Which way should Britain go?

[Old Greg]

Time to accept the inevitable and apply humbly to be admitted into the all-conquering Chinese Co-Prosperity Sphere. These guys have a work ethic. We don't. Ergo they win. Best go in voluntarily on our own terms rather than wait unti lthey own us.

[BigTime]

Leave the EU.

Set up by ourselves.

The Aussies and Canucks make their own Laws, control their own Borders and set their own Foreign policy. And all with smaller populatiions and GDP than the UK.

Why can't we be more like them?

NAFTA? NAU and Amero to follow.

Oz no doubt has a free trade agreement or 2.

At the rate Sterling is collapsing, I think adopting the Euro.

I went to Hungary a few weeks ago - bought some Forints at HRX at 262Ft to the £. It was cheaper to buy fuel in the UK with that sterling than it was in Hungary. (normally 370Ft to 420Ft peak)

Now that was scary...

Yeah right, give control of our economy to the European Central Bank. After all the ECB has done wonders for the Italians, Spanish, Irish.........

Perhaps someone somewhere wants to buy something that is made outside of the Great Britain.

I know it is a remote possibility - but it could happen.

perhaps the currency markets are making corrections to the Uk economy such that we will one day once again have any money at all.

Despite my facetious reply to dear Dodgy, I think there may be desirable economics for our export trade for this to be true. But I don't know about such things as macroeconomics and M3 money supply, perhaps someone more enlightened can explain?

Why is a high value of Sterling so desirable?

Because I want more bottles of Dreher, Borsodi and Törley for my pound.

Fair point

The good news is that the Priory accepts payment in £ Sterling

Shun the EU and become bonafide 53 state of USA

Must we wait for 51 and 52?
