Talking of Germans and ****, it seems the true nature of how badly they f**ked up seems to be

dawning on them at last. I was particularly struck by the fact that 400,000 migrants didn't register for asylum and so no-one knows where they are or where they're from. :yikes:

Did Merkel have some sort of mental episode?

[Berni]

great it was that they were doing this and why wasn't Britain doing more, etc, etc.

Why is it then, that Pound Sterling is plummeting down like a Hamburg rent boy's lederhosen against the Euro?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Unlikely, I'd have thought.

The pound is weakening because markets hate uncertainty above all else, so money is seeking a short-term safer haven until after the EU referendum.

As for safe havens, a currency underpinned by a nation that has recently ingested half a million fifth columnist hostiles, is a safer bet than sterling? You're spouting the same ill-informed *******s I get in my inbox from a dozen FX traders every week.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Ours may, who knows? And if your FX traders knew one tiny bit better than anyone else what will happen, they'd be f**king minted sitting ona beach in the Caribbean, not sending ****ty emails to plumbers.

Yes, yes, I know. Micturation. Vessel. Identical.
