    @tf365official Absolute mugs them lot.
  4. It's you they don't like The political elite in France have a problem with what they see as the creeping Americanisation of Europe in language, culture, defense and above all else capitalism. We are your Trojan horse. President Sarkozy used to call it the "anglo-saxon way of life" particularly "anglo-saxon finance" and capitalism, he was desperate to destroy it in 2008 and extol the virtues of the French way. In recent years President Hollande ramped up tax on the rich and David Cameron rolled out the red carpet and invited them all to flee the tyranny of the French tax regime. It wasn't even subtle and irked the French government, reiterating to them the difference in way of life, the low tax predatory Anglo Saxons. London became the 2nd most populated French city and Hollande will be eager to get revenge, to damage the UK. He won't be President much longer but Macron was finance minister when David Cameron mugged them off so he will be looking to get a win or two.
  5. Just started watching Riverdale. Lead actor is a fake ginger. This is cultural appropriation if I've ever seen it.
  6. Now he wants to sue for the media reporting his arrest. Lol. /thread back alive
  7. Without doubt it makes labour costs amongst other things lower in dollar terms than it would overwise be. But its still not lower than other western countries so the undervalued €uro isn't a very good excuse on the surface. Beneath the surface is where the disturbing economics is. All of us trade deficit countries are going on a massive debt bender to keep up our standard of living. Floating currencies are supposed to stop that sort of scenario, in theory. In practice the €uro and the Chinese government are setting the world up for a disastrous reset.

  9. Are they opposed to free trade? Portugal is in the "hard" area on the punishment graph at the top of this page, so if lower on trade that suggests perhaps they want to block access to some programmes or demand money.

    Is it better if the horse has 3 legs or 4?
  13. Germany's power is coming from the Bundesbank supplying credit to other central banks, being their life support. I'm not convinced that is a result of competitive advantage for its businesses from an undervalued currency, I think it's more to do with an inability of other central banks economies to cope with an over valued currency, making them more and more dependent on German capital flows as the crisis deepens. A return to the deutschemark will do little but see some jobs move from Germany to Romania to save on labour costs. The trade surplus calculation will remain the same as the end product would still come out of Germany. The surplus won't cone down until the German consumer starts spending. In or out of the €uro.
  14. The economic intelligence unit have analysed each countries stance on Brexit No surprises, it matches culture, history and general UK relations.
  15. The €uro hasn't worked for Germany. In 1995 UK GDP was about 40% of German GDP, today it is 80%. UK GDP per capita was 65% of Germany's in 1995, it is now 95%. The €uro has stunted German growth because the bundestag, bundesbank and private banks have to transfer wealth to keep other countries from going under. Wealth generated in the UK leads to increased credit creation in the UK, causing more wealth in turn. Wealth generated in Germany leads to increased credit creation outside of Germany. The Deutschemark was one of Europe's best currencies, attaching it to countries that have never and will never compete with Germany regardless has caused stagnation. The disastrous collapse of those around Germany has given off the perception that Germany has done and is doing well out of the €uro. The undervaluation of the €uro is just a small consolation prize for mega conglomerates.
  16. Merkel couldn't have achieved the things she has such as destroying the Greek economy if she didn't have support from other governments and politicians. She also failed to get consensus on the refugee policy and many countries have gone their own way, closed their borders, refused numbers. There isn't quite the German dictatorship like the one UKIP like to tell everyone there is. They do have enormous soft power and can put a strong block on things, but when it comes to actually getting things done it's a different ball game. One of the main reasons for leaving the EU is it is impossible to reform the treaties, you can't get meaningful things done. Europe isn't stagnant because of mistakes, it's stagnant because it can't reform following on from mistakes. That is the organic success of democracy and nation states being choked. There are things the Italians want to do to the €uro that the Germans are blocking and things the Germans want to do to the ECB that the Italians are blocking. It's an anti democratic construct, it isn't governed by a Fuhrer but I can see why that idea appeals to UKIP.
  17. Manfred Weber is a clown in comparison to not only Verhofstadt but every politician in Europe. Verhofstadt to be fair gave an Ok speech yesterday, all things considered. Probably only 2 bitter nonsense comments from him in it, the bizarre jibe at a John Major comment on the common currency and then calling people stupid. Nigel Farage on the other hand showed largely that he is a wanker who can't help but live life by the idea that "foreigners don't like it up em" Constantly winding up the EU fanatics connected to other nations is not a good approach. It might have been before the vote but it isn't now. Dan Hannan needs to be the leading UK voice in the European Parliament, not Nigel trying to get YouTube hits and Daily Express credits. Likewise if you are on the EU/remain side it's not a good idea to make comments that fuel British nationalism and national identity. There's no class these days. Just man childs.
  18. Yeah I switched it off after 5 minutes Then I tried Love but switched that off after 23 minutes. Struggling to find anything good. How is there so much money in Hollywood? The quality is awful for the investment they make.
  19. I've finished Mr Robot. Don't think I will bother with it if a 3rd season comes out. Need something new now. Decided I will try Blindspot.
