Is it me or our MPs who live in Cloud Cuckoo Land? As a country we have more often than not imported far more than we have exported, which means we do not have any money! The only cash the government in its coffers is borrowed from International Lenders.
As with most Brits, I have Toy Town Money in my bank as does every other ordinary person. We are all spending Toy Town Money every time we buy food, a car, a house, or furnishings for the house.
How can any British government which is living on loans think it's okay to give ANYTHING to foreigners who we know stashes it away in "off shore" banks.
