And so the dance continues

(Economist link)

 

That will be handy for settling another of Mr Cameron’s European problems, a bill from the EU for €2.1 billion ($2.7 billion) owing to a decennial budget adjustment. It could scarcely have been worse-timed, with the Tories in the thick of a tough by-election scrap against UKIP in the Kent constituency of Rochester and Strood. So it was perhaps inevitable that Mr Cameron would protest against it, too. Yet there is little reason to think he will get British taxpayers off the hook; the bill is based on accounting rules Britain approves of. The best he can probably expect is for the bill to be paid in instalments and perhaps set against future British contributions to the EU.

Italy's Grillo Rages "We Are Not At War With ISIS Or Russia, We Are At War With The ECB".

 

"Next week, Italy's Beppe Grillo - the leader of the Italian Five Star Movement - will start collecting signatures with the aim of getting a referendum in Italy on leaving the euro "as soon as possible," just as was done in 1989. As Grillo tells The BBC in this brief but stunning clip, "we will leave the Euro and bring down this system of bankers, of scum." With two-thirds of Parliament apparently behind the plan, Grillo exclaims "we are dying, we need a Plan B to this Europe that has become a nightmare - and we are implementing it," raging that "we are not at war with ISIS or Russia! We are at war with the European Central Bank," that has stripped us of our sovereignty."

They're all full of shit. Talk is cheap. When Greece's PM decided he was going to give the people a referendum on whether to exit the EU he was replaced within days, the troika was shuttled in and that was the end of that. When push comes to shove his feet won't touch the ground.

If the UK dumps the EU, they should adopt Australia's immigration policy, which seems to have made them the success they are today.

 

 

EU says UK must dole out MORE benefits: Brussels takes legal action to force Britain to lift restrictions on migrants claiming handouts.

 

"Britain will be forced to pay benefits to even more migrants under EU plans to be fought over in a politically explosive court case. Officials in Brussels last night confirmed that the European Commission is taking legal action to make Britain lift existing restrictions that prevent some migrants claiming child benefit and child tax credit in the UK. The news comes just days after David Cameron pledged to cut handouts in a bid to reduce soaring immigration. The case at Europes highest court will further anger the public and politicians who have called on the Government to tighten up Britains generous welfare system and make the country a less attractive destination for would-be immigrants."

When Ted Heath invited the British to vote in a referendum, they were invited to vote for a Common Market, not a United States of Europe.

 

How on earth did the common market end up as the mess that is Europe today?

 

It all seemed such a good idea back in the 70s.

Hammond is on a different level of understanding to most ordinary mortals
