"Have you actually been to Germany recently? I have, and your description of an economy stalling and faltering does not hold water."

Now then GUEST Dave actually read what I said and tell me which bit of it that you have trouble understanding:

"While the economies of Europe have stalled and faltered Britain's trade with the rest of the world has grown. Europe's financial woes will continue as long as they are driven by idiotic political dogma which allows for breaches of fundamental principles as occasion demands by those and such as those. The EU is and always has been from the start a cosy little club that looks after the best interests of France and Germany."
