Either way, I really don't give a flying f*** anymore.

Just get on with it, there's always going to be people pissed off whatever happens. The rest of us just get on with it.

The pound is the buy of the century. Well it was a couple of months ago anyway. Now, it's still amazingly cheap against the Euro and the Dollar.

Brexit is going to be a huge success despite the incessant wails of people that can't imagine how we can cope in the big world without being cocooned inside a self-serving protectionist bloc that is on its last legs

And if you say it out loud three times and click your red stilettos together while looking in the mirror and thinking of Candyman - it will all come true exactly as you wish!

I'm more worried about the impact on the pound should Corbyn become PM :eek: than I am about Brexit's impact on the currency.

Based on what's being said at the Labour conference, if that guy and his crew get into office, we could be in for a disastrous few years that would make this Brexit negotiation sideshow look like a mild disagreement at a tea party.

But they're going to buy back all the PFIs. Then everything will be fine.

Might have something to do with Corbyn admitting there'd be a run on the pound and he has contingency plans in case that happens - probably print more worthless currency and become the next Venezuela or Rhodesia (as was).

Lol, i worked in the nhs, those pfi contracts would bankrupt the country to buy back, they had lives of minimum 25, up to 100 years... They havent a clue, nice that even their finance guy actually talks about the fallout of a jeremy win.

Good PFI contracts are a fantastic tool to give people what they want / need almost immediately with reasonable cost implications.

Bad PFI contracts are just a tool to make the government pay times over for nothing.

Sadly, they give the people of that area what they need, whether BSF schooling or a new hospital, but they're so easily made unpopular and shit in the press and political world that they're unlikely to exist in the future. Until of course they return as IFP or FIP to do the same.

I would move back to specifically for this job... there's great money to be made in unwinding the contracts I helped write in the first place. :lol:

Not under Comrade Corbyn.

You are going to be lined up with the rest of the bankers and shot. I'd stay out of the UK awhile.

Not to be an echo but can you imagine the SPVs that will be created to do it? :blink:

Nah. I'm one of the good guys. He would love my track record in working with socialist governments and screwing the private sector.
