    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The Dutch Guilder was the strongest of all EU member currencies and will be again. It'll be terrible in Germany I'll grant you but what happens outside of Holland is none of my concern.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Le Pen's PR man quit - he claims - over her "softening of tone" on some issues and took a few of his colleagues with him. There's been no change in core policies and the real reasons he left are somewhat unclear. His party - if you can it that - is more vocal on EU issues than Le Pen is at present.

    Could the migration crisis finish the EU? Hardened Eurosceptics might love to think the EU's in trouble, but as leaders gather in Brussels for their summer summit on Thursday, dedicated Europhiles are also sounding the alarm. "The fragility of the EU is increasing," warns EU Commission chief...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    That's another speculative article from a pro-EU newspaper written in April of last year which mentions only the Euro, not membership of the EU. However a few months later: France's far-right National Front keeps policy to exit euro - France 24 Now, do you have a link to any source which...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    That's a purely speculative headline from a pro-EU newspaper written in May 2017 which turned out to be incorrect. The actual headline reads "to abandon" not "abandon" and text underneath reads: "is expected to abandon". Now, do you have a link to current source which supports your claim? I've...

    Until people realise they were duped and the government have no intention of taking Britain out of the EU in any meaningful sense.

    By whom? Are you claiming to represent the opinion of ordinary Germans when you're not even one yourself? There's now great resentment of migrant workers and ex-patriots where I come from and I suspect the same is true in Germany.

    That was entirely down to Helmut Kohl's decision to create parity between the east and west German Mark, which made the east German economy totally unsustainable. That mistake has since been repeated on a gargantuan scale with the creation of the Eurozone.

    Becoming a Sky Blue

    Was taken up Highfield Road at a very early age. Remember being awestruck when approaching the ground from King Richard Street at seeing so many people stacked up in one place and then by the colours on the pitch as we only had black & white TV back then. Also our primary school was only a...

    That's a very good reason for leaving and one which I've mentioned before! Without the EU to blame for its policies the UK government will be forced to face the consequences of its own actions.

    Having to go into the settings menu to adjust the brightness level on my Android phone every time I leave or enter the house. Why can't it have a rocker switch for brightness like it does for volume?

    I got the terminology from the replies from Dutch people on Dutch news websites, nothing to do with Brexit. It is now a widely held belief in Holland and growing day-by-day.
