Britain? You’re better that EU....walk don’t run and protect your economy from the lazy POS nations (you know who you are Greece).
EU to UK: You did well and will be punished for it.
EU to the rest of Europe: You did poorly and will be rewarded for it.
From each according to his abilities; to each according to his needs. I’m thinking I’ve heard of that concept somewhere before.
Okay, so your sound running of your economy is being punished to support those member nations who are being wasteful and irresponsible. Yeah, that sound like a great partnership.
Mr. Straw meet Mr. Camel’s back.
Why any country would give up any of its sovereignty is beyond me. I can understand a basket case looking to hitch itself to harder working suckers. I guess they are all looking to mooch off of the others. Surprise. It can’t work.
If I was the UK, I would tell the EU to stick it.
This is a stealthy and unstated punishment due to much of Britain’s currently good economic situation is due to paper shuffling activity in “The City” and a huge influx of wealthy foreigners and their money being placed in British banks. Am talking rich Russians and Arabs and Chinese
From each according to their ability...
Punished for success. The EU budget is not a budget if it is scaled this way.
