And so say all of us.

You are joking of course, aren't you? Peace and prosperity?...cooperation and progress?...riots in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy...savage cuts in living standards, just so that the doomed euro project can stagger on for a few months longer...a totally corrupt organisation whose own auditors have refused to sign its accounts off for 14 (or is it 15?) years running...a totally contemptuous attitude towards that rides roughshod over national sovereignty...a demand for a 4.9% rise in its budget, when all governments are reducing their national budgets.
And as for your fatuous "And so say all of us" line, do we really? Tell you what then, put it to a national referendum and see if "all of us" say that. You along with Graham Jones, David Cameron, Ed Milliband and the rest of the political establishment know what sort of answer you'll get!
