This is a normal post But Benny and Dinny told us Brexit would mean we'd be isolated isolationists.
What's this? International free trade saving taxpayers money despite Brexit? Do your little brains hurt Benny & Dinny? Still, something to whinge about, eh?

This is a normal post Last summer the pound was at its lowest level since...
2009.

Back in the halcyon days when Brexit was inconceivable, the pound was where it was last summer.

This is a normal post A year after the banking fiasco.
Over 5 years later, it dropped in the first quarter 2016 and has been ever since.

This is a normal post We haven’t left yet.
These money savings were obtained by using our current rights as EU members to access to the common market.

Just to point out the bleeding obvious.

This is a normal post This contract is set to run well after we leave.
Sent from my Chinese manufactured Korean phone I bought in the EU. It was very tough to get hold of, and super rare because it's prohibitively expensive. I'll never know how they accessed the Holy Grail that is the Single Market.

This is a normal post £120 million saved and 70 uk jobs created.
Hard to argue against it.

This whole story is in the news because of the boss of De La Rue is throwing a massive hissy fit.

Either his firm is way less productive than the Franco-Dutch one or he thought the government would be forced to use his and bloated the bid. It's even worse given the devaluation of the pound against the euro.

Sounds like he was playing silly buggers and got burnt.

This is a normal post People begun ditching De La Rue some time ago.
I forget the details, but I'm sure I read a piece (in the Investors' Chronicle?) saying bin the stock ages ago.

This is a normal post You're not even a simpleton, you're just parroting other people's propaganda. You don't actually think for yourself.
The only nostalgia I can see is yours for the autocratic and sclerotic EU.
