Have said it before will say it again. Brexit is a smokescreen, everyone has focussed on this and ignored the real crisis brewing. 114 Italian banks are effectively insolvent and Italy is broke. The French economy is a disaster and no one can reform it. Deutsche Banks exposure to the derivatives market is 46 trillion Euros.!!!!!! Don't believe me, check for yourselves, if this goes badly it could bring down the world economy mot just Europes. Portugal is impoverished, Half of Greek households have no one in work. There are former Eastern European countries in financial crisis. The ECB continues to produce billions of Euros from thin air and what does history teach us about the consequences of money printing, it never ends well. Why would anyone want to stay joined at the hip to this!!. I do not believe that economic Armageddon will result from us Leaving the EU, not that we will, Democracy as they say is an illusion, the elite give us just enough to prevent a French style revolution. The World is bigger than Europe and big business always finds a way. Just remember, Politicians demonize Russia yet are happy rely on their natural gas, politicians can never be trusted, they are divisive, hate each other in public, drink champagne and shorts together in private.
