That's all! The bit about "the people that matter" is IMO, bulltulip.

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostThat phrase "the people who matter" has to be a wind up. Even an EU functionary, with their head in the clouds, isn't that dismissive about voters at least in public.
He must be just trying to stir things up for Brown, with the aim of actually making it *harder* for him to peddle the idea of us joining the Euro.
The implication is that the EU don't want the UK in the Euro for now, or ever.
Though I do find it hard to imagine Brown wanting to join the Euro and cede "control" of the currency (unless of course he imagines a bigger playing field).

Going it alone
is becoming increasingly untenable, at least countries in the Euro zone can rely on their currency.
The pound dropped 2% today. Looks increasingly to me that staying with the pound is suicide.

"I know that the majority in Britain are still opposed, but there is a period of consideration under way and the people who matter in Britain are currently thinking about it", he said.
