Love the Germans me, been knocked down twice in a century and still bounce back, this time conquering Europe without a shot being fired. They must be due a trip down the main drag in Paris again, this time we give em a hand.

My Grandfather's and Great Grandfather certainly did all they could to stop it. I have visited Germany on at least 10 occasions. But remember, they are doing well because they lost the war. This is not uncommon. Japan did ok from it too. Funnily enough, motorcycles played a big part in it for both of them. This is a motorcycle forum, right?
Having said that a lot of the old colonies would be better off had they stayed.

We are fucking morons, and we can't deny it. We follow every bit of legislation blindly and without complaint, like a three-legged blind sheep on a bit of string. The French are much more pragmatic: if they don't like the legislation, they tell the EU to fuck off, take the EU grants, and then carry on doing their own thing, happy as Larry. A healthy disregard for authority is sadly lacking today...
The answer is simple, just do not pay and tell them to foc off.
we don't need them ????? who the bloody hell are you going to export to
I personally stick my flag firmly on UKIP's side, even if only for the economic common sense.
The Conservatives’ income tax cuts would give three times as much to those in the top 10 per cent as those in the middle, while lower income groups would hardly gain anything. Ukip’s would be similar, only more so. As for inheritance tax, it is only paid on 1 in 20 estates. People who live in Clacton or Heywood or places like it would gain little or nothing from its abolition, just as they have little or nothing to fear from the “mansion tax”. And where would the money from this come from? Ultimately, much would have to come from the disability benefits and state pensions on which many of the residents of Clacton rely.
Cough cough, half of Africa today, cough cough. Grandad was Govenor of the Northern Province of the Sudan during WWII, look at what a miserable state that country's in today! When many family members were white farmers in Zimbabwe (or Rhodesia as it was then), that country was known as "the breadbasket of Africa", it was producing so much food. Now look at it.
Eurostat arrived at the €2.1bn figure on the basis of new methods of calculating member states’ GNI since 1995, taking account of previously unreported or under-reported black economy elements, such as drug dealing and consumption or the sex industry.

How long before Mercedes Benz and BMW kick off, not to mention VAG. All those Italian washing machines. The list goes on. We import more than we export.Mickey
