His response was in part, “We’re going to be very, very, very tough with the UK, because we want to make sure that no one else leaves.” But [member states] should believe that the EU and the euro zone are bringing such benefits that no one would want to leave! If the only way you can get people to stay in is to say, “If you leave things will be so miserable. We caught you in a cage and we’re not going to let you out,” that’s not a way you sell.
Oh the mighty EU looking after the usual selfish money grabbing arrogant self centred so called diplomatic caring assholes. SO, Britain wanted to leave these load of wankers. And now their buggered that someone has the balls to say fuck you lot. HAHA nice. So now one twat shows the way they think. EU kiss our ASSES.

If you want to look back at some of my posts I have said all along that the Euro was a mistake and I am not an economist nor to I play one on TV.
