What hasn't it been blamed for? Far easier to answer ...

Are you blaming the EU for Africans seeking a better life? Are you blaming the EU for a civil war in Syria? The big migration will come from Africa as there is a young population and little chance for people to feed themselves or have a decent standard of living. Syria and Iraq were created...

According to Trump.... the EU have an advantage over the USA through their negotiating skills. He actually praised them ( by mistake as he thought it was the Germans not the EU that negotiated with the USA ). The EU are already dealing with China and have just signed new deals with Canada and...

Not seen one poster saying they want an EU nation. There is an EU flag... it flies next to the country's flag. There is an anthem which is used at EU events. There is no EU nation and can never be a true one ( in the sense of France or Scotland because of the sheer number of national identities...

If the profit margin is so high, then they can absorb the tariffs and still make a profit here whilst turning there attention to building up new markets. In the end they will be better off than now. Your new Italian neighbours will still be able to afford German cars.

Simple economics. We make billions from financial services largely generated by the City of London. The banks start moving various departments to EU countries. We have less income. The fruit pickers leave. Either the wages rise, or more likely noone wants to do hard work in the fields. Food...

Didn't someone say that the UK would have to pay 10 billion to leave at one time?

Exactly. They will build up alternative markets and supply chains to replace the U.K. If necessary...

Yes. There were plenty of those in Hamburg. I'm sure a few choked on their Lentils. One outside lefter from the 'Rote Flora', an old theatre that is now a left wing Centre of alternative life style, said that although he agreed to an extent with the riots, they shouldn't do it in their and his...

Well, let's see what happens with the German elections. Noone from the EU will want to commit to anything until they see how Merkel gets on. If she gets a resounding win, then it's full steam ahead for renewing and reforming the EU. Everyone in the EU was on major wobble as Merkel lost her...

That is correct. His party started off as National Socialist and morphed into a pro business nationalist party. He blamed capitalism and communism on the jews, purged his party of the socialists and we all know what happened after that. According to older people I spoke to in Hamburg years ago...

I was wrong about the Express. Their take was that it is the Germans threatening us. I cannot understand the shock and horror ( see Express readers comments ) about other countries - not just Germany - wanting to take over our profit making role in financial services. Look at how rich London is...

Macron wants to lower taxes to encourage banks to come to France. The EZB is in Frankfurt, but Paris has more culture and places to go to. I think I would choose Paris for my staff. There is still the Eurostar connection so the UK is not far away - depending on border controls. I don't think...

The German car industry has indicated that it will prioritise Poland as the country with growth potential in Europe. The EU have just signed new trade deals with Canada and Japan. Maybe there is more potential there. Pity the UK won't be involved if the present government continues down the hard...

Actually it's in the Independent as well... maybe not in the Mail or Express. You keep going on about people's supposed anti-British agenda. Are you seriously saying that last year 48% of voters and now more than half the British voting population ( according to some polls ) are anti-British...

The EU has completed two important trade deals since Brexit. Canada and Japan. The show goes on without the UK. The transition that keeps getting mentioned is absolutely necessary because we are never going to sort this mess out in less than 2 years. So, in other words, business as usual for the...

The G20 events are taking place near the harbour and at the Exhibition Centre ( a few hundred meters away ) and the ( Elbphilharmonic also not far away ). This happens to be not far away from anarchist areas. The police expected trouble... the message "Welcome to hell" from the protestors sorts...

The police had said no hiding your faces. The black block hid their faces and the police stopped them in a place where they could be contained to remove the "black block". The "black block" are anarchists, antifa, extreme left and just generally cxxts. They travel around for these sort of...

I remember the chant every time we were on tele.... 'Gary Newbon.... what a wxxnker what a wxxker'

Which is what I meant.
