Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Stan,

Give the lad a chance.

stan have read it all. all one sided bollocks

their is no benefit to the working class in the eu or pensioners only long waits for doctors or hospitals

my family died fighting for this country they died in vane

their is not one good thing for the working class being in the stinking rotten eu

so come on stan give me some good things about being in the eu
but you can not

france
Germany
Italy
spain
Portugal
malta
begium
ever one gets a better pension than those in the uk
yet the uk puts in the most money

stan you will need time to find something so will give you a few months

the labour party is a party of dimwits who would sell their souls and family to get a vote scum

and of course MrT's rantings are fair, well thought out and balanced with no partisan slant whatsoever

no wonder no one can be bothered to respond

cynic so come on know all tell us a good thing for the working class being in the eu

cynic you post crap but never give answers just crap

what is working class for goodness sake?

a simple answer anyway .... you have a right to go and work in europe

.... and no, i won't enter debate with you as i really cannot be bothered with all your nonsense

fwiw, i'm currently undecided as to whether or not i would vote to stay within eu

AUSTRIA: DISASTER IN THE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE AS HYPO BAD BANK HETA COLLAPSES


When a company trading in asset resolutions resolves not to be insolvent, it’s a bailin. Why Mario Draghi and German banks are really to blame. How the Austrian Government lied about the real situation.




Once upon a time there was a AAA, badly-run Austrian bank – a whopper – called Hypo. But then a German shareholder Bayerische Landsbank gave out some idiot loans in the Balkan States, and the Bavarian subsidiary stepped neatly out of the way just before the solids hit in 2009. So Hypo became a broke bank thanks to a naughty German bank, and the Austrian Government bailed it out.

As is the custom in these circumstances, a ‘bad bank’ was created. A naughty bank is different to a bad bank, in that the NB sprays merde everywhere, and it’s all tucked away into the BB.

The clue’s in the name when it comes to bad banks, but until quite recently this one – Heta – was rated AAA Aaa by some ratings agency somewhere of dubious ownership. So not surprisingly, lots of money piled into Heta.

Of course, some small change to the tune of 5.5bn euros had been needed to set up Heta and write off the ordures. But everyone seemed to be quite happy with the way things were going. Until yesterday.

Because yesterday, “the first results of an asset review suggested a dramatic change in the asset evaluation”. Don’t you just love financespeak? They ‘reviewed’ the assets, and lo, there had been a change, and so the managers were sore afraid. The ‘evaluation’ of the assets showed a great big hole to the tune of 7.6bn euros.

facts our children can not go and work in the eu they would have to buy medical insurance as they would not get it free , unlike the scum coming to the uk
and they also get housing benefits our children get nothing

you carry on ranting away old chap

You couldn't possibly have read "all" on that website in 35 minutes Tanks, now go back and have another go.

TANKER , your a bit radical ! i wouldn't say all the foreign folk coming here are scum .

I am however fed up with our open border ,it doesn't take a genius to work out that the EU is now too big and poorer nations will flock here while we won't go there ,it's simple ,however Blair said he thought 10 or 15 thousand would come not a million .
Which makes him an idiot ! .

No, that makes blair a multi-millionaire enabler, laughing all the way to the bank.

Tory Blair was/is a very effective conman, ideal for a right wing agenda, surprised he hasn't joined the "real" con party.

You forgot Murderer as well..

How many "poms" are there in France, Spain, Portugal, Austria and Swiz?

PS.

Congratulations to Ireland in what for some looked like a walk over on Sunday.

Pity about the cricket, as well.
