OZinPattaya Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) This is still an issue? Maybe you Brits should start worrying and commenting on your own country rather pretending to be experts on Yankeeland and Thailand. One thing Brexit amply demonstrates is the complete inability of Britain to come to any sort of resolve, to do anything meaningful, aside from endlessly bickering among themselves. And meanwhile the tax-paying Brit does nothing, says nothing, demands nothing. Much easier to bitch endlessly about Thai Immigration.

I think they said the deal was "Oven Ready". 63% of the UK population did not vote for Brexit. Many of the 17% that did are now regretting voting for it based on the lies put forward by Farage, Johnson and Cummings. Many of the Brits resident in Spain and France etc, who vote to leave, are now losing their health cover and their pensions are being frozen the same as we have living in Thailand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with the wider picture being discussed in the current debate. You are correct that a weak currency does have some benefits though.

I don’t have any of my emotional worth invested in how my base currency is doing, unlike some others here. Nor am i actively voting against my own economic interest, just so I can clutch a useless blue passport. Ed: as for the article, thanks for sharing something you’d learn in year 10 economics. Riveting. What the article doesn’t say is that the AUDs long term average has been around where it is now. For the UK, well is been downhill for a while which reflects poorly on your economy. And what year 11 economics tells you is that you don’t devalue your way to prosperity. Edited June 29, 2020 by samran 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
