Well, of course you did.

no i didn't, christ you are dense. the point is that all in the EU is not rosy, a fact seeking botty ignores. its a well known fact that if yermany sneezes the EU will get cholera

The economic travails of individual countries within the EU do not in themselves mean that leaving the EU was an anything but idiot move.

NOBODY has ever implied that the EU was some fairytale land immune from Asian competition, you verbose blundering moron.

Quit with that blatant strawman.

I'm a little bemused since inflation is lower and wages higher in Germany compared to UK.

Germany is having its problems, but nothing like the UK.

Nonsense, the EU is an association not a hegemonic agglomeration, you simpleton factory hand.

That's good for you

My guess would be that, if you made an effort for it, could find some places in the EU that are more screwed than the UK.

Would be pointless, but just as worthy as your ...example

What would you expect ?

EU is a Paper Tiger, who nobody, except for the "SuperPower Romancers" in Benelux, France and Germany, would give a shit about, if it wasn't for the Pork.

Feet of Clay

Troy, Cyrille, SA and all the others care about money.

(and can't forget that they were on the ..losing side )

I like self determination


Get on with it

Now the idiot Brexiters can't even get their much needed meds. helge's substantial supply obviously remains unaffected.

Drug shortages, now normal in UK, made worse by Brexit, report warns | Drugs | The Guardian

Germany has a current trade balance of around €27 billions whereas the UK has a trade deficit of around €3 billions.

Germany is of course in the process of realigning its extensive energy supplies but the situation continues to improve and its debt to GDP ratio remains at around 64% whereas in the UK the debt to GDP ratio is 100%.

The UK out of the EU faces a continuing decline with a recurring annual trade loss of £100 billions.

Which is why £ Sterling remains languishing at $1.25, a full 20% devaluation that has persisted continuously since 2016.

BrokendowndirtyBrexitBritain. So apt.

Helge is clearly unbalanced. Is he an alcoholic?

All bullshit and scaremongering.

It is not just a UK phenomenon. A recent European Association of Hospital Pharmacists survey reported that 95% of hospital pharmacists across Europe were experiencing shortages. An EU medicines shortage working party met last month to discuss a critical shortage of five key medicines, with impediments to supply said to include the impact of the war in Ukraine on supply chains, a European Medicines Agency recommendation to suspend use of about 400 medicines tested by an Indian laboratory, as well as attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and the extra regulatory paperwork that arises in some chains of supply due to Brexit.

From the Guardian.

You might have misunderstood something:

Cyrille isn't interested in "the Whole Truth".


I read his article and there was several other reasons for shortage listed

He'll cling to the "made worse" aliby

I realise you're a Johnny Foreigner, but do try to keep up with the conversation, there's a good chap.

The report by the Nuffield Health Trust makes it clear BREXIT is not the sole cause of the shortage...

But Britain’s departure from the EU in 2020 has significantly aggravated the problem, laid bare the “fragility” of the country’s medicines supply networks and could lead to the situation worsening, the report said.


“A clear picture emerged of underlying fragilities at a global and UK level, not fundamentally rooted in Brexit but exacerbated by it in some specific ways, especially through some companies removing the UK from their supply chains,” it said.


The UK’s exit from the single market has disrupted the previously smooth supply of drugs, for example through the creation of a requirement for customs checks at the border, as has Britain’s decision to leave the EU’s European Medicines Agency and start approving drugs itself. The UK is now much slower than the EU at making new drugs available, the report found.

You pick one country to compare with Brexit-UK

I only told you, that you could have picked one worse off.

True or not ?

And as for your "good chap" comment:

Your butthurt is showing, Troy.

Now there's a good chap

^ Numpty was having his usual go at Germany falling apart at the seams. There is no need to compare other eu countries.

Fair enough

Bit hard to guess what you are commenting on, when their isn't a quote in your post

That someone can continue to use the term 'scaremongering' regarding the monumental fluckup that is BREXIT is quite staggering.

Erm no I wasn't. I acknowledge the UK is in a mess, not all Brexit related as Seeking Botty Would have us believe but I was pointing out that Germany is also struggling, as are many other EU countires. The difference with Germany is that the EU depends upon it financially as it contributes roughly half of the contributions to pay for the 18 countries who are net takers in the EU. If German is in trouble the EU is in trouble.

I presume posters saw this gem last week and read the comments of the beleaguered British holidaymakers threatening to boycott Spain as this is "just because of Brexit...Spain is a poor country and they don't realise how much they need us."



What is Spain's 'PS97 a day rule' and how can I prove that I have the right funds?

Yet another episode in the "this is what you voted for" series.

Britain, the new coon state in Europe.

^ Indeed, the EU is admitting as many coons and ragheads as it can.

It shouldn't cause Britain any problem, she is 100% in charge of her own borders now.
