Comments by "Nigel Johnson" (@nigeljohnson9820) on "Twenty years of the euro: a brief history" video.
@dinis8271 the euro is as unstable as the dollar. It is running on funny money, or QE as the central banks like to call it. It is also toying with negative interest rates, a feature common with most of the world. The world economy is sick and distinction. The EU will not be immune from the coming depression. The support for brexit in the UK is stable, having voted for it three times now. If the UK is suffering. It is the effect of being in the grip of the EU parasite for forty plus years. It will take time to recover from such a serious infection.

@rod9829 it seems to have aged very well. I predicted that it would take a long time to recover from the EU parasite infection. There is no chance of the UK rejoining the EU. The EU has been confirmed to be corrupt. It will take time to return the UK economy to profit. Brexit was not an end in itself but a means to an end. It required a UK government that would take advantage of the opportunities it provides, so far we have lacked such government.

@everythingerina9379 The conservatives have fail, but so have a number of previous UK governments, including Labour. It's possible to argue that all post war UK governments have failed the UK population and the country.The conservatives fail to take advantage of Brexit, but more importantly failed to stop the UK joining the fledgling EU in the first place. The state of the UK economy is the result of the same myopic ideology, vested self interest and corruption that allowed the UK to join the common market, so in that respect there is a connection with Brexit. It is still an open question as to the damaging effects of EU membership, and if it is fatal. The consequences of membership were predicted in the recently declassified foreign office document FCO 30/1048.
