Hard Brexit seems to have triggered further fall on Pound

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37582150  - I mean I would think if this falls much further we are going to enter a period like the financial crisis.... and will it start to affect world markets ?

Now while a low pound means our exports are cheap, many exports are made using imports which are now dearer, so that is one offset. But the low pound was not an intention by the Brexit campaign - its more a sign of lack of trust by financial markets ... and when that trust returns (if it does !) then the pound will rise again and our exports will be more expensive again .... by which time hopefully British companies will be more resilient after a few good years of exporting ... but this is ALL beyond control of politicians, beyond if they see a steady hand on the ship - that reassures the markets !
