What country would borrow £9bn to
give to an organisation...which will then
hand it to a bankrupt country...which will then
hand it over to some banks (who have already discovered that it could not pay back its debts)
...and finally default on repaying the £9bn?
Um, er, would it be the UK, perchance?

Vote UKIP. :y

Vote UKIP. :y
And if they ever got in.. their policies would suddenly change to be exactly like the lot we currently have, I bet.

One thing this country is very good at, in fact a world leader, is sending its (OUR) money to worthless causes!
They want sympathy? Its between sh*t and syphallis in any dictionary ;)
If a country cannot support its population then it should not have had them in the first place!
B*llocks to the bleeding hyearts and do-gooders... they are the biggest cause of the problem but first to squeal when it affects them directly....
Nuff Said ;D ;D ;D

But fuel prices need to be increased, public services have to be sold off, due to a lack of funding >:(

No way of predicting that tbh Aaron, but the point of voting for them is that if they start taking a significant slice of the vote and even winning some seats, the Tories will have no option but to move back to the centre right of the political landscape, which is where they always were until Thatcherism ran its course. They lost their way then. ;)

I do tend to agree with you, really, Albs .. I'm just exceptionally cynical when it comes to politicians :)

Me too, but any party which constantly argues against the ludicrous EU experiment gets my vote evry time. ;)

Agreed.
But that £9billion is small change compared with what we now find we have got invested in the likes of Greece, Italy etc. It will end in tears. Buy gold. :y

The time to buy gold was really a few years ago, when it was $300/oz.. ah, hindsight ;D

Is it just me or is the eurozone going t*ts up? :o ;)

Downing street isnt much more than an admin office these days.
The EU has control over our purse strings on many of the real important matters - such as propping up the euro, which is a currency borne from political ambition and has no sound economic basis, and is therefore doomed to failure imo. Its not if but when. We are throwing good money after bad - and we dont actually have any money to throw at it.
We need a govt. with a backbone and British interests on its agenda - somewhere near the top of the agenda would be nice.

Seen elsewhere. A letter to an MP who voted for the IMF payment:
No mandate. No discussion with the electorate. No regard for the masses of people losing their jobs, livelihoods, homes or businesses in the midst of a domestic recession. No regard for an economy in deep debt and failing daily.
No conception of the deep hypocrisy, irony, and contemptible insult of the mantra "We're all in this together".
No, just the same, relentless, ideological crazed obsession with the useless, corrupt and irrelevant European Union.
Above all, no understanding of the deep, and growing, loathing on the part of the electorate for a political class seized with some sort of collective insanity.
Couldn't have put it better myself. ;)

At some point in the not too distant future they will have cut loose one of the pigs (Greece probably) and when they do its just a matter of how quickly the whole thing slides down the slippery slope into the toilet where it belongs.
It will cause a whole lot of pain for quite a few years to come, and we will only have our leaders to blame (and ourselves for allowing them to get away with it) for taking the country down this cul de sac.
On the bright side, it will save this country from ruin in the long term.
Believe it or not, Tony Blair has said again, in the last week that the UK,s future belongs in the eurozone. He no doubt knows that it will do untold damage to the country of his birth,and which provided him with his fame and fortune, but he still wants to be president of the U.S.E and it would be embarrassing for him if his own country wasnt a fully committed member state of the U.S.E
The phrase "self serving" doesnt begin to describe him.
God I hate that bloke. >:(

Spot on Albs ......Get us out now I say
What makes me laugh even more are these so called experts who said the Euro was the way to go .......And how many of them now would be saying it now as europe seems to be going into melt down

Two polls in as many days show that 50% of us want to leave the EU. There is a glimmer of hope...at least when Cameron goes. :y
