You can put it down to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Wednesday" rel="nofollow">Black Wednesday</a> that Britain has not adopted the single currency, but I think it was a destination. Brits seem to have always held dear more liberty and independence than continental Europeans...<br /><br />Being in the EU is like marriage - living together is not a bed of roses, but living apart is even worse, you I suppose Britain will eventually choose the lesser of two evils.student SGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367244307612092688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-66333164430915757762013-01-19T00:48:23.900+01:002013-01-19T00:48:23.900+01:00I think that there is a nice case of psychological...I think that there is a nice case of psychological projection going on. England is a wasteful, expensive, bureaucratic place....so unconsciously the 'other' is accused of these faults. Basically England is a nation needing collective therapy. Instead the people have chosen a denier of truth as leader. It's a frightful thought that a referendum might be held on EU membership. The narrow-minded masses might just vote to leave 'because foreigners take our jobs' without the faintest idea that Britain needs to be competitive. <br /><br />Detailed research has shown that construction costs up to 50% more in Britain than in France, Germany or Switzerland. McNulty said much the same about train services. Food and clothing are expensive here. Half of our food production is thrown away needlessly. But why face up to this and do something? It's easier to blame 'foreigners' over the channel. <br /><br />Besides Cameron is no patriot. He's a privileged toff with no idea of how ordinary people live. If he grasped what life was like for most people (and if he cared) he'd take steps to reduce the cost of living through genuine improvements in safety. Instead the disabled get their welfare payments cut whilst his cronies get lucrative contracts to provide lacklustre public 'services'. Well, I suppose that people get the leaders they deserve.
