Well that theory has been well & truly scuppered, so I think it's time to eat humble pie & join up with the rest of Europe. Our little country with little or no manufacturing capability & an ever smaller voice in the world of politics should just wake up & smell the coffee. Euros surely? Dollars,cents, Pounds & pennies.

So let me tell you how it really is. With Bush & Blairs plains since in power.....you must know by now what they were being the most crooked politicians ever in power across the pond consecutively, the result is showing now of their work. They are richer, everyone else is worse of. With neo-con emmigration policies, matters will only get worse. You're all in it for the long run people. No ones going to get rich quick except those that fooled you! You can clearly see by some of the predictions stated above that no one really has a clue. So let me tell you how it really is.

There is a global crisis but against other currencies, the value of Sterling has plummeted in comparison with that of the Euro. The values of our homes, our holdings and our stock have all fallen. The cost of importing raw materials for the manufacturing industries has escalated because we have to use “weak” sterling. Most of our manufacturing base disappeared years ago, so we don’t make much to export, anyway. A short while ago we were told that the UK was the fourth richest economy in the world. This was mainly due to the trust in the City and our service industries. Were these more lies and propaganda? We should immediately launch a bloodless, military attack on Brussels and Strasbourg and let the EU armed forces win. We would then be forced into the Eurozone and the governance of this country would be in the hands of more competent and experienced politicians! The British people would then be able to have the benefit of the same standard of living, education and training and health care as that enjoyed by the citizens of mainland Western Europe. There’s many a true word spoken in jest! We have been fed so much anti-European propaganda by those who, either don’t know, or have a vested interest in keeping us out of the Eurozone.

Let’s concentrate on the matter at hand. So, any intellectual out there can tell me when we are looking to come out on the other end of this horrid recession?
