is talking about. Borrowing is at it's lowest for a generation. Mr.Trump's 'business giveaway' may have repercussions worldwide in terms of trade and slow jobs growth as a result.

France and Germany are trying to 'faction' the E:U members into 'haves' and 'have nots' and if the downward trend continues i wouldn't be surprised if they call 'time' on E:U 1 and try and create E:U 2 only with countries of their choosing !
