That's losers talk ...Originally posted by SueEllen View PostUnfortunately you aren't allowed to penalise other EU citizens for fecking over your currency.

Unfortunately you aren't allowed to penalise other EU citizens for fecking over your currency.Originally posted by AtW View PostIf UK had same currency with Europe then it would be much harder for scumbags like Soros and other hedge fund scum to mount attacks on currencies.
At the time EUR did not exist (in proper form a it is now), so Major was really unlucky, his only fault that he did not teach hedge scum not to crap where they live.

Sorry about that.Originally posted by Mordac View PostNot entirely sure Edwina Currie qualifies as "interesting"...

I was thinking of the Tories back to basics campaign at the time where they demonised single parents and gay people but were busy creating single parent families, were in the closet gay or did things like this linky

All the parties were gunning to join the ERM then as they thought it would bring benefits to UK trade and bring interest rates down.Originally posted by ZARDOZ View PostFrom the man who cost us billions in a financial crash trying to force us into the ERM so that we could joint the Euro.

Brown when he got into office obviously got some good advice from some civil servants to the downsides of joining the Euro hence the mythical test conditions.

It's a by-product of being a Prime Minister, and very competent at that.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostPerhaps a by-product of living in the top financial city in the world?
So Major makes £850k per year, peanuts compared to Bliar who made tens of millions on exactly what? Major's consulting time is certainly worth £1k per hour, so he probably does 850 hours per year - part time job to keep him relevant and avoid boredom, well done - I am sure he also pays full UK taxes on the amounts he makes.Last edited by AtW; 5 June 2016, 16:20.

Remind me again, who was it that was campaigning fiercely for Turkey to join the EU a number of years ago, referring to his own Turkish ancestry?Originally posted by scooterscot View PostIn or out you'd be hard pressed to find yourself indifferent to John Major's comments. As he says, this decision is far to important. A decision that'll affect generations to come, and you might say otherwise if we remain, however the 'out' camp have provided no solid facts on what life outside the EU would be like. Only deceit.

And clearly, the way to get net immigration down is not to limit immigration but the ensure that more British people go to work abroad. The JobCentre could work with Eures to make that happen. Right now there are more than 1.8 million vacancies not counting the 61,741 ones in the UK.Last edited by m0n1k3r; 5 June 2016, 16:12.
