Yes, and he and the allies committed to an unconditional surrender from Germany and stuck to it. No hard surrender against a soft surrender or peace on one front, but not the others. Just a clear target laid out in advance. At present we cannot even agree on what Brexit is. Apart from Brexit...

Yes, I agree, but that was it. Right time, right place. At the same don’t make him into a saint. He wasn’t.

80 million Germans and you pick a clip of young men in a group feeling cocky and misbehaving as an example of disunity. Surprised you didn’t find any reports of right wing Dynamo Dresden Fans dressed in military uniforms terrorising people to add balance to your arguments. Anyway, as a citizen...

Part of the Netherlands?

What is a nation state? Trump’s Unuited States? The Russian Federation? The federal state of Germany? Scotland? Wales? England?

Actually, you do, otherwise nothing will happen. United we stand, divided we fall. We had hundreds of years of nation states. 1945 Europe lay in ruins and that was the end of the concept of nation states. Now we have Trump, Bannon, Erdogan and Brexit. No, not for me. United Europe or bust...

You mean similar, but more democratic, than the U.K.? England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - 4 nations as one entity? No wars ( troubles excepted ) for over two hundred years. A member of the G7. One currency, one army, one foreign policy.... one blue passport... one everything? You...

Yes, but that all stems from the same thing. The referendum was a yes - no decision. You can’t make a „life changing“ decision on such a complicated subject with a yes - no question to people who don’t really know what the vote entails. The referendum was a joke. Sadly for the U.K..

From The Balance: President Trump promised to increase economic growth to 4 percent. That's faster than is healthy. Growth at that pace leads to an overconfident irrational exuberance. That creates a boom that leads to a damaging bust. Find out what causes these changes in the business cycle...

All forecasts are wrong and we don't need experts....... apparently...;-)

Trump's strategy is at times chaotic and things are altered and pushed through with no time to even read them let alone analyse them. Even Rand Paul wasn't prepared to accept the latest last minute blag. This way of doing business is undemocratic and reckless. The government is shut down again...

Yes, and all forecasts cannot cover for all unknowns. But, the trend is us losing ground. I see Brexit and Trump screwing up a good run. The world seems to be doing relatively well but, Trump‘s tax reform giving too much to the rich and not enough to the wage earners together with more military...

Did you miss the bit from Carney about us not performing as well as the rest of the G7? 1% less growth because of Brexit rising to 2% by 2020? His forecast not as bad as some others. And holding back on rate rises?

There was a lot of scandal around the Hamburg one. One scam was buying TVs etc cheap somewhere, taking them apart, shipping to the Freeport, putting them back together again and saying assembled in the EU, thus dodging import taxes.

On a side note.... there was a free Port in Hamburg... my Albanians ( customers ) told me that was how the Albanians in Hamburg became extremely rich ( in addition to their red light business). They worked with the customs officers and drove trucks with alcohol and cigarettes from the free port...

The world, especially the Eurozone and other EU countries, is doing better than expected. We are an EU country, so it is no surprise, but some countries are now growing faster as we have to cope with Brexit uncertainty. The BoE would be under interest pressure anyway as Trump’s USA is leading...

We have heard all the claptrap about taking control of our borders ( which we had ) and regaining our sovereignty ( I had not noticed that we had lost our sovereignty, at least in anyway that has been detrimental to me ) and getting the chance to trade with countries such as the USA and China (...

Any things that will have tariffs imposed on them by the EU. The economy is slowing in comparison to other leading countries. The EU is also protecting our farmers and ensuring certain conditions are met e.g. on food imports. We are already importing cheap clothing from Bangla Desh and Vietnam...

I would say they didn’t. I am sure people knew that we paid more in than we got out, particularly having seen a big red bus and heard the discussions about the net amount.

How many voted based on the Euros as compared to fishers?
