The primary reason for the German economy entering recession was their reliance on cheap Russian gas; and the costs of finding and paying for alternate fuel (with the large infrastructure costs) – but hey, let’s attribute it to Brexit somehow.

[theshedman]

"but hey, let’s attribute it to Brexit somehow" Isn't that exactly what you do for anything that goes wrong in the UK Hymie, blame it on Brexit.

This reads like one of Cassandra's speeches in the famous Agamemnon by Aeschylus. In greek of course. using a few aids - dual translaton and commentary.

I will battle on - despite the predicted hail ( predicted geddit?) of AB one-liners - " Who she den?".

Germany going into recession is a big deal: it is the largest economy in the EU innit. They traded some of their prosperity for peace in Europe ( bit opaque that: sozza).

and will it affect us, now we are out?
yes I think the answer is...

[Peter Pedant]

Oh yes,
I agree - German love of Russian energy

Merkel as she went out the door- said "I have been wrong for 20y"
I felt sorry for the old gal

Nobody was blaming it on Brexite. It was just an example showing that all is not perfect in Euland that brexit whiners pretend it is.

This reads like one of Cassandra's speeches in the famous Agamemnon by Aeschylus, which I am reading slowly. In Greek of course. using a few aids - dual translation and commentary.

no one reads my posts anyway - OK a few do, just to see if I am cussing someone

[Peter Pedant]

Brexite - is that er Latin for - -" go Brexit!"
I think it might be

( from Ite missa est, the Latin mass ( end of))

[Peter Pedant]

Well this post isnt exactly gemutlich !

sozza I will go

[ToraToraTora]

hymie, no one is blaming anything on brexit, this is called "irony" - it's emulating you, you blame everything on brexit, geddit?

[youngmafbog]

He wont get it. Chomping on sour grapes for 6 years seems to rot your brain.

[Gromit]

Er, that DT link doesn’t work..

[Gromit]

One of our biggest trading partners going into recession is hardly cause for celebration. It will have adverse repercussions for us, possibly pulling us into recession.
But the Europhobes are a blinkered lot.

[douglas9401]

I think irony uses more subtle ways to make a point.

^That's just football fans doing what they do up there.^

The City of London has just been placed top of the list in the latest trading and investment tables as well. Tut tut after all that spin predicting the opposite. Bad news on bad news for the EUSSR lovers. Without our money the German economy is busted. Why do you think that they were so keen to close down our manufacturing ability? Our farms are beginning to wean themselves away from the bribe money paid not to grow our own food. Les Grenouile farmers will all have to do a shift now that the prices they could charge us are taken off them. They will be burning their own tractors in anger next. Haha. They almost had us on our knees and held hostage to their supply chain but we woke up and cast away the shackles. We still have people amongst us who collaborated with them to enslave us all ... give them short thrift.

No one's economy having problems is a good thing. The point being made was that the naysayers of Britain, who apparently prefer being ruled by an unelected foreign elite who seemingly can do no wrong, as the sun shines out of somewhere on them, are clearly mistaken to claim Britain is going to be way behind everyone else, especially EU memers
because of Brexit, as the latest data shows.
