        @TeaJunkie1 Manipulation of the markets to allow elite to "negotiate" watered down version of #Brexit.

        It's not as organised as that. The markets just don't like uncertainty. And we've just turned things upside down.

        "Markets" are in reality a handful of extremely wealthy individuals. Hedge funds etc are all under their direction.

        It's not a matter of giving in. It's a matter of making sure that you can still pay your rent.

        Carrot & stick. Do we put up with it for fear of reprisals or do we resist. Working people have only gained by resisting

        So what do you expect we do to resist the markets? I suppose we could go back to a barter system.

        .@Peston The question is, recession or exchange-rate driven inflation? Given the deflationary world, I vote for the latter.
