It will save us a fortune leaving the EU, the pigs will need bailing out and we have no responsibility. Good luck France and Germany

If MMT doesn't work they are well and truly fecked as are we, just slightly less.....They keep going to the credit well.

At some point it becomes unsustainable. It's robbing the future generations of financial options because they are having to pay off the selfishness of the dead.

Somehow I can't see future generations accepting that and the whole facade falls apart.

As if the EU doesn't have enough problems it seems that the olive tree industry is in crisis with it's own virus.

IMF urge UK to delay Brexit talks.

[Link]

I don't think so, the IMF has been an EU cheerleader for the last 4 years it is certainly not impartial.

Now is the time to stand firm we will get a good deal if Boris holds his nerve.

Agree. Delay nothing. Negotiate whilst the EU have their eye off the ball and are feeling brotherly love to all mankind.

Go take a look at how the head of the IMF was selected - it's basically a pro-EU front group. I genuinely had no idea how they did it, but it's EU nepotistic rule-breaking cronyism to a T:

[Link]

* Did not meet the required population representation fraction of 65% -- brushed under the carpet
* Did not satisfy the age criteria rules -- meh, just change the rules.
* Because of "European" (sic) solidarity and transparency, was carried out by secret email vote

Now go take a look at who the current head is (no, not the convicted criminal previous one that's now head of the European Central Bank). Oh gosh. "Karl Marx Higher Institute of Economics"? An ex EU Commissioner (and therefore, like Mandy, bound to loyalty to her precious union, for fear of forsaking her pension)?

How many news outlets happened to mention that, I wonder? Might she have vested interests?

Vested interests? You could say that.....a giant reach-around.

Yep, the remain argument was purely an economic one.

The coronavirus emergency relief fund:

Hungary: 213 deaths, population 9.7m - €5.6bn
Italy: 24,000 deaths, population 60.3m - €2.3bn

[Link]

1/6 of the population, 0.7% of the deaths, over DOUBLE the funds received. You genuinely couldn't make it up.

EU incompetence, intransigence and inflexibility in a nutshell.

The hilarious thing about it is this: it's not that they don't recognise that Italy has been really heavily hit by COVID, and doesn't need the funds. No, it's that their RULES prevent them from changing how the allocation is made.

Pathetic. This is exactly why we were right to leave. While the EU vacillates, pontificates and sits under endless reviews, writes non-stop "solidarity initatives" and binds the vassal members under procurement state aid and monetary straightjackets, other nations will adapt quickly, with flexibility in order to restart their economies. While the lumbering EU looks on, sloth-like, as it bickers over tomato distribution quotas.

Each challenge it faces, the EU fails miserably. The Balkan war, the butter mountains and wine lakes, the fisheries policy decimating stocks, the (endless) eurozone crisis, The Commission's blind eye to diesel emmissions cheating, the migration tsunami, and now the Coronavirus.

But at least all our toilets are standardised to flush with the same volume now.

All talk, no trousers. Bin it.
