And in further good news, the UK is almost doing as well as Greece.

It's an economic miracle.

Like a BLT, it is with mayonnaise it seems.

Unlike EU banking and currency problems.
Unlike EU unemployment.
Unlike (still) Euroscepticism with both Austrian and Italian elections soon.
Unlike an effective strategy for continuing migration problems.
Etcetera etcetera etcetera.

5Stars suffer setback in Italy’s local elections

The Euroskeptics were hoping to build momentum during the local vote, which was the last relevant electoral test in Italy before a general election, which must be held by the spring of 2018.

But according to final data, the anti-establishment party of former comedian Beppe Grillo was excluded from the runoffs in all the big cities, with mainstream parties’ candidates prevailing.

System

Looks like the EU are planning to try and legislate Euro clearing to an EU country.

That's a few thousand jobs even if we seem to have suddenly lost interest in GDP.

hallmark

Aggressive punitive behaviour from the EU will unite the UK nicely against them

Brexit here we come.
