Statistics - the practice or science of collecting and analysing numerical data in large quantities, especially for the purpose of INFERRING proportions in a whole from those in a representative sample.

There are three kinds of lies, lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Here's a fact. Gold is up 40 dollars overnight, what's occurring?

I particularly liked this bit, how very true.....

''So the EU will do what it always does, pretend there is no crisis and hope it goes away. But it won't.''

The debate, if you want to call it that started when someone tried to characterised youth unemployment in 28 countries as being all of the same magnitude as the 5 worst, and suggested that fictitious level of problem is all caused by them choosing to be in the EU.

Err no, Crowcast your quote above is how you interpreted things.
Your ability to grasp simple dialogue is hampered by your reliance on Google answers.

I suggest you read ERV1's post this morning, take your time and digest it, you never know you might learn something.

What no misery in the EU.

I think Crowcast has lost the plot....big time :-)) .....The subject was misery, I happened to mention youth unemployment in the EU. Now look what's happened, too many googled sites emanating from Brussels. He's gone native lol.

Whichever way you look at those figures it indicates an awful lot of misery to me, but of course, its nothing to do with the EU.
BTW I wonder how much he's getting paid for all this promotional claptrap?

Rinse and repeat.
The European Central Bank will ease policy again if inflation fails to accelerate, ECB President Mario Draghi said on Tuesday, signalling one of the biggest policy reversals of his eight-year tenure.

After four years of unprecedented stimulus to revive the euro zone economy after its debt crisis, the ECB had been preparing markets for policy tightening, dubbed “normalisation” well that didn't last long Mario.

The problem is that with rates at record lows and the ECB’s balance sheet already swelled to 4.7 trillion euros (£4.2 trillion), its remaining ammunition is limited, raising doubts about the likely effectiveness of any further measures.
“In the absence of improvement, such that the sustained return of inflation to our aim is threatened, additional stimulus will be required,”

Best you threaten to do whatever it takes again then, still it will be someone else's problem soon.

Usually get John Logie Baird slipped into the conversation when the Scott's post things like "he was born in Scotland."

Talk about"range bound" Lloyds has done absolutely nothing for the last month, and the month before it started its descent.

Yeah, I guess when you read his posts there is very little if anything from Crowcast the person, most of it is copy/paste and links to his favourite pro European sites.

You call him opinionated and he calls you obtuse. Obtuse, you can't argue with facts CC lol.
So quick to try and belittle people.
Crowcast must have the last word, but not this time.
He's filtered me again, how many times is that now. I guess when you loose the argument that's the only option you have left.
Last time he 'forgot' about the filter and replied to me, wonder how long it will be this time.
So long loser.

Sorry for the double post, switched to beta view and back again when it wouldn't load, after that don't know what happened, oh well.

Alas Gotmiester, Crowcast is oblivious to what has and still is happening in the EU.
Every country has its problems but the distorted view of some ''remainers'' would have you believe anything that befalls hardship in any area of mainland Europe is not and can not be the fault of the policies coming out of Brussels.

Good to hear from someone who has seen this sort of thing firsthand as the mainstream media rarely if ever report everyday hardship over here, I guess it's not newsworthy.

Crowcast is too opinionated, he will never change, not even when the EU starts to disintegrate before his own eyes.
Maybe just maybe it has already started.

Sorry Mrs NC not LV not even L_Y.
Suns on me screen.

What was all that about LV, apart from highlighting the Scottish connection?

Pity his son wasn't so focused, he used to support the Labour party, well you can't win em all.

Patience A1 we're still heading downwards, we'll get there and beyond.

I see Deutsche Bank are reporting that they are seeking to set up a 'bad' bank that would house or sell assets valued at up to 50 billion euros.

Instead of one bad bank they will have two on their hands.
Typical European fudge/thinking, spread the s**t to make it look like less s**t.

Well well who'd have thought it, the Euro is not used by all EU members, thanks for that piece of info Crowcast.
Not long back from the ‘juicer’ some decent music this afternoon and believe it or not I paid in UK Pounds, just as well drinks were priced in pounds as I don’t expect anyone had any Euro’s with them.
Daaaaaah.

Your second point about trade is irrelevant as trade will continue anyway. Daah.

Maybe the EU wasn’t responsible for the credit crunch but because of the sloth-like way the EU operates, they still haven’t tackled the consequences hence the abysmal youth unemployment figures.
Try asking the swaths of unemployed youth stretched across the whole of the EU about misery. They’ll soon tell you all about misery, a whole generation lost.

Your original post inferred that European countries were on a par with NATO in peacekeeping, that's why I responded to your ridiculous claims. Daaaah.

I’m more a real ale person I don’t doubt you prefer continental larger, and there lies the difference, just saying.

Still deluded I see Crowcast and moving the agenda on to suit your own beliefs.
Your post was nothing more than a full-blown promotional rant on behalf of the EU.
Where was there any mention of NATO in all that dross?

I stand by that statement regarding economic interests, the only common thing is the Euro, (we’re not talking about speed limits here) it’s the one thing they all have in common and most wished they didn’t.
Now, of course, they have acted in harmony it is in their interests to now they are trapped into a currency they have no control over.
It may yet prove to be the EU’s downfall.

Never mind all this spiel about trade, and that’s all it is, promotional waffle. Trade will continue whether there is an EU or not just as it did before.

You wrote earlier about the need to visit more of Europe, I suggest you have a good look around and not just the tourist areas and you will see the underlying misery this so-called utopian experiment has bought.
Cooperation and support, by that you mean the support from the ECB in the form of loans, printing money and seizure of national assets for collateral.

Yes, it opposes ‘Orban’ as it opposes the rise of so-called populism (left and right wing), it opposes all manner of things but what exactly are they doing about any of it? The EU moves so slowly the agender has usually moved on by the time they take any action.

This was all about NATO, here's an extract from an EU propaganda source.

EU-NATO cooperation constitutes an integral pillar of the EU’s work aimed at strengthening European security and defense, as part of the implementation of the EU global strategy. It also contributes to Trans-Atlantic burden sharing. A stronger EU and a stronger NATO are mutually reinforcing.

Noble words trying to put the EU on a footing with NATO, more promotional bull s**t .
They don’t even pay the agreed 2% contributions, that would be more to their credit.

I’m going down the pub, cheers.

According to some, this coming week is going to be busy.
Let's hope you're all prepared as you've been waiting over six years for this moment.

I trust you are ready lbjj, if posts are to be believed you will be buying whereas most will be selling.
As for me, I'm off on holiday.
GLA

He never fooled me MrsN, the smarmy lying git.
And you've got 'Jimmy Frankie' you'll wake up someday lol.
