Germany Panics Over Brexit – Largest Newspaper Begs Brits "Please Don’t Go"
By Tyler Durden
It appears the reality of the rising probability of Britain leaving the EU is dawning on the rest of Europe. So much so in fact that Germany's Der Spiegel magazine unleashes an English-language front-page urging “Please Don't Go! – Why Germany needs the British.”
As KeepTalkingGreece reports, the special edition with the English title will be sold in in the UK at a r<span title="?? ???????? ?? ?? ???????? ????, ??? ????? (2,90 ????), ???? ???????????? ? ????????? ??? ??????????.
