This guy's having a laugh isn't he...Thought he was only interested in decimating our armed forces..... Hague speaks ...in other words, we'll never get a referendum as the debt crisis is gonna take 20 years or more to be finally resolved. Edit: - "Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Cameron says that Britain is in danger of getting swamped by EU legislation and bureaucracy which he would like to see scrapped" - Aw man, you gotta be kidding us! Really? Too much red tape & pure B/S? |

Why the euro banking union is doomed to failure "Despite the concessions from Germany, Merkel also emphasised that she retained the power to block too liberal a use of the bailout funds. Banks could only be recapitalised directly once the new supervisory system was in place "in the medium-term" and she would be able to veto any such decisions. The decision to waive the preferential treatment for the bailout fund on the Spanish rescue was a one-off that would not be repeated in any further programmes, Merkel said". |

God protect us from liars, thieves & politicians.... ...however, in this case, just protect us fron one with all 3 traits...... "Observers say the former Prime Minister appears to be raising his public profile in Britain, and clearing the decks about his financial status, before making a return to a significant political role There is growing speculation that he wants to become the next European president . After a low profile, he gave two BBC interviews and was guest editor of the Evening Standard last week. No one from Mr Blair’s office was available for comment last night". |

Gawd, if this idiot gets the position, the eurocrisis will be guaranteed to last 30 years or more...... Who does he think he is.....God? "However The IoS understands that one job Mr Blair may be offered is director general of the World Trade Organisation, a post that comes up next year. The current holder, Pascal Lamy, is French and has served two four-year terms, and diplomatic sources have hinted that a British candidate would be in a good position to get the job. Even David Cameron is understood not to be opposed to Mr Blair's possible candidature". Gawd help us! Even Del-boy is unopposed to this - he know something we don't...like Del-boy being guaranteed a high paying position in 2015 when he & his muppets lose the election? |

Looks like Europe is, again, beginning to pull the rest of the world into crisis.... No pulling the wool over my eyes here, America will be in recession by the latest January 2013. Euro gloom spreads across the Atlantic The above headline from Sirius's link is misleading, It should have said... ...Euro gloom mirrored across the Atlantic The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. |

Gawd help us! Even Del-boy is unopposed to this If he cared more about the UK than of himself why does he not do something useful like promote our industries abroad. He's made loads of money gained from his experiences as our once Prime Minister if he's genuine then he should put something back in it's place....or is he just totally selfish?? I know the cats got her cream and wont share it with anyone...meeooow!

Hollande struggles to re-brand austerity How about "Hollande Sauce" (© Chris S) C'mon Sirius it's a no-brainer. Absolutely no-one from the general public, to both sides of the House of Commons, and the other place (as they call it), wants to see Blair back in to front line UK politics, ever ever again. Shunting him sideways as DG of the WTO effectively gets rid of him. nice pay packet though..... ..along with some nice free holidays, worldwide travel, lavish lunches with his "new" cronies........ |

With all these summits & meetings, every time there is a photoshoot with one of the Eurozone leaders, there is always the Euro flag as well as the Flag of that leader's nation.... ..until it comes to Britain...... What's up Del-Boy? Does the Union Jack insult you? BTW, like the tie, but as your government is a coalition, shouldn't it have some "Yellow" in it? |

Hmmn, wonder if anyone noticed anything in all the reports regarding this issue? Del-boy on Peckham's referendum From all reports to date, it seems that should there be a referendum, it won't be straight forward as many think - It will not be, In Yes or No/Out Yes or No, but the question will be worded according to the politicians views. Do they really think the electorate is that dumb? |

I can't make out his mind-set at the moment, either he's dumb stupid or he has a sly trick up his sleeve. At the moment he's in the prime position to be able renegotiate Britain's terms within the ECM. The Euro lot are struggling and want to keep it all together so their resistance to any UK requests to change our terms is pretty dam low. He says this isn't the time to renegotiate due to the Euro currency crisis occupying all ECM members time. Cameron's a descent chap in'e, very magnanimous of him but do you think this would be the way if it was, France, Spain or Italy wishing to renegotiate their terms. You know dam'd right it wouldn't be. They'd be straight in now taking advantage of the oppositions weakness so enabling them to get more of the changes they wont. But not Cameron, oh no, he's got to play the true gentleman and apply the rules of cricket. Slight problem here, David; they don't play cricket over there and certainly don't apply the rules of fair play when it comes to getting what they want. Now then, either Cameron has got a trick up his sleeve, which I can't think what ot could possibly be. Or, we have a Prime Minister with no bottle because he lacks confidence in himself? Can you think of the last Prime Minister we had that actually had any bottle, for we sure seem to lack this in our lot.

Just the two Nick... Yeah, laughable isn't it? A couple of years ago, the media did a survey... some answers about winnie.... "Wasn't he a popstar in the 60's? "Wasn't he a famous journalist?" I'll have to go for another degree....should pass it wih my eyes closed! |

Can you think of the last Prime Minister we had that actually had any bottle, for we sure seem to lack this in our lot. So answer me this: - Just who do we believe? Edit: These events are occuring are they not? Or are we just dreaming a "Walter Mitty" Scenario? |

Hey Chris, have you thought that it might be the other way around and that their slowly taking our viewpoint.

Political Correspondents - There are a few that are in with the "in crowd" and are able to report what people in "power" really think. Confusion reigns supreme here in the UK because none of us really get to know what our politicians really think, but quite clear on what they think across the channel...doesn't seem right somehow...
