Still curious about In and Out!
A cheap coin is usually good for business that export products or commodities. IIRC fuels, beverages, tobacco products, and materials were the major categories. But other than the US, the major importers were EU nations.
But again, IIRC UK imports were almost double the exports.
As has been the case for at least several hundred years the UK relies on imports for its very existence.
A lower pound would make all imports more expensive even ignoring tariff issues. It will make exports more attractive even ignoring tariff issues.
Can the UK increase exports and also reduce the demand for imports to at least keep the economy relatively stable?
If so, how?

Re: So now what?
Ireland could even secede from the UK and retain connection to the Monarchy as have so many other of the British Colonies.

Incidentally, the Sterling just took a hit as well. Wonder where it might end up after all this is done.
Hopefully at Par with the Euro but maybe Par with the Dollar.

All summed up by something I heard a supermarket checkout operator say to a customer, just before the vote: well, I don’t really understand any of the arguments, but I’m voting leave to keep the foreigners out.
Yeah, like the Jutes and Angles and Saxons and Vikings and Danes and Norsemen and such. Keep them furriners out.
Make Britain Celtic again.
