Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

UK has a North South divide. Realistically how how EU meant to keep 20 odd countries on an even keel.

Idealists. Not a bad concept but impossible to see through with a single currency.

Different cultures and temperatures to hot to work in the southern med. Countries so productivity not as good as in the northern ones. Expansion of Europe to fast the whole thing has got out of kilter.

Is the answer to get out? Not in my view as better to be on the inside trying to make changes then being a separatist Country on outside.

Arguments for both sides. I wanted out and we should stay out. Its a mess and 20 years ago it looked a good idea. Now we have had Frau Merkel inviting the middle east to Germany and telling the the others to share the burden. Sorry but no one signed up to that at Maastricht, Nice. Amsterdam and Lisbon treaties.

More reasons to stay then go CD I suspect will decide things in the end.

Germany is the €U, it pulls all the strings: Berlin says jump, and Brussels obliges.

So at last Jezza nails his colours to the mast. What a hypocrite! eh Fred. Desperation doncha think?

Blaming both sides, China is trying to say go to the table and negociate.........

China Says North Korea Crisis Is Reaching "Critical Point"

HONG KONG (Alliance News) - The North Korea crisis is reaching a "critical point," said China's Foreign Ministry, as it called for calm and a return to the negotiating table.

"Pressure, sanctions, threats can not fundamentally solve the problem," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Tuesday during a press briefing in Beijing. "The only way to solve it is to address the reasonable security concerns of all parties through dialogue."

"This is the only way to fundamentally cut off the vicious cycle of nuclear tests and military exercises," she said.

Glad to see somebody has a little sense!
