Brown says we're doing great

[sunnysan]

Idiot

Gordon Brown says the European Union must make fundamental economic changes to face up to the era of globalisation.
He pointed to the rise of China and India and says Europe is falling behind in skills, growth and enterprise.


Why does he say thsi about the EU and then do exactly the oppisite of what he is saying in the UK.

Since when is overtaxtation, excessive beaurocracy and massive public service expenditure been facing up to globalisation?

About the only thing we manufacture now is home made explosives in Birmingham.

IMHO the difference between us and the Chinese and Indians is that they have a desire to work and they have massive national pride - both sadly lacking in the UK

The English are not permitted to have a sense of "National Pride", lest we upset the efnics!

The ones used on 21/7 though were quite possibly outsourced to reduce costs.

"Touché" I think John.

Nope - couldn't agree with J.C. more - Government policy has eroded our sense of national pride with their ridiculous human rights laws and they are slowly eroding our national identity as well - Damn them all to hell
