Sometimes (most of the time if truth be told) I wonder how one so immature ever got a job teaching.

No, but Blue Labour have just comitted to pumping billions into these countries. I could just about accept us contributing to the bail out of Ireland (as our national interest is interwoven so much with theirs), but the thought of our money going to Portugal and Spain makes me very angry. People have talked about cracks in the coalition between the liberals and the conservatives, but imo the real cracks will be within the Conservative party if Cameron continues to ride roughshod over the Right of the party. I can see some Tories defecting to UKIP before this parliament is out.

Idealists lol. Get in the real world.

Why does this not surprise me.

You lefties must be seething at the fact that everything you've ever believed has been shown to be nonsense. Nigel Farage and UKIP has consistently voiced a message on Europe and they have been proved right every time. The tide has turned and people like you are now sounding more and more bonkers.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned DSM.

It was always going to fail, and it will eventually fail. The only way it could posibly survive is if boom and bust were a thing of the past. Another recession will come along (despite what Gormless Brown told us) and when it does EMU will not be bailed out again - the people of Germany will not allow this to happen.

The tourist pound is not important, what is important to an economy is business. By being out of the Euro Sterling has been able to find it's natural level just like currencies of Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain would have. The Euro will fail at the next crisis, but it will survive this time IMO. It's a totally unsustainable mechanism for such disparate economies. The EU bureucrats want a Federal United States of Europe and EMU is the best way for them to achieve it so they will plough money in to keep it going this time. I believe that Portugal will follow Ireland and will require a bailout because the contagen has set in, but Spain probably will just about scrape through.

My grand dad was a farm labourer at Bexhill-On-Sea at the start of the war, and my dad watched the battle of Britain in the skies. Sometime after he and several of his brothers and sisters were evacuated to the Stevenage area, whilst his eldest brothers joined the home guard. Dad told me that the sky was black with planes - must've been a amazing thing to see.

What I post is the truth. You might not like it, but I say it how it is. As Churchill once said "you have enemies? good, it means you have stood up for something sometime in your life"

I've just received a DVD through the post from the UKIP (produced by the Europe for Freedom & Democracy Group) http://www.EDFGroup.eu with an acompanying letter from my leader, Nigel Farage, asking me to tell everyone about it. Please watch this video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5v_rS_uif4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twXnIJqGtcA

This is good news for Ireland an Greece and Portugal and Spain is it?

Maggie was right again.

The more I think bout it he looks more like Lo Pan out of big trouble in little china.

That serge fella looks like the yorkshire ripper.

I'll quote it so he can see it and respond.

why the edits?

Found him quite funny for a pompey fan.

You can **** off. I want to nominate at least 10.

It takes one to know one.

ha ha ha, i thought the exact same thing.

A Warrior but not a General. He won't be happy about that.

View From The Bedroom would love me to hate him but everytime he posts it makes me chuckle.

The reason Africa will starve in the future is because of politics. It's a fertile continent. Rhodesia is a prime example of a once productive commercial farming nation that has become a wasteland of subsistence farmers.

It's no surprise that David Millibands geeky brother is a champion for the left wing climate change lobby.
