sandyf Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 17 hours ago, nauseus said: Funny? Not for Greek pensioners. While the super German pensions were being championed as an EU influenced plus point, nothing was said of the opposite effect of the austere Greek poverty line payments. The rules were broken on both sides when Greece went in but maybe you have conveniently forgotten that? The biggest cheat in Europe is the EU itself. The only failing on the part of the EU was not kicking them out when the fraud came to light. Greek spending was irresponsible and now everyone wants to blame those picking up the pieces. Among other things they were paying themselves pensions at a much earlier age than the UK and spending a larger percentage of GDP on pensions than any other country in the EU, but to some that was all the fault of the EU. Greece has only got itself to blame, bit like the person that maxed out a credit card and complains about the repayments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone trust the Cons to look after our long term interest? Weak pound and cherry picking is costing us much of our high value high tech industry Did you hear the Japanese ambassador on Radio 4? ? Mind you the average Brexiter is most interested in jobs at a garden centre or Wimpey. Quite, any other government would have stopped it as not being in the nation interest, and this is the government that some have put their faith in to act in the national interest. We can only hope they wake up and smell the coffee. Brexit was a potential threat to Airbus business but the shareholders going against a specific warning from Airbus makes it very real.

There’s a reason why Brexiteers are becoming ever more concerned, it has a great deal with all the UK’s ‘Red Lines’ having mysteriously turned ‘Green’. You proclaiming ‘facts’ which are nothing more than wishful thinking mixed with misrepresentations of reality might comfort you but they don’t disguise the truth. The truth is the U.K. Brexit team are bending over backwards to not deliver any meaningful Brexit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said, it is incredibe how people blame the EU for some countries mismanaging their funds, taking out loans and spending them on things that do not make a return and then needing bailing out repeatedly, costing the EU taxpayer every time, somehow it is the EU's fault for footing their bills, for trying to help them despite their corruption, for paying the interest on their loans, which have very low interest anyway, and always it is the Germans who are criticised for being able to pay their own bills as well as being able to make the biggest contribution toward the Greeks bills. Pure ignorance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
