    The EU isn't even represented as one shade such is your lack of intellectual rigour.

    But it's not??..

    It's done indivudually even Switzerland is couler in ffs

    How are the debt to gdp ratios comparable when you don't know how much gdp each country contributed to the euro zone



    Your basis for establishing facts is flawed at best?

    Correct, it is in different shades, to make the information more detailed and accurate.;)

    EU debt: 87.4% of GDP (2013)

    UK debt: 90.6% of GDP (2013)

    So if the EU is finished then Britain is finished Mary because its Debt to GDP ratio is even worse.

    But it has assets as well as liabilities, old chap. Which put it as wealthier than EC countries.

    It hardly has assets which accumulate to more than the the eu/euro zone combined??

    A somewhat desperate throw of the dice??



    A simple quick look shows France and it Italy combined have more than it.....but do continue


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,549 ✭✭✭maryishere


    You used the word "combined" - not me. lol

    So we are to take it that when you are referring g to eu/euro zone debt your not referring to its combined debt???


    Somewhat strange logic

    So now that your 'the EU is finished because of debt' claim has been exposed for the bullshit it is you want to move the goalposts?

    Embarrassed for you. :o

    no, debt relative to size / gdp.
    We all know the EC is much bigger than the UK.

    Surly most accurate way is to measure percentages in this case????
    As figures rarely lie #mathlove

    Which JT has shown UK to be higher :confused:



    Though trying to suggest the uk had more asset thing was gold :pac:

    Mary is using the Homer Simpson strategy of internet discussion. Let them keep punching you in the head until they're exhausted and then push them over.

    It drew a significant number of leave votes though. Fishing areas in Scotland, East Anglia and Cornwall came out very strongly against it and the Scottish fishing industry has warned the SNP against running an independence campaign based on rejoining the eu.

    But they're probably xenophobic little Englanders.


    Every council area in Scotland voted to stay in the EU

    Have you a source for that as the latest data on wiki suggests EC debt is far higher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_debt#/media/File:Government_debt_gdp.jpg

    Hell will freeze when you provide sources for all your 'facts'

    It did, yes.

    In the fishing communities though it was very close, as you well know and the SNP are in danger of losing an influential supporter.

    I think you will find that I'm not.
    The 1916 rebels would never have accepted Ireland being in the EU as it would taken away its Independence. Free movement of people for all citizens who live within the EU and you can't control it at all. That is simply not Independence.

    Sean Lemass was a rebel as a 17 year old in the GPO and strongly supported Ireland joining the EEC.

    Free movement has a number of controls.

    As an Irish man living in Britain I have met a total of zero people with views like Mary's. In other words I don't buy it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,111 ✭✭✭Christy42


    I just find it odd that people would champion on something like that..

    I feel like it is a bit of an ask to remove the UK from the continent of Europe. Of course a country's policies will be affected by their closest neighbours.

    I'm getting fed up with the whole thing!

    We're only *just* over the 2007/8 meltdown and things were looking good and among came the Brexiteers with lots of bluster and no plan.

    How the hell are you supposed to run a business in this stupid part of the world?

    Just seems we've gone from reasonable run of stability to just crisis after critics.
    I suspect we are on our way towards being more like Latin America.

    I'm inclined to agree with you - but then, I'm one of those whinging Remainers!
    I wondered why Cameron went ahead with the Referendum - and better informed posters here reminded me that it was internal Conservative Party pressure.
    How much Sovereignty do we need?
    Immigration? Where I work we have Poles, Romanians, Hungarians, French people - even Welsh! Most are sound, no problem.
    Have to add, though, that this country is getting very overcrowded - it's a relatively small place with a large population.
    We have to follow the democratic will of the people. Why? [Got into trouble for saying this before!]. How many voters were aware of the full ramifications that might/will occur as a result of their vote.
    The Brexiteer leaders have slid away into either obscurity or comfortable new careers.
    Cameron is gone - he should have stayed.
    "We are not leaving Europe". But, in a sense, we are - after 42 years. We lacked commitment.
    Will the Eu collapse? I doubt it, it won't be allowed to happen.
    Will we survive outside of the EU? We have to, so we will - but to quote Bette Davis " Fasten your safety belts, you're in for a bumpy ride".

    And after all that, the claims and counter-claims, the removal of the UK from the European Union, they make this "discovery"
    All EU nationals currently living in Britain will be allowed to stay following Brexit, after the Home Office discovered that five in six could not legally be deported.

    Daily Telegraph: Every EU migrant can stay in UK after Brexit: all 3.6 million to have residency rules or get amnesty

    What say the Brexiters now?
