Dear Paul, nationalism is a desease.

@Paul, get over yourself. EU grants only cover a small fraction of infrastructure projects in Greece. The rest is paid by a mixture of Greek taxpayers, user fees, and private investment (public-private partnerships). And they generate economic activity. Britain, otoh, just sucks taxes out of Europe, because you’re a tax haven. You’re right: thank goodness you left.
