So the pound falling to the lowest point in decades is just unfounded panic? There is a whole lot of uncertainty going around, and the Leave campaign was full of optimistic assumptions about the EUs good will.

> So the pound falling to the lowest point in decades is just unfounded panic? At this point yes, no one has any real idea of the out come. Investors are just dumping pounds and British investments because they have no clue as to what is going to happen. But, just in case it's bad, money is moved to investments that is perceived to be safer. The UK isn't even out of the EU yet, and it won't be for years. I'm not saying it's not going to be bumpy, or that the British aren't going to become a little poorer. It's just not going to be the end of British economy. It won't devolve into a third world economy, and certainly not over night.
