I actually think we are closer than some may imagine. If anyone thinks we know exactly what is going on behind closed doors they need to think again. We are now in the end-game and it's going to get madder as the clock ticks away. That's how EU politics works. They should rename the whole thing 'Zippos Circus' !
Not always. The EU is always happy to parachute a 'Technocrat' into a vulnerable country when they deem it necessary. I'd love to see them try that one on the Germans !
But bound by the ECB and € that they were ill prepared for and encouraged to join the gang. To the benefit of who?
In the case of Greece, Goldman Sachs. Lets remember that the culprits here were never taken to task and Greece was/is still massively corrupt.
On that I disagree with you 100%. That is not who we do business in the UK in all fairness. My original comment stands, that the stock MO of the EU. Always has been and always will be. That's because they have to get 27 different countries to agree on something, it's built-in to the system.
I could argue that the biggest culprit was the EU, they should have just said 'No' to the Greeks. But they didn't. Visited the Greek Islands last summer. It's getting better but yes there is a whiff of dodginess. Reminded me of Corsican politics !

I think it's finally dawned on Tusk that we aren't for turning, he showed real anger today, his hopes of another referendum are over and the possibility of us leaving without a deal is going to be on his cv for ever. A no deal is there worst nightmare , no compromise, no deal, it's your problem.
I know all about GS's cookery lesson but my point stands, the EU could have said 'Non/Nein/Oxi' but they didn't. They just wanted to increase the size of the EZ.
