Europe bursts out of its post-Brexit blues

looks like the Brexit dream of a collapsing EU isnt going to eventuate as they'd wish, those Brexit negotiations just got that little bit more difficult for the UK. lol

@wtf

After careful consideration of your argument, I'd ask you to consider the following：

Nyah, nyah! Rule Britannia! Two world wars and one World Cup!

@lucabrasi, after careful consideration, two world wars that were won with a large amount of help from America and USSR, without them, Oh Britannia would now be Hail Hitler. one world cup that was a fluke and Oh so long ago.

@Luca... now you've done it... if WTF is American we'll get the usual rhetoric about them pulling our bums out of the fire, etc.... lol

Back to the topic at hand, and I wish articles like this would stop saying things like Britain voted to leave the EU... a majority of those who voted (not the majority of people eligible to vote) to leave based on falsehoods.

Yes, I'm a 'Remoaner' and proud of it! :)

Nyah, nyah! Rule Britannia! Two world wars and one World Cup!

That's the spirit.

Unforunately, in 2014 Germany won the World Cup for a fourth time. It's now 4-3 to Germany :(

I think we beat them in alcohol consumption per head though.

@wtf, Thunderbird, Jim

Sure did haha. Should have added a few lines from '10 German bombers' though to make sure all readers knew you're either the real Nigel Farage or severely mentally impaired (or the severely mentally impaired Farage himself).

@goldorak

Well, seeing as he was so popular recently at an Alternative fur Deutschland rally, that's one ditty he might like to refrain from....

The EU has made impressive progress. Greece's youth unemployment is now down to only 47%, Spain 39% and Italy 37%. (Always helps to remember what base you're coming off of when describing "progress").

If the Europeans can avoid another drawn-out Eurozone crisis -- and the multiple bailouts and austerity they inflict - those impressive numbers above may even improve further.
