We have to embrace Europe

[sasguru]

According to UN figures, the UK has the 6th highest output of manufactured goods in the world, behind the US, China, Japan, Germany and Italy (though I think France have overtaken us since these figures came out).

But hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good rant.

Typical PM. Gets a headline figure and doesn't analyse it further.
Doh!

Surely we should be embracing Asia?

[BoredBloke]

UK makes in large quantities these.

Pound would have to drop to a gram in order to export these

We do export them unfortunately we can't make them thick enough to not be able to find their way back

If we have to embrace Europe it will be with our backsides on the top of Dover cliffs making raspberry sounds. And there's nothing wrong with living on past glory, unless you're a BBC wishy-washy imperial apologist.

We don’t produce anything worth buying and are living off past glory. Our currency becomes more and more worthless each day. It’s time for us to ditch [our currency], embrace the EU and sponge off the French and Germans. Discuss.

You mean, like Ireland and Spain have?
