Oh I find the whole saga highly amusing, not least because one of the 5 banks doing the selling & so sharing the estimated £22million or so in fees is the British Barclays Bank!

Yeah it's pretty crazy.

Begging the EU for a loan and then the added benefit of the Netherlands paying it off.

Here comes Ireland with the first €15 Billion ....

Oh, damn and blast. When I read the title for this thread I thought the EU had come up with the idea of copying our NS&I's Premium Bonds. D'oh, how wrong was I?

Hi

Why are people so bothered about what the EU does?

We have already left and soon end Transition.

It really has nothing to do with us at all.

You don't see what the trading of these bonds has to do with Brexit?
Really?

Really?

Hi

Nope, not at all.

My reason for voting leave was that I wanted no further part of the further integration of the EU.

I really am not bothered at all what they get up to.

I am far more concerned with the mess our Politicians are making of it.

Then concentrate on that.

Pre-Boris was certainly not good as far as our duplicitous politicians are concerned.
Now is a different story.
There's no real point pontificating when we're in the end game though.
We will soon see how our current crop have really done.
