The economy is booming, the pound
is almighty strong,

This is not necessarily helpful.

I suppose poverty and deprivation is.

And what does the relative value of one
currency to another have to do
with povery and deprivation?

It is indicative of the strength of the British economy. Britain is admired
throughout the world the way it has handled its economy, with many looking
hard at the way Britain does things.

If you examine facts (always distateful to you, I admit)

A Tory voter ignores facts, as they so obsessed with petty snobbery.

you will find that many countries are desperate to
devalue their currencies in order
to be able to export their goods at all.

It is a balancing act of cheaper exports to more expensive imports. Germany
in the 1970s had a very strong currency that mad their products expensive.
Yet people still bought them as they were/perceived to be well made so good
value for money. If you make tat then the tat has to be cheap.

What world do you live in?

One where real hard facts rule, not wishful muddled thinking.

You are confused by petty snobbery, wanting an aristocracy that still rips
us off, etc.

One good point was that the "real" and "true" king of England, King Michael
1st, who lives in Australia and has barbies and drinks tubes of Fosters,
voted for a republic for Australia. Imagine this lot of parasitical
impostors doing that.
