Comments on: Is powerful Mandy talking up the euro? http://blogs.reuters.com/uknews/2009/06/14/is-powerful-mandy-talking-up-the-euro/ Insights from the UK and beyond Thu, 23 May 2013 18:59:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Peter http://blogs.reuters.com/uknews/2009/06/14/is-powerful-mandy-talking-up-the-euro/comment-page-1/#comment-9396 Peter Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:15:35 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/uknews/?p=2995#comment-9396 "Is Mandy talking up the Euro?" Is this a joke or does the blogger think we are all stupid? Mandelson makes no secret of the fact that his whole purpose in life is to deliver Britain irreversibly into the EU and he is being handsomely paid to do so. He will retire a rich man on the back of the work he has done for the EU. “Is Mandy talking up the Euro?”

He is unelected, seemingly unaccountable and has shown himself to be unfit for public office on more than one occasion. If anyone typifies the government's lack of moral authority he does. Utterly risible. What makes me really angry is that this man has no mandate whatsoever.

Regardless of setbacks and diversions, the long term aim of Mandelson and his party is nothing less than the breakup of the UK and delivery of its component parts to the new Socialist empire of the EU.

Fortunately, however, the British people know that joining the eurozone would be a national disaster on a scale unprecedented in modern history, because it would constitute the final act in the total subjugation of this country to the monster the EU has become. We must all remain constantly on our guard against this menace. As for the euro, the strains that are already beginning to manifest themselves at the fringes of this "one size fits all straitjacket" will eventually bring about its destruction.

But does 'first out' necessarily mean longer term prospects are better? We need to wait a little to see who actually emerges with greater economic strength. My bets are firmly on the eurozone! With the euro and ECB's discipline, UK financial institutions wouldn't have got us into such a deep mess in the first place and the UK now has a huge public deficit to repay, probably over decades. High taxes will be here to stay, no matter who is in government. NO doubt the euro-phobes will say that having the pound enabled the UK to devalue and emerge from the recession more quickly.
