Heaven forbid that we have a commemorative coin.......

There has actually been 3 EU related 50p coins, but those are for commemorative purposes. This new one is a celebration of spliting the country in two. The good thing to do would be to see if we get any sort of deal before even thinking about a coin.

The aim is to make the new 50p worth the same as the 70s version.

It's a hail Mary strategy really isn't it?

Thing is tho, Singapore is the same size as Ireland and it's corporate tax rate is 5% higher.
The idea of creating a vibrant economic hub depends on all the surrounding countries having developing economies, this is not the case in western Europe.
Slashing taxes at a time of economic upheaval seems almost as shortsighted as calling a Brexit referendum with no idea how to Brexit. So it could happen.
Sorry Bruce, the rant wasn't directed at you, just a random observation.

Wouldn't like to say, there's probably a small percentage of brexshïteers that would like it and a fair few too many who would support a St George's turd with Brexit written beneath it.

The thing is, it's kinda the only strategy left unless they go in for high levels of integration with other countries ala the single market, which offends their sovereignty sensitivities. I'm sure it's all been thought out though, even if it's taken a 'remoaner' to come up with the suggestion.

Presumably the UK will be reverting to L.S.D. after Brexit ?

Yes, I suspect that it will also be worth 50p.

Inflation's no joke Bruce. Unless you balloon model at children's parties.

I wonder what the average ages are for the remainers and the leavers? I was 21 when I voted to join. I was 64 when I voted to leave.

Bruce many times I have read through your post and you have not alerted me by using the @ before my username I have pointed that out to you on numerous occasions - it's like in real life someone talking behind your back......
if I had that alert with full knowledge I would have probably used banter back - to see you use my name in a ridicule way just got my back up - its not being bullied Bruce by me its you upsetting posters -I have not been involved in the 50p commemorative Brexit 50p post - yet you involve me by again not using the @ to my user the name - plus its not the first time I have pointed this out to you.....
As a Mod you should know better imo - we are on two sides of the argument, and get on well reasonable , but remember the are less brexiteers on this thread than remainers , and you class yourself as being bullied urm no way, please notify me if you are linking me to a post with the @ before my username it should be forum etiquette Bruce....
