I'm assuming there's a big problem in Scotland with all those half GPs?
I didn't see that in the article though.
Have these GPs with just a bottom half been properly trained on how to write a line by holding a pen between their arse?
I think we should be told!

If nothing else, this is a laugh.
The comments below the line weren't what I was expecting.
Scathing of the article and of Johnson who apparently according to more than a few is a "buffon".

Christ you're thick. I explained that outside countries are also tied to the ECB via an ERM and as such are called upon to keep the project afloat. Sorry if you can't get your head around that.
It doesn't explain how yer "ponzi scheme" hasn't collapsed yet, Euro member/ERM or whatever.
Post some sources. Academic ones preferably.

I've just described it very clearly to you, I'm not sure how I can make you understand if you still don't get it.
You don't understand how a "ponzi scheme" works. You described the Euro as a "ponzi scheme".
To run a ponzi scheme you require new investors regularly to pay for those already involved. If this isn't the case the whole thing collapses. I fail to see how Croatia joining 8 years ago, but not using the Euro maintains a "ponzi scheme".
If you don't understand this very simple fundamental, you can't possibly understand more difficult stuff.

I filled up there today ( I live there, and I was needing it as it was 3 or 4 weeks since I last filled up), and it was definitely busier than normal.

You clearly don't realise many countries outside the euro are tied to the ECB, similar to the ERM. Other outside countries are also constantly called upon to assist in bailouts.
For example, the UK was called upon to bail out Ireland to the tune of 7 billion in 2010 alongside the ECB, who have, incidentally allowed another property bubble to develope over there.
Like I said, do some research.
You're apparently the expert. You called the Euro a "ponzi scheme". My limited knowledge of this term is something like the Farepack debacle.
If you don't know how a "ponzi scheme" works then don't use the term.
It makes you look ignorant particularly when you're discussing intricate political and constitutional affairs. Just saying.

I never said Croatia was in the eurozone, did I? Do you understand the difference between the EU and Euro currency? Dear me, you don't seem too bright, how about getting off your SJW arse and doing some independent research?
"Ponzi Scheme"
Definition:
A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often promise to invest your money and generate high returns with little or no risk. ... With little or no legitimate earnings, Ponzi schemes require a constant flow of new money to survive.
.....no "new investor" since 2013. Five million people. Doesn't use the currency.
f**k me.

To get back on track though- shortages in fuel. Nae HGV drivers. Gaps in ordinary goods on shelves. Medicines (including MS stuff for myself and Calpol for small children) unavailable. Limited storage for gas, particularly compared to our European "partners" (and prices MUCH higher too).
Things are great, no?

The ECB set the interest rates acros the eurozone, all eurozone countries have to then have the same financial bubble inducing practices (construction and property, for example).
To stop the whole thing from crashing, new members are constantly touted to offset the effects of constant bailouts of money they never really had.
I think you'll find that is a Ponzi scheme. Sorry if that's difficult to understand
So Croatia, who was the last country to join the EU in 2013 and doesn't use the Euro is somehow (with 5 million people) keeping an EU/EURO ponzi scheme from collapse?
I've had your Ladybird Book version. Give me the detailed version if you like as that synopsis was the dictionary definition of talking out your arse.

There's f**k all difference between the EU and the Nazis. They're certainly both run by the Germans.
I might be wrong but didn't the Nazis always huckle people "for zer papers", burn books, murder people on an industrial scale and all that?

Scotland would likely be corralled into joining the biggest Ponzi scheme in the world, the euro.
Indulge me.....
Give me the Ladybird Book of "why the Euro is a ponzi scheme". I'm interested.

You don't agree with the EU system but it's largely the same here.

So a 15 year old wouldn't be able to vote then?
Thanks for clearing that up.Dawson said previously he thought the voting age should be 21 years old.
I would assume they would also have to provide proof of a membership of a "quality" golf club, evidence they own property in a non SIMD domicile as well as owning a car (NOT on finance) with at least a '61 plate.
But not a Dacia.

Oh dear, you really haven't done your homework have you?
The 'parliamentarians' as you call them or MEP's aren't as democratically elected as you think. Are you aware if an MEP resigns there is no by-election, his replacement is appointed. Not very democratic is it.
And for the commissioners, it may trouble you to learn that they are appointed, not elected.
Just like list MSPs here then, no?

That's the garage in Cairneyhill run out of Diesel. Farmfoods are out of slabs of various fizzy pop with the manager admitting that further supplies "are unlikely".
Iceland's shelves beside East End Park were the sparcist I've ever seen. Couldn't get some of the everyday stuff the kids like. All empirical drip drip stuff I know.
I also noticed the prices had gone up ten pence here and twenty pence there.
Let's face it- if you are on a low income, you are facing an extremely bleak six months here.

I won't be voting for him. Scotland won't vote for him. The red wall won't vote for him. The shires won't vote for him.
Another term for the Tories.
