General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

In regards the financial crash of 2008, it may help to read this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crisis_of_2007%E2%80%932008

It mentions:
Sub-Prime mortgages.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Lehman Brothers. The largest bankruptcy in history.

No where does it mention that Gordon Brown caused the crash, or was in anyway responsible.

He is given credit for stemming the crisis in this article.

As far as brexit is concerned, I still believe that it will be an economic disaster for Britain.

Britain's contribution to the EU is not 350 million per week, but don't let facts get in the way of a story.

The UK budget is over £2,000 billion pounds.
The UK contribution is under £10 billion.

A lot of money, but only 0.05% of the total budget.
Not a bad club to be in. Look at the advantages.
