Lost Generation

Guy in the bar said....shame about the jobless kids.....are the jobs really going to immigrants ?
If so..where is our former leader,Tony Blair,when the opposition party needs an experienced voice,well,your guess is as good as mine,but I bet there is money in it,where ever he is.....

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.
