The pound is unworthy

[PM-Junkie]

There must be a reason why these people from other EU (and non-EU) countries want to go to the UK rather than stay in their own countries or go to other prosperus EU countries and I rather think that it has nothing to do with the EU old chap....

It's because we're all such happy, smiling, welcoming, warm and friendly people...

[darmstadt]

Maybe let millions from Eastern and Southern Europe into our country?

Sounds threatening.


Maybe the EU will force us to contribute more?

Make us pay 25% extra for our food?

Or over-regulate our economy?

And destroy our Fishing industry?

How much worse can it get?

The UK is part of the EU so if all of the above were to take place then the UK would have been party to it, non?

I thought we were party to this already ?

There is a mounting anger in EU circles over the slide in sterling, seen by some as a deliberate 'beggar-thy-neighour' policy evoking the Great Depression. "The 30pc fall in the pound is the biggest devaluation by any country in the single market since it was created in 1957," said one ex-commissioner. "There is going to be a serious political reaction to this in coming weeks."

Sounds threatening.

Mind you the cost of leaving the Euro could be astounding.

Printing money (establishing mints in many cases)
Conversion of currencies in bank accts retail and wholesale outlets and businesses
Legislation
Central banks
Taxation

Probably loads of other factors.

I can't see changing currency as being a cheap operation to do in times of extreme financial stress.

More irrelevant dross from the ECB. The British economy isn't welcome, but tin pot economies like Greece are. Well go figure.

Why on earth we would want to join a currency when the balance of probabilities is that people will leave it now that it is become more and more apparent how screwed the eurozone is is beyond me.

Agree! It's a joke - and in another 3-4 months when it sinks more we can laugh at the cheese eating engineering twats

Blaster isn't a cretin

[David_Cameron]

With such an incompetent Government, we can only expect our economy to suffer at the expense of our electorate.

Lies, lies and yet more lies.

[sasguru]

Did you read the article, cretin?

"The pound's recovery this week from near parity to €1.09 may help blunt criticism. The euro's Winter rally is petering out as grim data emerges from across Europe. "

HTH

[BlasterBates]

The pound .....is funny money

Oh dear for all those hoping the UK could get out of it's Ponzi scheme by joining the Euro wil be disappointed. The ECB doesn't want it.
