As a Briton who now lives in Europe and isn't coming back, saying Europe needs the UK to counterbalance Germany is like saying the dinner table needs excrement to counterbalance the food.

Maybe when the UK has trials and convictions for the corrupt liars who deliberately brought the country down, as if, but as it is, the danger of the contagion spreading is too great.

Also, the American conviction that Latinos aren't "white" never ceases to amuse me.
