You'll soon know what it's like to be the village idiot's bastard offspring when you are bailing out half of southern Europe, and we're not. Be sure to let us know what it's like though, if Brexit is anything like as bad as you say it's going to be, we might need cheering up a bit...Originally posted by scooterscot View PostThe UK joined the EU as the Sick Man of Europe and is leaving the EU like the village idiot's illicit off-spring.

Quite fascinating in 2009 all the Eurosceptics were predicting Greece would collapse and it was impossible to recover whilst they stayed in the Euro. Unemployment has fallen significantly and the stock market is soaring.

The lessons learned for the Greeks, just like Iceland... be careful who you vote for. Populists promising everything are the same the world over. Corrupt, power hungry, and will sell out their country for personal benefit.
You voted for Bojo, now wait for consequences.Last edited by scooterscot; 22 August 2019, 12:30."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
