EU makes little progress

A guy in the bar said .....The EU made little progress in last weeks meeting.The main result,headlined as the end of the world in the UK's leftie press,was to lose Britains backing for the "treaty" aimed at giving Brussels full economic and budgetary control.
Personally , I would not let them control our cat.
One guy,politician I think,said the patient,the euro, is dying,needs an operation,and the European leaders are discussing building a hospital.A hospital that will need a referendum in some countries,and that most of the European people do'nt want.
Labour had little to say in Parliament,except that they thought the prime minister was wrong to disagree with their undeclared,unknown  policy on this matter (?).
Oh,and the secong biggest contributor to the EU,the UK,was now sidelined(?),

Cameron does a Churchill

A guy in the bar said...The BBC,Labour and Nick Clegg call David for standing up to European Dictators.
He did not scupper the Euro..he held out against German dictates as to how we run our country.
If saving the Euro means having the non elected overpaid Eurocrats run this country...they can stuff the euro...
At last we have a PM who is in touch with popular thoughts on this issue.

People defy EU demands

A Guy in the bar said....Looks like long memories in Greece,as the people defy German led EU demands
on their economy.Latest is a big increase in property tax,attached to the electric bill,.....no pay..no Electric.
Mainly the old and poor suffer here,Greek winters can be cold.
However,Vive le Resistance !....Bands of electricians have been formed to reconnect the old and needy.
Union activists have occupied the electricity billing offices,preventing bills going out.
Some councils have offered civic lawyers to defend non payers.
This begs the question..Are any of the actual people in Europe happy with the set up ?
The Daily Express in the UK has already had a massive response to questions aimed at renegotiating
the UK's membership,(if not leaving),but definitely a reduction in EU interference in the running of our country.

Who is Bernie Ecclestone ?

A Guy in the bar said..Who is Bernie Ecclestone ?..Is he a racing driver.?..He seems to hold some sway in a rather boring sport,and make a lot of money from deciding where races take place.He seems to hold some grudge against the USA,but their Indeanapolis  style racing and NASCAR seems more attractive over there.
Personally,I like race cars to look like cars.Which makes me wonder why Ferrari don't chuck this Formula 1 stuff in and go for Le Mans type racing in a big way.
The US NASCAR series also has cars that look like cars,probably why US car race fans follow it so avidly.
No,afraid Bernie Ecclestone and Formula1 are a bit like Tony Blair and the Euro,in that they are not really attractive.

A Good Night for England Sport

A guy in the Bar said...Yes,the Rugby league team beat New Zealand,the Four Nations cup holders,and now meet Australia in the final.Tomlinson  getting himself back in with the Rugby crowd,but his skills under the high ball are still a little shaky.
Most surprising,the 11 millionaires we call a soccer team managed a 1-0 win over Spain.Nice of them to turn up in a decent frame of mind,for a change.

Pay,and pay again,Pierre.

The guy in the bar said...Have I got this right ? The French bankers bought Millions of Italian Bonds,in their wisdom,now worth very little,and the French guy,in the bar,now has to suffer in the wallet.Vat going up,Taxes
raised retirement age,as in Italy,all through these bonus laden bankers ?
Not quite right...
