Yep, apparently if we criticise how the EU economy works and and is run in Germany's favour we are somehow obsessed with the war and over sixty. There are plenty of things to admire about Germany....and plenty of things not to admire about it....Its government isn't one I admire nor how it has shaped the EU. Plenty of EU leave voters weren't always anti EU. This movement is against federalism and free movement....not against close relationships and cooperation within Europe.

What would restore sterling to its pre euro-vote status? Call them up PM and tell them we are staying in the EU. See where the £ goes then......up up and up.

The Euro is a financial instrument designed and maintained by Bonn to keep German exports cheap and for Bonn to hold control over weaker Eurozone countries. Look at the circumstances of Greece and Italy since the credit crunch. Germany controls hose economies, has rendered both countries in hock for this and the next generation and as used its control to replace elected politicians with their own stooges.
