    Glad we've waited to book our holiday http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37951059

    For the first time in five weeks sterling is worth $1.26, having sunk as low as $1.21 a month ago. That is a rise of about 4%.
    Against the euro, the pound has risen by more than 6% over the same period, up from €1.09 to €1.16.

    I've been struggling to sum up what I am observing in the popular mood at the moment.
    This guy nails it. Sure, its a put up job, but the articulation of the situation is spot on.

    This goes equally for Brexit camps as it does for US.

    I agree Wheeze. He talks about the left and I would suggest it's all mainstream politicians as anyone outside of that centre ground is extreme, barmy, bigoted, nasty, fascist, marxist.....
    The idea of left and right is a little blurred.

    I also know, from postings on this forum and facebook, that there are dozens of people out there reading quietly, who dare not post for fear of being attacked.
    So it is left to us few with thicker skins to have a go.

    I won't continue the 'debate' Richard (I won that ages ago ) but just scoot back through the posts on here - the forum on the whole is clearly somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun. I thought I made some interesting points but I can't see anybody else obviously supporting me unless support is saying nothing . On the other hand quite a few of you brexiteers challenged me.

    As for the guy in that video, he shouts and swears and makes no points at all. In a nutshell he argues that people should have 'reasoned' with those with right wing views. The whole point both here and in the US is that those supporting the right totally ignored 'reason'

    Oh Stolly

    If you are feeling unloved then please allow me to say that I always find your posts to be of interest; and I enjoy even more correcting your flawed thinking.

    And since I am in an altruistic and magnanimous mood at the moment, may I enquire if there is any particular subject on which you currently feel the need for enlightenment?

    Yours in support and helpfulness.

    Great effort!

    8/10 for trolling/direct piss taking, would have been higher but I have a preference for subtlety. Excellent finishing line!

    I've always found Jonathan Pie to be a bit of a twonk tbh. Although there does seem to be a solid market for jusy shouting opinions at the internet!

    Ahem!
    The woolly one (shaunyshaun) and I do our bit. It might only be, taking the pish out of the Hate Mail readers and the Far/alt right.

    Like First world war generals, we are right behind you Stolly. Maybe 50 or 60 miles behind but it's the thought that counts
