You really do sound like the Daily Mail
It fell further due to idiotic individual investors panicking as they always do. And the certainty of uncertainty. And because most of the city was optimistically hoping for a Conservative victory and didn't get it.
The country is a mess and it just isn't going to get better for ages. Very depressing.

Same here: sell house in Sydney, move cash to the UK for 6 months, hope that currency rates improve and house prices crash in Oz simultaneously, then move money back and buy el mansione!

I have faith and so shifted some money from Kuwait to my Euro ac because of the relative positions of those currencies with Sterling.
I just wish that Malibu Ken would come to our rescue and save the world.
