Of course Germany is acting like a task master, would be a scandal if they wouldn't. It pays the biggest part of the bill!

so it may be... Better a destroyed European Union, that endlessly burning money in a corrupt Greece, a state which has worse fiscal discipline than the worst latinamerican countries.

Greece, gtfo!

The amazing part is that anyone would offer the idea that Germany is “the task master”as if it should come as a surprise. Every country, who joined the EU, know up front that Germany would always pull the strings and would never allow anything that might implode their country.

That said, it sounds a lot to me like Mr. Soros has not given up on the idea of destroying Britain. He just keeps harping on the idea that the EU must print more money, just like the US Federal Reserve. George Soros doesn't say or do anything, unless it will benefit him and harm Britain.

you won't believe it, but must germans can fully understand and support UK to step out of the EU. They do not see this as an offense, but as a plausible step. Most germans would love to do the same... no more compromises to mafisoso states like Greece.

Britain is a member of the EU for only one reason and that is to protect the banking elite of London City. If Britain actually wanted to be a REAL member of the EU, they would have ditched the pound for the Euro. London City isn't stupid... just super greedy and, when the EU flies apart at the seems, London City wins BIG TIME. And, considering how the Rockefellers have been maneuvered into having the Fed bail out Europe, London City (the Rothchilds) will likely rule the world all by themselves very soon!
