He isn't going to show any concern about that because, just like your Tory mates, he supports the rip-off that is the EU.

As for the chicken farmers, his "concern" is well out of order. He even brought it up in parliament the other month. He's the MP for HYNDBURN not BLACKBURN. If Blackburn shopping centre was having problems, would you expect him to be "showing concern" about that?

Better shut up before I get my knuckles rapped for thread-hijacking! :o

A bank is somewhere I put my money so that thieves can't steal it. 'The bankers' look after it, give me a little bit of interest, lend it to others more needy and make that interest back plus a little bit for their trouble, and thats just peachy, everyone's a winner.

Then I lose the plot...why can 'the bankers' dictate government (or European) policy? They produce nothing for the community, they don't defend the community, they don't provide for the community.

They take risks to make more money and when they fail they make the community bail them out, they pay themselves massive bonuses (even when they screw up) at the expense of the community, and they wine and dine world leaders to influence government policy at the expense of the community.

So maybe, just maybe, the Greeks who are arguably the founding fathers of democracy, philosophy and modern civilisation, are leading the pack once again.

But then again, maybe I'm just thick!

Much in the way of politics and political favours seems to be bought and sold...there isn't much done in politics(these days) because it is morally or ethically right.

Since he is the power behind all Europe's money supply, it will happen.
