"Greeks are known gamblers "

That'll be us in a fair few years. Thought that the Greek issue was that the middle class avoided tax and the state promised too much.

What measure are you using in France? Gdp growth is comparable (if not better) than uk in recent times I think.

The Gilet Jaunes have hit the French economy lately. I have Just read an article from DW (German newspaper ) where the Germans have found evidence of Russian bots being involved in stoking up trouble.

The main point though is can we ever have another election or any democratic process that will not be manipulated?

Greek politics has been controlled by two "families" who immediately overturned what the previous lot did, and have favour to their mates. A bit like our tribalism of left & right. Fuck the country and they did!

There are so many struggling nations in the EU, and while some of the poorer nations will benefit from membership, the rest will be paying towards helping them. It would appear that the whole of continental Europe is heading for recession. You can’t blame the French or the Italians for feeling resentment for having to contribute when they are struggling themselves. The EU will unravel, and I think it will happen within the next five or six years. I just hope we are free of them in time, or they will drag us down with them.

My thoughts too. Seen a news item where Italy was threatened with sanctions of all things, if it didn't tow the line fiscally.

with France, brussels ok'd the extra 2 billion euros to help macron ease the unrest. But still want an austere system in France to ensure money flows to brussels.

I cant figure why we have little so little confidence in ourselves to to run our own country

We do run our own country and wanting to remain in the bloc has nothing to do with having any confidence issues in ourselves at all.

Maybe but when you look at employment and unemployment levels it's a very different story.

Youth unemployment in France is up at 20.5%, while in the UK it's only 11.4%.

Overall unemployment in France is 9.3% while in the UK it's only 4%.

Consider country A. Out of every 100, 96 youths go to uni. Of the 4 remaining one is unemployed. It has an unemployment rate of 25%

In country B only four go to uni. Of the 96, 10 are unemployed. It has an unemployment rate of under 10%.

Which is worse ?

If we were to look at the ratio of unemployed to all, we’d see very different numbers (1% v 10%)

Now France still has a worse unemployment ratio, but it’s something like 9% versus 7%. Because France has more youths going into higher and future education (at least at the early range of young adults.

In my opinion we’re in similar economic places when you look across the board.

I don't recall you calling Macron a retarded righty when he was left as one of the final 2 candidates along with Marine Le Pen. If you think Macron is a righty now though at least you've finally recognised the left is dead in France as two right wingers made it to the final 2 candidates in the French election. And it's never too late to jump on the populist yellow vests bandwagon against Macron.

French productivity is also about 30% higher than the UK. I've always struggled with that as a statistic, but it is a consistent one.

I know you like to pick and choose statistics, but I tend to accept that if one statistic is used from a given data source, then you accept the others too.

In that case, as each individual in France produces more, then fewer people are needed for a given level of output. So those people who are below mediocre simply aren't employed. The French solution has always been to be generous with benefits dor those not working.

This is economically sensible. It's questionable if this works socially and if social spending can be maintained with pressure from low wage economies.

Probably too complicated a discussion for you as you prefer to be able to point and shout "EU bad"

Is it? 3rd quarter growth in the UK was 3 times higher than that of the Eurozone, UK on 0.6%, while the Eurozone was only 0.2%. We'll see what the overall annual growth figures of the UK vs the Eurozone are in January.

That’s exactky the point. I’m not saying either country excludes students while the other includes in their unemployment figures. But if you only look at the economically active you miss the wider picture. Per 100 young adults we have about the same who are neither employed or in education, but as the French have more in education their unemployed as a % of economically active looks worse.

countries do stand on their own two feet. The Eu is (arguably) a rising tide which raises all shops. Sure there’s a bit of wealth distribution. But this happens everywhere. In the Uk the minority pay a large chunk of the taxes and the average native is a net drain on the state.

"Corrupt? Imploding?

What evidence do you have of this?"

Not democratic FACT.Look at the economies of France,Greece,Italy,Spain etc the facts are hitting you in the face but your blind to it.

Is the USA looking like a happy place?

Partial government shut-down over Christmas.

Hungary? Turkey? South Africa? Brazil?

Costa Blanca Spain...


"There are so many struggling nations in the EU, and while some of the poorer nations will benefit from membership, the rest will be paying towards helping them. It would appear that the whole of continental Europe is heading for recession. You can’t blame the French or the Italians for feeling resentment for having to contribute when they are struggling themselves. The EU will unravel, and I think it will happen within the next five or six years. I just hope we are free of them in time, or they will drag us down with them.

There is no proof that the EU is heading towards recession.....it's doing better than the UK in terms of annual growth

Is it? 3rd quarter growth in the UK was 3 times higher than that of the Eurozone, UK on 0.6%, while the Eurozone was only 0.2%. We'll see what the overall annual growth figures of the UK vs the Eurozone are in January.

You really don't understand economics.

Both of these are within the limits of correction.

We are all heading towards a global recession thanks in large part to your hero Trump. Have you not noticed?

Yes. The EU growth figures could be corrected down, and the UK's up.

No idea what point you were making.

Well done "

The point is very simple (to those who want to see it)

Anything "within the limits of correction" can be corrected BOTH ways.

Oh and yes, a global recession is coming and maybe Trump will nudge it along a bit.

However it will be caused by the worldwide mountain of government and private debt that no-one has got the will to tackle (as usual) 2008 hasn't gone away, it's just resting a while.

They are if they are in a similar situation but outside the EU. It implies that is independent of EU membership. Being outside of supranational organisation or having an anti-EU position doesn't help.

Did your parents put you through private school? Could they have afforded it? And private medical? I’m very lucky I probably could do this for any kids I have. But I suspect I would have been fucked before I was started had it not been for social responsibility.

Saying happy Xmas at the end....Classic!

Can you define 'your own'? Family? Nation? Race? Species?

You are a brain tumour to this forum...nonstop nonsense but I do admire you teflon-like ability to never seem bothered.
