The ECB are pumping 20billion a month into the eurozone to try and stimulate it.
They are also considering helicopter money which literally means that they give money to every person to encourage them to spend.
They are in deep doo doo financially.
Germany has massive cash reserves but will not spend due to brexit uncertainty.

I am sure our remain friends will have an explanation for this economic failure of the EU, no matter how bizarre.

I must remember to always carry a video camera of some sort when answering the door! Well said though, I'll give him that.

You can only live in hope that a response will be forthcoming to anything that has even a hint of negativity relating to the EU … pity really.

‘As if we’re worried about what the Jocks think’
‘Unfortunately they are still part of the UK’
‘Scot Nats/nets/nits/nuts’

Who writes this tripe...Lucas & Walliams? No, that’s Little Britain not little England.

Any other groups we should make derogatory statements about?

...and no, I’m not a Scot.

I believe the derogatory comments were being made about the SNP, and surely politicians are fair game for ridicule at any time.

That ones mine ;)

Let us therefore consider the contribution this Political Group have made on behalf of the UK given that the UK as a whole voted to leave the EU. The SNP are a one trick pony and apart from becoming independent whilst remaining in the EU they have no policies of use to the UK as a whole that spring immediately to mind.

Certainly no supporter of SNP but that still leaves -nits, nuts, ‘unfortunately they are still part of the U.K.’ and ‘who cares what the Jocks think.’

Scotland is part of the U.K. and as members of the U.K. we should respect what they think as we should respect what the Welsh, and Irish think. As well as other neighbours. It’s very easy to be disparaging about any regional groups ... posh souvernors, tight tykes, thick geordies ( that’s me), secretive Welsh. but it doesn’t help move on the discussion one jot.

On a lighter note here is a song:

I would be more than happy to show plenty of respect to the Scots, if they were equally willing to show some gratitude for the extra taxpayers money they have spent on them compared to the English.

I guess that’s a govt decision- not yours or mine.
Bit Of Dickensian forelock touching is obviously what you require to show respect.

I've no problem with the Scots. I would have more time for Mrs Krankie if she put the views of more than 17m Brits who voted to leave above those of fewer than 2m Scots who voted to stay.

How can you expect me to respect a Party who's only declared ambition is to break up the UK … sorry, no can do.

The other minority Parties, Welsh and N Irish, have their vested interests of course but will do so from within the UK. These I do respect.

On a different tack I think Call Me Dave has been utterly disgraceful in his promotion of his memoirs. Not a word of apology for the mess he created. And sneering at those who've tried to deliver the promise he made before he cut and run. What a cynical hypocritical toe rag. I won't be buying his book. I hope they end up where they deserve. Pulped to make toilet rolls. I'll buy one of those!

I do hope the media realise that this is just Dave's assumptions from his perspective, and not necessarily firm and true facts.

You can be assured the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation will revel in it.Good timing from Call Me Dave, the one who said he was British and we never quit then resigned the day after the result of the referendum. No respect for the slimy little toad at all.

Of course nobody on the Remain side told any porkies. If this isn't Project Fear I don't know what is. And despite what Osborne told us we still voted to leave. How many others were swayed by what he was telling us.

So Luxembourg are putting the boot in. . For three years the EU have done little other than try to punish us for voting to leave. Then when our parliament rejects three times the proposed deal they say they will not negotiate further. If we can't win we're taking the bat and ball home. Now we have a PM talking tough and saying if that's the only deal we'll leave without one. So it's all our fault.

Therein lies the serious defect in the EU.

Tiny countries about the size of small British towns, overestimating their importance in the scheme of things.

28 member states.
20 of which are financially irrelevant.

The day the Lisbon Treaty kicked in was the day to bail out.

Roll on the end of October.
