Maybe if Cyprus had not have become independent, it would be as wealthy as Gibraltar right now and wouldn't need to be bailed out.

This is where the EU project will fail, The hard working north are not going to keep paying out for the lazy 'hasta manana', siesta loving south.

It matters not, I am more than confident that the majority of the UK have decided to out an end to 53 million a day into this sink hole.

Cypriots value more than just money, it wasn't long ago GB had its own IMF bailout (76).
EU is too big to fail.
And GB is too scared to leave.
You should just concentrate on keeping Scotland from breaking the UK into little pieces.

2 No Vestige of a brain.

How old are you? 37 YO or younger? I bet you don't answer this truthfully, if at all.

So the UK had the IMF bailout because of the Labour party scum 37 years ago, so what, we paid everything we owed, unlike The Dark Country.

No, just like your shitty hole, the LatMeds don’t like paying their way so they hate Merkel because she isn’t stupid like the EU mandarins and refuses to waste more money on these wastrels. GOOD.
