    Re: Brexit - Should I stay or should I go??

    Is there a strong Welsh identity movement the way there is Irish and Scots? I always think of the Welsh as what if Native Americans retreated into the Rockies and told the whites "don't bother us and we won't bother you."

    Edit: all hail Wikipedia.

    Or if you prefer.

Polls now have that number as high as 62% (77% among 18-24) so Northern Ireland is gone. However, because of the statutory eight year period between referenda, the Nationalists don't want to pull the trigger early and then be stuck for a decade if they fail.

      W(h)ales independence was similarly polling in the teens but now is up to 36% (from 27% in 2017) with 17% undecided.
      Out of curiosity, what are the numbers for Scotland?

        Under 50% last time they checked...

        I suspect with Brexit that number is now comfortably in the 60s.

            Holy ****. Under a buck and a quarter? Jeebus.

            Edit: yeah, holy crap. That headline is deceiving. While technically correct, the best kind, they are flirting with over 30-year lows. The chart I looked up only went to 1994 and it was nowhere near 1.21. It bounced off that value in late 2016, but if it drops below 1.10 that would be unheard of in my lifetime I have to think.

            Edit 2: almost.
            “The last low for sterling was $1.2049, reached in January 2017. The record low was $1.0545 from March 1985, just before G7 powers acted to constrain a particularly strong US currency”

              The vote in 2014 was 55-45 against. Since the 2016 Brexit decision, 25 polls have been conducted; 17 against independence, seven for and one was a statistical tie. Most experts thought Nicola Sturgeon's second referendum would fail but Boris Johnson makes that happenstance more likely. I am hoping it happens! Under Scottish law I'm a citizen so I can move there, but I'm not eager to return while it's still part of the UK (especially with Brexit)

                I went on a high school band trip in 2003/NY 2004, and IIRC the rate was something like $1.85-$1.95/£1 (depending on if you were smart and shopped around).

                I don't think it's deceiving. They're already tanking and the hard Brexit isn't even 100% confirmed yet. With the tumultuousness of Brexit + a US recession in the next 18 months, they could easily be looking at being par or even slightly underwater vs. USD before that's over.

                    Given that it's mookie, I would assume this can only mean one thing...

                            You might not be dealing in the same trading strata. The numbers I've seen come through the trust accounting system would really make people's jaws drop.
