TW Always like to lead the pack down ;)

If Boris gets a go - then Trump will get ago also..

God forbid either...

[steeplejack] 24/6/2016 14:39

Um....not so sure.Gove is a pretty smooth operator.Boris has charisma and personality.Its his essential character that I'm worried about.Thereagain,when was a sound character ever a prerequisite of being a politician.Probably a real drawback.

Steeplejack, he'll be moving to no 10 soon enough :-)

Osborne better pack his bags too, an utterly vile disgusting oik, who tried so hard to frighten people.

[jugears] 24/6/2016 14:26

Perhaps the french Ministers comments earlier in the week put a lot of peoples backs up , He certainly did mine.

[steeplejack] 24/6/2016 14:22

I agree with you there gbh2.Cameron was saying 6 months ago how we could thrive outside the EU and recently he was painting a picture of doom and gloom.Erratic behaviour.The real culprit was Corbyn if one wishes to apportion blame for the failure of the remain campaign.His heart simply wasn't in it and the Labour Party historically has been more pro Europe than any other UK party.His head will roll.Dear old Boris got a fearful barracking from neighbours in his borough this morning as he got into his car,a borough that voted 70% to remain.Maybe he should move to Wisbech.

Perhaps if the uk government had cut benefits after the first baby More people would have to work in this country & our dependance would have been less on using imigrants (that do want to work & very hard IMHO)The big problem with the uk government is that they don't stand up for them selves & then they get pushed around & the british public are fed up with it, I personnally think the Eu were calling our bluff & this has now back fired, What happens now I don't now, but perhaps the whole of the EU should Finnish & a new one started that is more of a cooperative than a dictatorship which it has been, Different countries with different cultures were never going to mix & agree. & IMHO we are leaving something that is already finnished & Why should this make a difference to our economy has anything & will anything really Change,There are whole new export markets out there that we have not been allowed to tap into whilst being in the EU. May be now we really can call or selves GREAT BRITAIN & regain some of our manufacturing facilities instead of of being the world bank & warehouse, We manufactured good products that lasted now we purchase cheap poor quality from abroad that lasts minutes, I own machinery that is 60 years old still accurate & going Strong( All Made in the uk most of my new machines don't last 5 years before they need replacing (all none british) & these are not cheap to purchase

Director taking advantage of today's fall...

Notification of Transaction of Director -

[gbh2] 24/6/2016 14:10

imo it was primarily the fact that Cameron & his cronies were & are completely out of touch with the vast majority of voters in this country!

[cromw3ll] 24/6/2016 14:04

Depressed?

I am ecstatic.

As for Scotland, they all voted remain to stop Sturgeon calling referedum. If she calls one they will vote to stay again, even bigger majority.

The future is bright...only the shortsighted & selfish think otherwise.

[steeplejack] 24/6/2016 14:00

Despite calls for unity we are a nation divided.Justifiably,Scotland will seek a new referendum toquit the UK.Northern Ireland will also feel aggrieved at having to leave.London with 60% voting remain will be disappointed overall.In my borough,70% voted to remain on an 82% turn out.Frankly,I feel depressed by this decision because I suspect that it was primarily the issue of immigration that ultimately saw Brexit win.That makes me feel very uncomfortable.It will make friends and colleagues in my borough uncomfortable and that's bad for business.We are a consumer led economy,if people feel uncomfortable they pull in their horns and don't spend.We've seen this in recent months.Now,it's set to continue.The Brexits have no economic agenda.They don't have a strategy.We're all at sea.I repeat the statement of the FT today,this is a "perilous" time to invest in the UK.

[baracuda2] 24/6/2016 13:35

jugears" you are the man to take over number ten, you seem to know whats going on

[rogerbridge] 24/6/2016 13:25

Bought some earlier for the long term

[martyn9] 24/6/2016 13:24

IMO other EU countries will now want a referendum spain,italy,austria,etc etc.I can see the whole corrupt club falling apart and good bloody riddens.

[jugears] 24/6/2016 13:10

Anyone buying today will see a very healthy return in the next few months, The markets have in typical & now predictable stile over reacted,personally I think we will be much better of out of the Eu, Don't forget that the Uk still manufacture some of the best products in the world, Quality that lasts not Cheap but good & there will still be a market for these. The Eu is out of date, Out of touch & very very badly ran & is due for a long needed overhall, perhaps if they & the politicians Hadn't tried to scare us in to not leaving & instead addressed the real issues We may still be part of the EU. Perhaps they were trying to call our bluff, If they were its back fired. The uk is a very important member of the EU (even though I am all for Leaving) & IMHO over the next few weeks I wouldn't be suprised If they tried to offer us a better deal to stay in although I think that long term we have made the right decision.

House prices have gone up & down ever since house buying became popular and I'll be looking for opportunities because in the end the house prices will always end up rising.

[steeplejack] 24/6/2016 11:56

I didn't say their was a property shortage,I said we didn't have enough houses.You remind me of Brian Beazer who I was chatting to a couple of decades back.He said there was no shortage of sites to build on in the UK but that benign observation hasn't stopped house prices rocketing over the last twenty five years especially in those metropolitan areas where people want to live.Anyway,we won't leave the EU for a number of years and who knows where we'll be by 2020.Overseas investors like to invest in hard currency areas.That makes investing in the uk perilous as the FT writes today.what price will we pay to attract investment income to bridge our huge deficits.I respect the vote to Brexit but it's a very brave decision and could be economically reckless and foolhardy.Thereagain,I'm almost more concerned about the consequences for the rest of the EU.

[taffee] 24/6/2016 11:44

steeplejack...there is no shortage of property in the uk its just in the wrong hands...there is a supply shortage on the market at any one time because of various hmg props and interventions...also only 6% of uk is built on....no this is A CREDIT BUBBLE which like all bubbles will burst

[taffee] 24/6/2016 11:41

what a bear payday today...just goes to show anything can and will happen in the stockmarket.

guess bears will now look for any sign of poor trading /houseprice falls before any big commitments.

question: now Cameron and possibly Osborne on way out...is help to buy guaranteed or subject to change?...is 2020 set in stone for this crazy policy

[steeplejack] 24/6/2016 11:25

Extraordinary that the market should get so wrong footed.Overseas earners have the benefit of weak sterling which is a mitigating factor.The domestics are the ones taking a real hammering.Institutions are likely to conclude that sterling will remain under pressure and prospectively shift their portfolios to overseas earners.I'm not surprised that the housebuilders have taken such a hit today but long term it doesn't really make sense.We've got a housing shortage and less we forget over half of immigrants come from outside the EU.I guess the assumption is that we'll rein in immigration from that quarter as well.What a cosy little introspective English nation we'll become.Of course,in time I guess,housebuilders might suffer a skills shortage.Also,land bank valuations might be downwardly revised as property values,especially in London,take a fall.The Bank of England must be actively supporting sterling today and with good cause.

[battue2] 24/6/2016 11:21

JUGEARS, have you ever heard of the saying "be careful what you wish for " ????

[clarky5150] 24/6/2016 09:39

Trichet has just been on Bloomberg stating it will be a difficult split. When I hear his smarmy voice I am almost glad we have packed our bags.

[clarky5150] 24/6/2016 09:37

Fuse coming off a little again now. Still think the market as a whole is getting away lightly on what was a completely incorrect prediction...lets hope we can hold and build from here.

[rogerbridge] 24/6/2016 09:15

I have been trying to buy online with HL, their system is bloody useless
