Cameron is right to walk away from the Euro zone

Posted by michael on December 12, 2011

Cameron did the right for one reason and one reason only.

The Euro zone (not the EU itself) wanted to finance itself by taxing the UK financial industry!!! We are not in the Euro zone. It is inconceivable that this should be allowed to happen.

The UK needs to tax the UK financial industry for the benefit of the UK!!

The Euro zone is a major disaster waiting to happen. It is a stupid idea for so many diverse nations to have a single currency – it just cannot work anywhere except in the imaginations of politicians who want to benefit from the power (and money) that such an organisation would give them!

I find it sad that the Libdems have lost the plot so completely that they would give away the inevitable tax on the UK financial industry and not be bothered about the need for this money to help the UK economy!!!

The Lib Dems have a strange idea of what is in the best interests of the United Kingdom!

The UK is not financing the Eurozone – so what!

Posted by michael on December 10, 2011

So Cameron has not committed the UK to paying billions in order to keep the Euro zone from collapsing into obscurity! Much of the media in the UK has portrayed this as some sort of  political disaster!

But the UK is not a member of  the Euro zone.

Why on earth is it a problem that the UK is not giving £70 million (estimates vary) to the Eurozone to keep it going!!

It seems to me that the UK press simply reports the negative and potential problems of any story because this sort of news is more dramatic and sells mores papers!

Cameron has done the right thing. I think that Labour, judging from their actions whilst in power, would have given the Euro zone anything they asked for!

Irish EU treaty vote

Posted by michael on October 2, 2009

The Irish have another opportunity to vote to accept the European Union Lisbon Treaty.

They got it wrong last time. They dared to vote NO.

Can you image for one moment that they would be having a second chance to vote today if they had said YES the first time?

This is not democracy in action.

This is politicians manipulating the electoral system until they get the result that they want!

New Labour did not even give the UK a chance to vote.  They said that they would but reneged on that promise.

The Conservatives said that we can have a vote. But they linked it to the result of the Irish vote. I don’t know why the link is there.

If the Irish say NO then the treaty is finished (at least for the next 12 months!).

If the Irish say YES then the UK must have a chance to vote for itself. I do not want to be bound by the votes of Irish people. That is NOT democracy.

The fact that Tony Blair the war monger could be the next EU president makes it even more important  that the UK has a chance to vote for themselves.

David Cameron – guarantee an election victory. Give the UK a chance to vote and accept their choice for the next 10 years at least!

European Election results

Posted by michael on June 7, 2009

The New Labour vote has collapsed. Perhaps it is because Gordon Brown’s handling of the UK economy is so poor. The UK economy is in a terrible state, the consequences are going to have to be massive tax rises to pay for the incompetence of those running the country.

The recent elections have hit Labour hard. They blame the expenses row. But the Conservatives have done very well in both the local elections and the European election. So have the Libdems. So it cannot just be the  expenses mess.
Perhaps people understand that New Labor and Gordon Brown are responsible for the expenses problems!

All the Labour people on TV and the radio seem to think that there is no competent person in the party who could do a better job than Brown who has actually got everything wrong. Perhaps they are right!
