Sterling Crash Now worse than Black Wednesday

Sterling now suffering it's worst week since 1982 (by a long, long way) - 30% worse than Norman Lamont's Black Wednesday in 1992.

Hope Gordon is proud that he has not only "abolished boom and bust" but is now, apparently, "leading the world out of recession".
