Greetings - somebody (Ranger) opined that he saw the end of the European idea - I don't.
They all know or should, that the Union is the best way forward from many points of view not least financially. It should be remembered that the EU was seen as a joke when it was the original seven, because of the progress made more countries joined including Ireland.
Because of the currency speculators "another joke was launched - The Euro" in answer to the constant shellacking that individual currencies were being subjected too by the big funds in the US and the UK, who simply played pump and dump with national currencies like the Lira and the Punt amongst others.
Perhaps our new friend from Salford can tell us where the Euro stands now in relation to the Pound and more to the point, where he sees the Pound going in the forthcoming RECESSION...
The Europeans are not by inclination over generous, particularly the Dutch who know the price of everything, but really any group would be irritated by the antics of the Greeks and the Italians. Europe has come through a lot since the formation of the Euro whilst absorbing all the small impoverished countries and Poland,freed from the Russian yoke with the collapse of the Soviet Federation.
That it might fall apart now is very unlikely, there is after all strength in solidarity which is not always appreciated by some of those smaller nations but I see no inclination in any of them to rejoin the Soviets.
Now you ask me about Britain and its links with the two other nations Wales and Scotland - there could well be a breakup there - even the "Loyalists" voted against Brexit having proved that they anybody's for the right price.....
Good luck all - hope the camper van is keeping clean during lockdown.
