Why would they be looking to live in a one bedroom property costing £850 per week.
That's what some of them cost even substandard ones. Are you living in the real world? You want them to live in hovels with unsatisfactory heating, epc ratings and facilities. My kids rent because they can't afford a mortgage. You insult them and many more people with that question! Their families are here in Sussex, have been for 200years or more. You think they should move to hull where the rent is a pittance for a tenement with no work prospects? Hateful Victorian workhouse mind set.

Im not the one suggesting farmers will be paying £200 quid more a week than they are paying already for fruit and veg pickers. What are the tax benefits in cloud cuckoo land btw?

Perhaps you can provide some details on where these £850 per week one bedroom properties are in Sussex.
There are many one properties in Sussex for rent that are below £850 per month let alone per week which is approaching £3500 per month.
Why are they unable to rent one of these much cheaper properties rather than your mythical £850 per week ones.

More like near £200 a week these days, I'd say [MENTION=20840]The Rivet[/MENTION] means 850pcm.

Not what he stated and clearly thought he was right with per week when he went into Victorian slum mode.

The worrying aspect of this is since the sell off over a week ago, GBP has made no gains. It's bobbed between 1.20-1.21 v USD and 1.10-1.11 v EUR. The thing is anymore weak data from the UK and this will be the point at which GBP falls. I was hoping we would see sterling rise 3-400 pips as it was undervalued, but it seems more likely now that the markets believe sterling is were it should be. There is likely to be further drops as more data comes out and the BoE reacts to keep the economy moving over the coming months. We didn't enter into this uncertainty from a position of strength, but off the back of austerity and a huge global financial crisis. We've been led up the garden path by Cameron wanting to take votes from UKIP and Boris and Gove out to win power by default and political manoeuvrings. It turned out badly for all 3, and subsequently the whole population. The Vote to leave could have been years down the line, the timing was bad, the remain campaign faltered and we are the pawns in all this.

Against the Euro it still would need to fall around a further 8% from it's current level to breach the historic low of just above €1.02 set in December 2008
Change from 4 January 1999 to 15 October 2016
Minimum (29 December 2008): 1.0219 - Maximum (3 May 2000): 1.7510 - Average: 1.3706
CAN be up to £850 per week, far more likely you mean per month I guess? If anyone is moaning about paying £850 per week then boxxocks to them as they deserve all that they get for being so stupid, if you are paying that figure then you ain't hard up.

Why does nobody ever mention the cut in interest rates when talking about the current value of the pound?
Cutting to 0.25% would've devalued the pound whether we were in the EU or not. Obviously there's a cumulative effect with the Brexit vote as well but surely you have to expect fluctuations in the markets because of the uncertainty. It won't stop until the dust has settled and we have a stable political system. I wonder if people will still be bickering on this thread in 5 years!

Billy the fish, I did mention it:
A swing in sterling PPI inflation from -25% to +25% in only fifteen months will have a major, and generally underestimated effect on headline price inflation. The Bank of England’s published forecast is a make-believe, and it is frightening that the MPC thought inflation would remain under its 2% target to the point where it felt a cut in its Minimum Lending Rate was warranted. With the bank going one way on interest rates and reality the other, the only way to prevent further devaluation is for the Bank to jack up interest rates as soon as possible before further damage is done.

Yes I am sure some people voted Remain for daft reasons but I'd hazard far more Leavers did. Somebody will write a book on them. Among people I know the most unpleasant (but still crazy) reason was the number of black people in hospital waiting rooms. Of the two members of my extended family who voted Out one did so because she was fed up with Russians buying so many London properties. The other voted out because of "the immigrants", even though he has rarely met one, never been inconvenienced by one, has only occasionally expressed any interest in anything outside his immediate surroundings and had forgotten that his daughter in law is Spanish.
