    I agree. They now have control over the Greek economy and as long as the Euro survives they will gain control of the rest. The Poles never learn, they seem to want to enter the Euro as well.
    Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

      They know we British would never give up that easily which is why they have'nt bothered to invite us.

      Or is it perhaps because no rich pickings remain in the UK?

        Heard something similar on BBC world a few months ago. Finically and economically Germany is a very similar position prior to 1939.

        From my perspective the only people that keep 70 year old history alive almost on a daily basis are those coming from 'der island'

          Like Daily Mail readers and CUK correspondents?

          Actually Germany TV does tend to show a lot of documentaries about the war, probably more than UK TV although last night there seemed to be a program about shagging Greek people (psychological mind wars starting...)
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Since Pooperscot is so intimidated by my razor sharp brain that he's opted out, let's dissect another of his crass stupid statements: that Germany's economy in 1939 was very much like it is at present.

                Complete and utter bollux, as has now become usual from this particular village idiot.

                The "socialist" part of National Socialism was in full flow in 1939. After a massive programme of rearmament, road building and other Keynesian- style projects opf massive state spending, Hitler had got the unemployment rate to zero. This did not include women, Jews or the huge number of people in concentration camps, however.
                The economy was geared up for a war of militaristic conquest, yet Germany had very few resources to carry on a long war.

                Yes very much like now.

                Pooper gives Scots a bad name.

                  I think he was referring to the fact that they spoke German, liked a bit of sausage and their trains ran on time.

                    There weren't huge numbers of people in concentration camps in 1939. Germany managed to resource a 6 year long war.

                      Wrong and Wrongish in context.

                      1. Concentration camps had been going for 6 years by 1939

                      2. Your resources are relative to your enemy. In the end Germany did not have the men, oil or productive capacity to overcome her enemies. That would have been obvious to them if they hadn't brainwashed themselves into a mythic belief that their innate superiority would overcome such prosaic obstacles.
