May you live in intersting times

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I thought the EU had already collapsed after the Greek crisis, or the Spanish Crisis, or the Italian Crisis? No? What about the Portuguese crisis? Surely it collapsed in one of those already? ;)

It's not a case of one collapse killing the EU, it's crisis after crisis gradually whittling away at the foundations.

If you look back eight years to 2008 you can see that after each crisis the EU is just a little bit worse off, a little bit less "in this together".

It took the better part of a thousand years for Rome to fall, we shall not be so lucky.
