Come on TTT it is a start. A woman who has actually raised children herself, instead of one that tells all the other women how to do it. Plus she has lived outside the EUSSR "bubble" in the USA. Deep family connections to the old German aristocracy. She was accused of cheating mind, in masters dissertation. A forgivable Teutonic trait methinks. It is genetic after all.
Joking aside TTT, I personally still think the Germs are attempting through stealth what they failed to do with 2 world wars. And if that fails then they will have an Army (which will be built up by then) then it may all get rather unpleasant again.
Of course we could capitulate and be part of that EU army (Didn't a previous German Chancellor think we would join him at one point?)

If you think von der Leyen is a bad choice ( which it undoubtedly is ) the choice of LaGarde as the nominee for European Central Bank President is even worse............... "she too inflexible, has a dreadful track record and knows nothing about monetary policy
Some of the biggest budget deficits ever recorded. The deepest recession since anyone started gathering statistics. A conviction for negligence. It is hard to imagine what exactly it might be that would disqualify somebody from being made President of the European Central Bank anymore. After all, those are the major achievements of Christine Lagarde’s time in public office and yet she has just been elevated to what may well prove the most pivotal role in the global economy over the next decade.
The trouble is, Lagarde will lead the eurozone into catastrophe. Mario Draghi, the Italian she will succeed, was a brilliant economist who through his mastery of the inner workings of the financial markets just about managed to keep a dysfunctional single currency afloat. Lagarde is a lawyer who is great at making alliances and brokering compromises but who knows nothing about monetary policy, and whose rigid application of the rules, and commitment to the reigning orthodoxy, may well finally crash the euro."

a new fuhrer -oo la la ! or mein Gott ! - does it matter since we are on our way out?
// A pity the UK didn't propose Nige and Widders for top jobs.//
rather than absentees why not dead people:
A pity the UK didn't propose Churchill and Wm Pitt for top jobs.
LaGarde is incompetent but does that matter if we arent in the club?

// PP If the Euro goes south, will you be OK, will your tin-hat protect you //
who do you think .... you're kidding Mr Khandro.... ?
the last time I looked, I had a pound in my pocket - and that was because we crashed out of the ERM in 1992 which spectacular losses and gains for Stavros, - so we should be insulated ( ha! good word huh?) in case the euro goes down
( more so than if we were er using the euro.....)
