		<description><![CDATA[What is the total “arrogance” of a post WWII Europe during which most countries failed 'miserably' in any legal context to even uphold the right to breath for their citizens, should these 'artificial institutions' so needed and so lacking then in human conscience, even imagine that they hold sway, clearly nothing has been learned. Pinning the “Rosette of Universal Law” on a donkey, is still a donkey with a rosette. What arrogance !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An independent Scotland that retained Sterling would have its monetary policy being set in London but without the Scottish Parliament having any influence on that policy in anyway. The alternative for an independent Scotland might be for them to join the Euro , if accepted which would be even more restrictive. Has anyone in the SNP ever thought just why the UK hasn't and won't join the Euro ?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Opposition is always difficult if only because the Government of the day holds all the cards, it is difficult to look anything but rather impotent for most of the time in the public's mind. This is made worse today by the inevitable narrowing of choice as dictated by the current economic situation. In the end though, only change is constant and just like Cameron in opposition had to accept the then accepted wisdom that the economy was doing well under Brown and he would "share the proceeds of growth", so too today Labour has to accept the logic of "cuts" albeit belatedly]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The support for the individual citizen remains the same whether in Kent, Antrim, Ayrshire or Powys because that over the decades is what being part of the UK is about. It has taken hundreds of years for us to get to this place something the EU can never manage today and won't achieve ever.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To my mind the topic reflects upon a fundamentally flawed and infantile society that refuses to face the reality of mankind's existence both in the past and going forward, as being one of difficulty and pain both mentally and physically. A bit like natural birth being replaced by "C Section" deliveries so let's "top and tail" both life and death, mechanically as a consumer service administered by the NHS !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many ways it has all become a "race to the bottom" and has been that way for some time, but it may become irrelevant. The ability to turn out hundreds of thousands of smart phones and like products beautifully made and competitively priced becomes pointless if no one has a job and therefore the money to buy them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The very worse thing that anyone, especially a “Sunday Atheist” like Hitchens could have is a drooling, dribbling Eulogy” from the likes of Richard Dawkins, the “Jeffrey Archer” of published atheists. An insult that is on a par with Barbara Cartland reciting a eulogy over the corpses of Romeo and Juliet, very sad ending indeed if not downright insulting !]]></description>
