    Remind us which Scottish politician (clue, he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer and then Prime Minister) who sold all our gold at a very low price......

        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          A major factor for the nations in question is the measures they can take with their currencies (and other financial policies) to resolve any problems they face.
          Quite simply, the UK is master of its own destiny where the other EU countries are puppets to the needs of Europe as a whole.
          Just saying like.

          where there's chaos, there's cash !

          I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

              Italy has more than double Switzerland or China's gold reserves.

              If you want to be even more depressed, Britain has less gold than Iran.

                  Mind you the Anglo-Saxons have always bested the Teutons - see the US, Canada, Australia, NZ.
                  Not one of their leaders has a German name
                  Because they changed their name to Windsor.

                      Never felt part of it. I could still count the number times I crossed the boarder over to England by the time I was 25. Twice.
