( recession my arse ) I totally agree. As George W Bush is alleged to have said "This mother fxxxer is going down". This is something else indeed. However I was just, as an unbiased observer, speculating upon the future of the euro, which to me is just the cement by which swivel eyed europhiles hope to unite the un-unitable.

The euro makes sense, one worldwide currency even more sense.Too many are making absolute fortunes once again on currency trading at this moment, and will continue to do so with a vigor as its now one of the only ways left to rake in massive amounts for doing feck all. It is the credit crunch , now it is the currency crunch. Prices are fluctuating by up to 25% daily, and guess which currency is just waiting to be exploited, and rightly so. Ive been waiting 6 days now for prices out of China which neither agents or factories are willing to give at this moment. Why sell at a quoted price, even on an up front payment, when you can wait days and add another 30%. Yes you can hedge the currency if your brave enough and dont mind giving the parasites in banking yet another cut.

Interest rates now down to 0.5% and still nothing moving. The only people who benefit from this are those who already have a variable rate mortgage. The rest just can't get one. Kick start the economy? Boost spending? Get credit flowing once again? Well seeing as how we now own large chunks of various banks, how about issuing ourselves with a (U,K. only) "Peoples credit card" , call it "Spendthrift" or something and set the rate at 2% above bank rate. I could use one of those

If we become 100% "European" by the end of this year, then shorty after wards Sterling will cease to be the currency of the region. Question: Will our "National debt" then become a "European debt" and as such will it be dispersed throughout all European regions?
Thinking along this line, will our Parliament be, along with the monarchy, disbanded? I could be persuaded to buy into that.
