		<description><![CDATA[This picture of the G8 Leaders sitting around a table together, is very symbolic because whilst they can arrange a meeting and deliver a conference, the one thing that they can&#8217;t do is deliver their electorates. Solving the Euro crisis would be simple if either the Eurozone countries opted for a “United States of Europe” [...]]]></description>

I posted a comment against the article and as a result got some interesting replies. Often most replies on this topic are a waste of time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently the former &#8216;Dark Lord&#8217;, an European Groupie if ever there was, Peter Mandleson has put forward the idea that we should hold a UK Referendum on an IN or OUT basis. As someone wryly commented, a proposition that only a person no longer seeking elected office could make. Of course it is more likely [...]]]></description>

The truth is that for all the noises and echoes of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to the economy, Governments can make things worse with bad decisions and thereby increasing the tax burden but they don't have the ability to makes things better, unless it is by slashing public spending and therefore reducing taxes. And like it or not, wealth creation is down to the private sector through ingenuity or Acts of God that give a nation natural resources.]]></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[....interesting articles to read because of themselves, they reveal and underlying thrust and direction which is totally alien to British perceptions and the very wide gulf is not one that could “bridged” in any kind of negotiations. To want out of the EU is not to be anti European, it is merely to recognise that it is not an organisation that we in the UK will likely ever fit into....]]></description>
