melthebell Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 We did have a really bad recession in 2008. It's been over for quite some time now here. Strangely enough not over yet in Greece. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the single currency. Nor do the problems in Spain, Portugal and Italy. It'll surely be some kind of mad coincidence. but none of em jumped headfirst into the recession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 but none of em jumped headfirst into the recession? Sure they did. They joined the European Unemployment and Recession Organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radan Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I think will be worse for a while. Don't get me wrong, I hope it's not. Tinfoilhat inc has battened down the hatches but we are susceptible to the waves of the economy as any other small business connected to the leisure industry. I can't up sticks to Germany or wherever so I'll have to hunker down like the everyone else. Right or not, the people have spoken. Are UKIP dead now? They cease to serve any purpose. Boris the Pro-EU man will take charge now Anti-Cameron has left the building. He'll negotiate a very EUy deal is my guess. That will upset a good number so Labour (under their new leader after their failed socialist experiment) will win in 2020 and everything will pretty much stay the same for everyone. Oh, and statistically, since the referendum closed, 950 Leave voters have died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They joined the European Unemployment and Recession Organisation. the recession was worldwide, countries like ourselves that dont have the euro fell into it too ---------- Post added 24-06-2016 at 20:08 ---------- Are UKIP dead now?

unbeliever Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 the recession was worldwide, countries like ourselves that dont have the euro fell into it too Not exactly worldwide, but certainly widespread. Some countries got through it largely unscathed, others had a small contraction and then recovered. Some (like the UK) has a large contraction, but still recovered some time ago. Some were in the EURO. For them it never ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not as much as the EU.........they're toast now as far as we are concerned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, I expect them to dissolve unless the UK does something nutty like joining EFTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some were in the EURO. For them it never ended. but not ALL or even most Euro countries so you need to look at the underlying factors of why they still suffered more, when others didnt, i dont think it can purely be down to the Euro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you happy about that? If it collapses now do you think we are immune to the fallout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
