“Less than 12 hours after first publishing what I would think is a pretty major story, it has now been burried on the bbc news site:
ECB stimulus surprise sends stock markets sliding
The telgraph are leading with it in their business section:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/
and the Times:
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/
The BBC will bury any story that shows the EU as anything less than an economic paradise. This suits Mr Cameron very well at this time.
‘European stock markets have fallen and the euro has soared following the economic stimulus measures announced by the European Central Bank.’ (Top BBC web link) is hidden away – proves it is further EU embarrassment for the UK ‘IN’ (Cameron and Co) campaign coinciding with yet another (guess how many) devaluation of the EURO. And at what huge cost…. do we (UK) end up paying for THIS – and WE are not even IN the EURO but we soon will be heading in that direction – it is already stated by Junkers- that the UK will have to merge our financial services into Europe that means goodbye City of London and hello Frankfurt. For us all UK -the City of London is huge world financial centre (including the World famous wide insurance services) it will inevitably be abused to prop up the failing EURO currency and eventually Kill it off. The EU hates our independent and distinctive currency as being a direct ‘threat’ to the dream. They want no competition (to enable) total harmonisation of all individual currencies into one bankrupt super state. Think Greece and Turkey have to be financed by EU enlargement. More money, for ever more money. EU Benefits for all, will mean big tax increases and zero on your personal savings and eventually any hope of a pension (paying big peanuts) will be for MEP’S only and EU Commisioners.
THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK IS GIVING THE BANKS MINUS INTEREST BANK RATES:
‘The ECB cut its main interest rate from 0.05% to 0% and cut its bank deposit rate, from minus 0.3% to minus 0.4%.
THE EURO IS PROPPED UP BY DEVALUATION OF ITS CURRENCY.
The bank will also expand its quantitative easing programme from €60bn to €80bn a month..’
It also means that it is trying to ‘force’ the UK Pound downwards. i.e. By making EU goods and services appear cheaper. This as a ‘Euro devaluation’ and whilst the UK pound remains strong you can see the money markets prefer the UK to the failing French and Greek economies which still have huge debts and bankruptcy looming.
All this from one BBC link hidden away .They cannot hide from real news. The EU is bankrupt.
Life will be better when we leave (as Norway tells us).

We need to leave the EU empire of Brussels, just as America decided to leave the British empire. The cost to America was far greater, as they lost the protection of the Royal navy, as well as the benefit of being in an empire far greater then the EU. But it was all worth it to have the freedom to make their own decisions.
Bit by bit, we have become a colony of Brussels. Freedom is what this is about.
As for the concerns of the Royal society, scientists/engineers and highly qualified personnel, will still be able come, as they always have. Besides we will have £55m each day to fund all sorts of research programs.
We will also regain control of our fishing waters.
“Bit by bit, we have become a colony of Brussels. Freedom is what this is about.”
While wholeheartedly agreeing with you, the remain argument is based on money in people’s pockets.
The EU has done what Gordon Brown tried to achieve with his benefits splurge – a client electorate who are unable to identify that the money the EU is showering on them is only what we have paid in less a handling fee and some charitable giving to less well off nations.
As the government is not preparing for Brexit it is not drawing up a farm subsidies policy so if you are a farmer receiving shed loads of cash from the EU do you vote based on your pocket or democracy and hope it will be o.k.
I accept the idea of short term pain for long term gain, but for many it will be the pound in the hand is worth two in the bush.
You will also note that virtually all media attention is on the risks of leaving. Few, if any, are looking at what is around the corner for the U.K. as the EU Titanic sails blithely on with Germany at the wheel and an increasing number of countries in steerage.
But then we are told farmers will loose £330m in EU subsidies, but not told this is equivalent to 6 days payments for being in the club. what frustrates is that people can’t work this out.
Whether we stay or leave, the values that made Britain great have all but disappeared. A post EU GB wouldn’t be a patch on a pre-EU GB. The currents running through the entire Western world today are going to lead to our destruction in or out of the EU, just like everyone else. General Jackson makes a good argument (among many others) in the Mail today that a Brexit would lead to the break up of Britain and Britain quite possibly losing it’s seat on the UN Security Council (probably replaced by the ‘EU’ if it makes those final steps to a US of E). Disaster awaits whatever way we turn, probably best to avoid more imponderables then we already face.
