    FTFY. Which brings us nicely to the point of the thread.

      So in your view WW2 was fought to prevent Germans from allowing Nu Liebor running up debt off the balance sheet?

        FFS have you taken a stupid pill today?
        You're like an idiot savant without the savant bit.

        My point is that if millions were killed to prevent German dominance why hand them everything on a plate now as plenty of people would like to do.

          I think it's pathetic that you use WW2 as excuse for your little Englanders theories about independence that is long gone since the best days of British Empire.

          WW2 was fought to stop Germans from realising whacky ideal about racial superiority which involved murdering millions of people who they deemed subhuman. That was fight for survival and luckily it succeeded.

          I doubt very much you'd be able to motivate people to attack well defended German positions by saying that if they fail to do that then Germans would use their influence to limit about of borrowing UK can do in the future to finance fake growth to keep some labour idiot in power.

          Frankly you should be ashadmed of yourself by falling so low as getting WW2 involved into all this - Germans paid very high price for it and it is in the UK MPs have parties in Nazi uniforms, something they'd go to jail in Germany.

            So you'd be happy for the British budget to have to be submitted for approval to the Germans, then?

              As opposed to it submitted for approval to Moodys, Fitch and S&P?

              Difficult one, but I'm inclined to say yes.

                I'd be very happy if UK budget had to follow strict rules on key things such as deficit and taxation (especially hidden).

                This is great because it would help prevent some populist knob from jacking up debts to stay in power for longer.

                I would also trust Germans to deal with the City far more than any elected politician in the UK.

                  Which is really what the holocaust was all about.




                  You have to admit it's a pretty offensive comparison.

                    Prince Harry in Nazi costume:



                    "Conservative Aidan Burley was forced to apologise in a bid to save his career after attending a party with 12 Oxford-educated some of whom chanted ‘Hitler, Hitler, Hitler’, at a restaurant in a French ski resort."

                    ------

                    What did UK fight WW2 again for?!?!?

                    AFAIK in Germany for this sort of tulip people go to jail for and certainly don't get elected: is it those "elected representatives" you trust your budget?

                      FFS. At what point did I bring the holocaust into this?

                      My point is that people have fought to keep national independence and democracy and that it seems strange to me that we would suddenly accept German dominance for purely economic reasons.
