It's A Good Job We Are Out of The EU.

The EU has just decided to produce £500 billion pounds to ease CV-19 problems across the bloc. (I saw this figure reported as 'pounds' but do wonder if 'euros' was the word intended.)

Had we still been in the EU, as with the Greek financial meltdown when we were forced to pay £9 billion to that nation, with barely a week's notice, we would surely have been bled dry as Brussels would inevitably have insisted that we contribute a huge proportion of that figure.

How then could any UK government have possibly spent the multi-billion pound funding necessary to ameliorate the knock-on effects of the virus?

Instead of our economy being hammered - it may well have received a death blow!

There are already many rumblings throughout the nation states of the EU which are suggesting a possible implosion of the bloc.

We are well rid and escaped only in the nick of time.
