[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 3516176, member: 8735"] Well, it was in the Guardian, so it must be true and have no 'slant', honest... :rolleyes:. But, joking apart, when Mark Carney was giving post-Referendum interviews last month - and generally winding back on the pre-Referendum doom-saying - he said at least twice in re' questions around the hyperbole about a, then, potential Brexit, that the 'hysteria' was much like that about British exposure to Ireland during the Euro crisis - to be fair I don't think he did the word 'hysteria', that's my paraphrasing from memory, but the sentiment remains. Now, hard figures are literally hard facts and I'm not going to pretend otherwise; and there is no doubt that a screwed Irish economy wouldn't be a great help to the UK. But, to paint it as some sort of 'financial Armageddon' for [U]us[/U], isn't a reality either. However, since you have raised the subject of banks, overseas exposure etc., aren't [U]they[/U] all arguments [U]for[/U] the EU and the UK to come to a decent rather than a punitive deal? The more I hear Jean Claude Juncker and co. say that there can't be a good deal for the UK because [U]that[/U] would mean others leaving the EU, the more convinced I am that the EU is on borrowed time unless it returns to a free trade area and no more. And, as the EU's chief negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt, has set out very well in his latest book 'Europe's last Chance', the EU can only become more unified if it is to survive, because the 27 states simply can't agree sufficiently often is sufficient time for the system to run 'efficiently', that will only happen as [U]a[/U] [U]single[/U] [U]state[/U]... [U]Europe[/U]. [/QUOTE]
