Hmm... I'm not an economist - not past A-Level anyway - but I've an inkling it's not all to do with Brexit.

Worldwide investors are retreating to sure bet currencies.

So Deutch Mark & Dollar.

A Service economy & importing everything .. well it's pretty stupid isn't it ?

HMG had DECADES of opportunity to stop the decline, even when the public said enough was enough with Brexit they STILL resisted.

WTF is "Global Britain" ? that ain't gonna work either.

I doubt whether the message has sunk in yet in London .. I don't expect other countries to honour their debts in this crysis .. and I don't expect situation normal to come about for potentially years.

It's now called the Euro-Mark or Reichs-Euro don't you know - anyway, regardless of its name, there won't be any left soon, the French are spending it faster than the Germans can earn it...

Until a vaccine becomes available the world will be in extreme turmoil...........people are scared, and fear for ones life is a primal emotion.
If you have some cash and can judge the market bottom good fortune awaits.............but not in the museum that is Europe for I fear that dream is over.

US government is thrashing out a 500 billion dollar plan to give money to families directly as well as unleashing a 1 trillion dollar plan to support the economy. Fair play.

What do you plan to use yours for just out of interest?

What a ridiculous question, clearly, in the circumstances one spends it all on whisky, coke and hookers!

Best investment you can make now is a deep rain proof wheelbarrow for carrying your inflated cash around in.
Oh, sorry, forgot, doesn't need to be rain proof as the new notes are plastic.
