So why don’t the Germans want to ‘lend’ it all to them in the sure knowledge that they’ll get their money back with interest instead of missing out on such a great opportunity by letting the British get in on the act.It’s unusual for the Germans to ever want to share a good money making scheme with us when they could take it all for themselves.
Because the numbers above are refering to non-Euro members of EU and Germany is not one of them? It’s rather hard to lend money to yourself, you know…
I was rather courious your opinion on the facts above. From your opinions one could expect that it will be Britain giving 42 bilions - 30 to Eurozone, 6 to Sweden and 6 to Poland, but it seems that Poland is also asked to contribute significant amount of money to help the Eurozone. Obviously it is not only Britain who has to fork out the money.
I am quite courios as well, that you did not noticed, that poor Poland is asked for about the same amount as rich Sweden which has more than three times higher GDP per head and only sligtly lower in general terms due to having less citizens…
That has for sure make some of your theories about EE only milking money and not putting anything to the common jar less strong?
It’s ironic that Germany is one of the countries that is in the Euro currency zone and it’s mainly because of the crisis within that currency that the money is needed.
It’s also ironic that even with all the cutcacks and austerity measures here,because of our own economic problems,the Germans seem to think that we can afford to keep chucking all this money at the EU,in order to keep the rest of the EU buying stuff from Germany,to provide Germany with it’s accustomed better living standards and economic balance of payments figures,which has always been an issue ever since we joined the EEC/EU.
As far as I know the Swedes have been rich enough so far to enjoy much better living standards than us too and seem to have had enough money to go on some guilt trip third world aid spending spree when they could have ‘lent’ (given) that money to Greece and Ireland instead to help them out and although the east european states like Poland might be getting asked to put some money up now,how much is that when compared to what they’ve already received from the EU so far ?.
The fact is Germany and France and the East Europeans are the only ones who really have anything to lose if the Euro and the EU collapses and Britain stands to lose more by keeping on subsidising the whole parasitic lot of them than if we were to just get out of the place and leave them all to to it.
So as I said Zb em it’s Germany that’s always had the best deal out of the EU so now let those zb’s pay for it for a change and we’ll just get on with providing for our own home market instead of being in a trade deficit for the benefit of German workers and the German economy and subsidising everyone in else the EU to help them pay for German goods.
However it’s interesting as to how it’s always been a case in the EU that when it comes to wages and living standards Germany always seems to be able to say that it is better and worth more than everyone else so it can take more out of the pot than everyone else can and if there’s any economic issues it’s always the others that have to take ‘austerity measures’ never Germany.
Having said all that it’s my bet that if we stick to our guns and tell the EU to zb off we’re out of it then Germany would follow in which case the East Europeans and the French will be left with having to sort it all out amongst themselves but knowing the French I wouldn’t be too reliant on them being much help.
