Maybe the aliens.
What if there are no aliens.

It's surprising that the europhiles on here couldn't see this coming years ago.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostComment

I don't mean to brag or anything but I saw this coming back in 1991 with Britain's attempted entry into the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) - remember how successful that was ??!?
I realized all those years ago that there was a push to get into Europe (economically) but I knew back then that would have been a terrible mistake (me travelling extensively to Europe and observing this) - there were some countries that were poor in output per worker and poor in technological advancements, I saw the freeloading lifestyles that people had over there e.g. old ladies hat had never worked or married but were legally claiming their dead father's military pension etc., people retiring at 40 and living off the state etc. Countries trying to get into the European Community to grab money for their 'oh so needed projects'. A big mistake for Britain to join Europe in any capacity. I think Britain should pull out totally.Last edited by sbakoola; 30 October 2011, 09:02.Comment

I remember the struggles to shadow the deutschemark. That was when I realised that the euro would be a crock of shite for independent nations with different economies.Originally posted by sbakoola View Post
It was also when I realised that any politician must be thick as pig-shit if they still advocated it afterwards (stand up Ken Clarke, Tony Blair and any LibDem you'd care to mention).Comment

After all they can't be expected to know their role to any intellegible degree. They aren't qualified economists, doctors, or anything other than politicians. Hence why they can shuffle the cabinet everytime someone cocks up.
Supposedly they have an army of civil servants who guide them, regardless of who's in power. i.e. you can change the colour of the team in charge but the advice and recommendations may be the same.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
