    And the irony of Scotland holding an independence referendum so they can be ruled by Brussels instead of Westminster is completely lost on you.

    Germany does very nicely out of the Eurozone, artificially pegging the nominal Deutshmark low. About the only thing I agree with Trump on is that Germany is a currency manipulator.

    Still waiting for Greece to leave. I think however if there is a "real Brexit" Scotland will be holding a second referendum

    So Germany's growth forecast sinks to a similar level as the UK's, whereas Germany's economy has grown much more over the past years than that one of the UK.
    The overall EU forecast is still better than the forecast for the UK
