LONDON, Oct 13 (Reuters) - A legal bid to force the British government to seek parliamentary approval before starting the formal process of leaving the European Union began on Thursday, with ministers calling it an anti-democratic tactic to delay Brexit.

That should be good for another few pips.

no major change on the currency for a couple of weeks. I would imagine a Hilary win is fully priced in. If Trump wins we may see a drop in the USD - and an apparent strengthening of the pound.

I think the fact it has stayed at its 30-35 year lows points to going further down. 1.15 for sure. 1.10 maybe. £-$ parity not beyond the realms of posibility

What will super Thursday bring?

I'm more worried about the US election - could be a weakening of the US$

Could be permanent. We may never see 1.5 again in our lifetimes.

The £ used to trade at 2.5 USD and before the war it was 5 USD.

The UK will adjust to the new norm. No one remembers the 2.5 USD.

1980 - 2.4
1985 - 1.1
1992 - 2.0
1993 - 1.4
2008 - 2.1
2009 - 1.4
2014 - 1.7
2017 - 1.2

worry about the GBP when it's at 1.8+, not when its at 1.2

Yep, TM didn't come out with any nasty surprises. But more to do with Trump mouthing off that the strong dollar was hurting US economy

Just shows what the "Professionals" know eh.

Probably liberal lefties, well (Scamp and Meow I mean you two in particular), the Populous has had enough of your integration, world economy bollocks, we've had enough of your integration, we've had enough of losing our (And I don't just mean the UK's) morals being decimated, we've had enough of the fact that a guy who told a pro-remainer on twitter that she should be shot was jailed, and yet another that told a pro brexit she needed to be "raped with a machete" went unpunished, we've had enough of the ghettos, the political correctness.

Your experiment has failed, and failed big time. Get used to it and Shut The ***** Up.

The fact you think I'm a liberal lefty shows just what a ****ing idiot you are.

So, other than that (LL) comment, you agree with me then?
