I’m so sorry. That’s remarkable and the opposite of what we were told about things on the internet being there forever. They obviously are not. I guess individual websites get updated and change hosts so maybe the way back machine is the only way to see pages where she was mentioned now?

If only.

Well… the UK Government has always agreed with me that switching from GBP to Euro is a bad idea.

You don’t.

I am okay with that.

I’m not really interested in all the other stuff you seem interested in talking about, so I’m going to stop replying to your posts now.

Bye!

I’m not interested in disclosing anything about that to a stranger on the internet. Thanks!
March 22, 2025 at 10:14 PM
Okay?
March 22, 2025 at 8:52 PM
Yes. I chose not to tell you about my investments. I have investments in funds, ETFs and stocks and shares.

It’s really none of your business though.

Okay. Sure. Reported by Reuters in October 2024, foreign investors increased their holdings of UK government bonds by £55 billion, reflecting confidence in Britain’s political stability and economic prospects because of GBP. www.zawya.com/en/world/uk-...

Really.

No. I realize that.

For sure UK businesses are taking a big hit. When you look at world funds/ETFs the percentage of UK businesses in those funds has plummeted in the past decade which is really concerning.

That is a different issue to the idea of changing the UK currency to Euro though.
March 22, 2025 at 8:36 PM
You’re making several different points here.
1. Are you saying GBP is comparable to Z$? How?
2. Yes. I do. I am an investor.
3. Brexit is awful. Absolutely terrible but changing from GBP to Euro as you suggested would make matters worse. GBP is fine. There is nothing broken to fix.

Leveling the field by adopting the Euro as currency would change that entirely. It would impact every part of the UK economy, including EU investment in that economy.
March 22, 2025 at 8:28 PM
The UK works closely with the EU and does a lot of business with them and our markets are connected through business. The fact we have a separate currency is a good thing because if the Euro loses value and GBP goes up, EU investment in UK businesses is up for those EU stakeholders.
March 22, 2025 at 8:28 PM
which means we have the capability of strengthening Europe with the diversity of sterling forex which we bring to the table. Switching to Euro would be catastrophic.

That’s just one way your proposal would suck. There are other ways. Millions of them.
March 22, 2025 at 2:30 PM
All currency rates fluctuate. That’s fine. No one sells when the market is down (you would be an idiot) and definitely selling your entire economy as a country while the market is down is off the charts stupid as a concept. Right now we have market forces that are dynamic and independent of Europe
March 22, 2025 at 2:30 PM
I wasn’t happy with Brexit and I wouldn’t be happy with locking in the current sterling/Euro rate.
March 22, 2025 at 1:15 AM
Why on earth would the UK leave sterling when it is worth more than Euro and dollar? That would be like doing a bad foreign exchange deal on our entire economy!
March 22, 2025 at 12:47 AM
Awesomeness! Thank you for doing that!
March 21, 2025 at 7:18 PM
Write to your MP with the details and suggest it?

God, I’m old.

You’re right.
“The first Copyright Law was promulgated in 1990 by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, which is the legislative body of the Chinese Government. This law has since been revised twice, in 2001 and 2010.”

I was repeating out of date info!

China and Arab countries have no copyright law. What’s the rational next step if EU and US don’t allow copyright material to be used for training AI? Who will?

I think most likely Trump has agreed to provide NATO military intelligence to Putin. He is that person.
