Do you know what DTLW . I reckon you may be onto something there . Also I am sure people have left the party following Corbyn's Leadership win ( no idea how many ) , but 15500 have joined . FWIW Labour don't have a snowball in hells chance of a 2020 election victory no matter who was leader , 2025 may be interesting .
Great explanation, Vin. It's what I've been saying for years - we need to be in Europe, as the market is there, but we do not and should never embrace a single currency. The way the cracks have been papered over to let the likes of Greece, Spain and the Eastern European countries in by fudging their figures, means that pretty soon the Euro will collapse ...............
I never have had any real enthusiasm for the single currency, even though I'm a confirmed Europhile. We certainly have to be within mainstream Europe but there is no need for a single currency. Modern technology handling the financial side pretty much makes a single currency redundant. It's all a virtual thing anyway. The Euro is a principle/symbol on which countries can eventually be more politically and culturally tied together. The thing is, we're very different and we should embrace those differences, not try to trample over them. I still have some Francs and Liras somewhere. I've got a heck of a lot of Confederate money too. Although that's from bubble gum.
Really? Saying 'it's a joke' to saying something she reported which wasn't true is not befitting of the BBC and what should be expected. You can't say something that isn't entirely true when you're a BBC presenter and when someone pulls you up on it, claim 'it's a joke'. Not even a decent excuse. She was having a dig with an unfounded comment and he - quite rightly in my mind - put her in her place.
