Re: Should we pull out of Europe?
 

I voted "yes lets get out"! I think we should be a bit selfish and concentrate on sorting our own troubles out without trying to get too involved with the rest of the EU's problems. That's one thing you can say about the USA - they do want they want, when they want to, but usually for their own best interests. I don't think we should go quite as far - but you know what I mean. We're too busy trying not to upset anyone and the country is going to the pits.

Well said...Shortstuff

Re: Should we pull out of Europe?
 

I also agree with you young lady, apart from voting YES, but that's your right. But I think you were a bit off course with "going to the pits" it should have read "gone to the pits"

The phrase is, actually, "going to the dogs" but the point is taken.

For those of you who are interested in such things it might be worth while keep an eye on what the Italian Government has to say regarding European Interest rates in the coming months.

Italy is massively in debt and has a stagnating economy, many there, including the Prime Minister, Berlusconi, blame the European Central Bank for not relaxing interest rates. There are rumours that they will threaten to dump the Euro and re-issue the Lira. This may have the effect of frightening the Central Bank into lowering interest rates. which in turn could open the door for other member states to blackmail Europe. Or if the Central Bank refuse then Italy will make good its threat and re-issue the Lira which will bring the whole fairy tale castle tumbling down.

It is said that the collapse of the Euro is unthinkable, but experience shows that it does not take much to translate the unthinkable into the inevitable, especially where paper money is concerned.

What kind of calendar are you using? End of 2006 is only a year and a couple of months away.

Not if the original quote was dated June 2004.

Sometimes it pays to read the small print.

I stand corrected.

Thanks for that one mate.

Gayle, you are going to have to sharpen up if you are going to catch Britcliffe. :D

Well successive promised referendums have come and gone, but at least seven years later, we can still have our say in the Accy Web poll.

:D

(No, it wasn't me. Someone else must have voted, and resurrected this thread.)

Re: Should we pull out of Europe?
 

Noticed this myself, thought I had gremlins, checked other posts and thought, yes dodgy bumped thread, cheers.;)

And it wasn't me:D

Re: Should we pull out of Europe?
 

Though it did seem rude not to vote, seeing as someone has revived it, after I saw that I hadn't when I was a teenager.

:rolleyes:

Re: Should we pull out of Europe?
 

Yep, couldn't understand why I missed this back in the depths of time. Predictably enough, a similar voting pattern to the one you started more recently.

What a pity that politicians on both sides seem determined to ignore the wishes of the British people. :rolleyes:

Still, with a new series of the X-Factor about to start, we do get to exercise our democratic right to vote on what we want the future to be.
