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.

I am inclined to agree with you based on cost/benefit assessment. I think at the end of the day, these are temporary noises which should be ignored. Whatever happens, the world/countries/people will adjust themselves.

In fact, many companies are benefitting from the crises as there is no new investment, no new company or bank result in monopoly.

How many large bank exist in the world which can be relied on by big countries? The number has rapidly declined. That's extremely good for those who survive.

lets get out close our borders send the migrants back home .
then the uk will get back to being a great country not full of migrants
taking benefits that they have never put into .
we do not need a vote we all no the result

Congratulations.

The tories destroyed the manufacturing and heavy industry base of the UK in favour of the Service industries and "city".

This government represents the "City" and is financed by it i.e, in hock to it.

Cameron and Osborne have sacrificed the well-being of the UK and Europe for their political needs.


Some are interested in their legacy or place in history. I would think next to Chamberlain and Bliar.

Europe was fed up with the UK and are probably glad to see back of the UK.

The financial centres will move to from the UK to France and Germany.

Sheer madness and the UK will regret it.

-----------------

All I have heard from our gallant heroic duo and the phobic tory right, is "what we want and get from Europe" and "not can we achieve with Europe".

Political adolescence.

I think UK will stay out for now, then come back when details are clearer.

Cameron should understand that the UK will benefit from Euro(pe) as soon as growth come back. No matter if we are in out out, but joining no is better now, when crises are at its peak.

Leave Germany , France and its bust mates to it I say ... come home Cameron.

From a Welshman :-)

Wonder if Scotland will join when they leave the Union ?

We'll never go bust here in Wales skinny ... keep sending the subsidies :-)

Scotland.

Yes.

fred . i get nothing out of the uk being in the eu nothing only pay more tax .
i can not even get medical free when i go on holiday we have to take out insurance
yet all thses immigrants coming here get them free and you can not get to see your doctor because it is full of immigrsants and yes i do have the facts as my sistr in law is in the business they are over run by them the doctors in spain and france sayyou payme and i will see you.

Oh well , they'll be in worse state than Ireland in a few years then.

greece is bust because no one thinks they should pay taxes and they are not on
there own . greece will never change get in a taxi and all they want to do is rip you
off so they lose out go on the bus

Only reason France and Germany are doing anything now is because it's in their own interest to do so ... remember how they refused to help us the day we were forced to withdraw from the ERM ?

fred what do the taxpayers get out of being in the eu .
i can think of nothing only immigration

of the new finacial tax it wants the uk to pay 81%of it .
and the german and french 6% and 4%and then they want to control
the finacial sector in the eu .
has no one told them it is them that are incapable of running a soup kitchen

All expenditure for Euro group countries on a Friday should be through Quidco, IMHO.

eg,

All Boots pharmaceuticals through Quidco are 10 off with 11% Cashback when more than 90 is spent, so that would be a doddle.

For the next 24 hours there's 9% Cashback for M&S if the spend is more than 30. A doddle.

Total saving of 235 at Sky: Join Sky through Quidco by 15 Dec to get Sky TV in time for Christmas. Receive a 100 M&S voucher, up to 135 cashback, 2 month free Sky Movies trial and 6 months half price Broadband Unlimited for new customers joining Sky+HD TV with Movies 1 + 2 and Broadband Unlimited and Talk.

Earn 140 Cashback at Vodafone before 11 Dec on all 18 or 24 month handset contracts.

Interesting the Euro-zone is said to have all the problems, but the Euro is up against the pound.

Since the coalition is in "charge", or looking for the next U-turn, how much is sterling down against the Euro and dollar.

Devaluation with no upturn in GDP

No expectancy of even short term growth which is generally expected.

But, Bulldog Britain is showing true grit.

I would prefer to have Blustering Cameron on the lead and the Bulldog leading him.

But he sure thinks he can lay down the rules for 20+ other countries.

--------

What is the population of the UK and that of the 17 or 20+ Euro countries?

He is -------------- into the wind and its running down his trousers.

I see the Trade Balance came in 1.9B better than expected.
