The rotten core at the heart of Europe

No wonder the markets think the UK is a much better bet.

A tulip sandwich may have sightly less tulip in it than another tulip sandwich, but they're both still tulip sandwiches.

Just by reading this thread and the various links pointed to it shows that no-one has a ******* clue, least of all the press who continue to print their scaremongering filth causing the general populace to get all in a tizzy about an imagined looming crisis. What next, salmonella poisoning from eggs? Britney Spears is actually Michael Jackson? **** me, the general public, if they continue to believe this are well and truly ****ed

PS Good find SAS, news to me

Good find nothing he only started posting links after my links to Der Spiegel.

Besides most Germans in my office will agree Der spiegel is to Germany what the Daily Mail is to the UK, a paper for mum and dad.

Or more succintly:

Politicians of all stripes who had to deal with the magazine's attention often voiced their disaffection for it. The outspoken conservative Franz Josef Strauß contended that Der Spiegel was "the Gestapo of our time". He referred to journalists in general as "rats". The Social Democrat Willy Brandt called it "Scheißblatt" (i.e. a "tulipty newspaper") during his term in office as Chancellor.

Der Speigel=Daily Mail? Isn't spiegel a mirror? That's confusing.

Don't flatter yourself, boy, I was reading Spiegel back in the early 90s.

And just to show how little you understand the country you live in, and what an outsider you remain, you can't even place it correctly.
Der Spiegel is a current affairs magazine not a newspaper, more akin to the Economist than the Mail.

You are, and will remain, a moron.

Must be good if they piss off politicians.

Economist bollocks. If Der Spiegel is akin to the Economist then the beano is Physical Review Letters and the Viz annual is the bible.

The Euro is a failed experiment and the EU is simply a gravy-train for Euro MPs. The British people want out of the EU. By denying us a referendum the politicians are ignoring the will of the people. Hopefully they will reap what they sowed, the next time there is an election.

Er, and the Labour Party will do it? They voted unanimously against it!

You really need to think through what you actually want from a referendum. For a start, what exactly will you ask the population?
