    As long as Germany is financially OK that's the main thing...
    US unemployment is about 45M as well which is pretty scary along with UK 10M economically inactive (many of those IT contractors & other self employed no doubt!).

    I do love German kit, but not any more. No more BMW. No more Bosch.

    I can see quite a few brexiteers boycotting German gear.

    And their wine tastes like piss.

    No, it's the workers in the factories that assemble their cars in the UK and the US who will be fooked.

    All meaningless bollox. My personal GDP increases make BitCoin's growth look flat.

    started a topic George Soros explains why I voted for Brexit

    George Soros explains why I voted for Brexit

    Pretty much exactly my reason for wanting out...

    'Dysfunctional' EU has plunged into existential crisis, George Soros warns

    He warned that a split among EU countries that began at the start of the financial crisis in 2008 had been exacerbated by "outdated treaties".

    This had transformed the eurozone into a series of creditor and debtor nations overseen by inept institutions that had stirred up resentment in the bloc.

    The European Union is now in an existential crisis...

    After the financial crisis of 2008, the eurozone was transformed into a creditor/debtor relationship where the debtor countries couldn’t meet their obligations and the creditor countries dictated the terms that the debtors had to meet.

    By imposing an austerity policy they made it practically impossible for the debtor countries to grow out of their debts. The net result was neither voluntary nor equal.
