Cameron vetoes EU Treaty change

[Rascal]

. You read the new statemam blog yet?

?

Just found it, thanks for the heads up, much appreciated. I enjoyed the read so much i have subscribed to it.

As a person of the left much it said resonated with me, but it doesnt alter the fact i am pro european.

Hopefully one day the European left can combine and come to rescue the EU and its faltering economies

Well done there.

The far right shows its teeth once again

Thanks. The far left communists invite it upon themselves.

The solution is simple to me. We should go whole heartedly into Europe and sack our 630+ fuck up national politicians as they would be surplus to requirements. Our representatives in Europe can then show themselves actually doing something that benefits this country because up to now I have no idea what any of them has ever done to benefit this country.

Or alternatively sack those anonymous people on the euro gravy train instead

Instant savings on useless do nowts with their huge salaries, massive expenses, and of course not forgetting their ridiculously generous final salary pension schemes as well

Seriously mate - you'd get your point across much better if you spaced your words out a bit more.

Only trying to help.

Also the Whigs were the predecessors of the Liberal Party, not the Conservatives.[/quote
notassimpleasthatastherewasquiteabitofjockeyingforpositionandpower but thanks for the tip anyway, on a 28inch monitor it seems reasonable at this end

It matters not what it looks like at your end if you're trying to get your point across to others.

That is the point of a forum, I'm sure you'll agree.

Like I said, only trying to help.

maggies children seem cocksure that cameron played a blinder. Although based on wish and guess it seems the future is now much brighter,and it is only a matter of time before a referendum to complete the job and return to a splendid isolation.Apparently the EU need us more than we need them,as we have a voracious appetite for their goods( sausages maybe or onions) whilst we only depend on them for gas (therefore electricity) but even should they retaliate and double the tariff we can just put the price to customers up,problem solved.From it's inception the brits have been a disruptive member of the EU,probably less welcome now than ever before, retaliation cannot be ruled out,but our superior skills will easily cope,after all there is only 26 countries looking for pay-back.Trouble is,much as i would love to believe that the tories have the best interest of the country at heart and not just their pay-masters in the "city",nothing in their history,from the whigs to present day suggests they have.

Use fucking paragraphs and people may read it peasant.<br /><br />-- Sun Dec 11, 2011 9:48 am --<br /><br />

Cameron is protecting the financial institutions in London,not the British public interest,tories just making sure they can keep the ignorant british blob in their place.He,s put tory party interest in front of national interest.

Financial services accounted for a £35bn trade surplus last year — one of the few sectors that generated a surplus, as well almost 2 million jobs and it contributed £54bn in taxes. But yeah lets hand it over to the EU

Great that,didn,t get my share,take you did.

So you are just a wum?

This is about the City of London's contribution.

The City of London contributes approx 4% of tax revenue to the treasury or about £20bn.

I bet in contribued a hell of a lot more during the boom times. Double at least would be my guess.

Which is why were are having to cut public spending.

You can't have it both ways.

Why not come up with the figures then? Instead of making generalisations.

Fair enough. I'll look into it. If I'm wrong, I'll happily apologise.
