Now this scares me more than almost anything labour have done over the past 12 years, we now have an unelected cabinet member who has been forced to resign due to unethical behaviour on a number of occasions stating that the UK is going to join the Euro ......... am I just being silly or does this together with winky's mission to change the electoral rules sound more each day like we now firmly live in a dictatorship and really should be thinking of putting them both to the sword?

It's times like these that I can understand why the USA have The 2nd Amendment.

This Govt is scary as hell, breaks with traditions and operates outside of conventions, logic, and common sense and decency.

All done and dusted within 11 months?

And that's if they survive that long.

You think?

I think they will find a way of getting another term legal or otherwise they have total and utter contempt for democracy

Joining the Euro is inevitable at some point. It really will happen down the line, if there is no debate about it this decade, there will be next and so forth.

Do you really think that Brussels will allow the Union to fall to bits? It will bulldoze onwards, gradually filling in the exit routes, until we all blend into a homogenous harmony. It will happen eventually.

I disagree on the near future and I think the article is alarmist as Mandelson is possibly talking about the longer term.

Since he is not an idiot, I assume he is either talking mid/long term, or he has some sort of Euro Fusion agenda independent of the welfare of the UK.

This is irrelevant really. As we are not in a position to join the currency (even if he wished and said please), it will not happen for a long time.... perhaps until they get re-elected.

Whilst I admire Mandelson's intellect and verbal ability, it's about time one of the rifle owners of the UK put a bullet in him.

Debate and referendum I can happily live with, what scares me is the total disregard winky and lord fondlebum have for the UK electorate, we were supposed to have a referendum on the EU, did that happen of course not as winky claimed it had materialy changed! I guess what I'm saying is that I'd like a direct say in the major political descisions being made, rather than having a lunatic scot and his Sith friend make them for me

I keep telling you; Mandelson = Bilderburg Group = One World Order...

I'm also telling you now, this time next year he will be our prime minister.

Be afraid, be very very afraid......

Gosh, they don't want to let the electorate give a view. They give the wrong answer (as per the Lisbon treaty), thus it's best not to ask at all..... Govt knows best.

Guy Fawkes had the right idea.

"Remember, Remember, the fifth of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot".


I never realised it was based on a true futuristic story.






Coming to a Parliament near you soon.

it is scary that this man seems to think he speaks for the people of this country when the opposite is true...anyway they are nonjobnolabour, they would love handing the country over to some bloke in another country to run.....

i think eventually they will realise you cant have a single currency and europe will be broken up into individually governed states with their own economies and currencies pegged to precious metals with trade agreements between them.....

That is far too pragmatic for the eutopians in charge (with their left wing agenda)

Ah, the Political Class, once they've attended those "special" meetings.
I'm sure they then come away knowing what's best for the Masses.
Lol, if only the Masses knew their own true power.

Personally, I believe this whole EU/Euro bks will end, eventually, in war. Too many times, the opinion of the majority is being ignored in favour of the desires of the self-serving few, whilst whole peoples and cultures are being ordered to give up their own right to self-government.

You heard it here first!

Or second, buggered if I know....
