We thank our lucky stars that we were sensible enough to keep out of the euro.


The same feeling in Ireland, when they moved over to the Euro I asked my uncle (He was born over here & lives there) about his views on it I'll quote him.

The world is heading to a world currency, people going crazy over their currency getting replaced is not going to prevent it.

We certainly got a lot less value for money when the Euro came in; every shop keeper jacked up their prices.

And the Euro is an ugly currency; there's something very cool about having Darwin on a £10 note.

(sniggers)

The euro has been a fantastic exercise in that first step towards world currency, hasn't it?

You're delusional if you think this will inspire any more (non-poor) countries to get rid of their currencies. A lot of the people in the eurozone actually want their national currencies back. I'm just glad we kept ours. The Irish, bless 'em, weren't so lucky.

Reasons why the BNP are categorically a bad thing:

* One BNP candidate in the North of England who posted on his Facebook page a mock advert for the gas Zyklon B – used in the Nazi extermination chambers of the Second World War – captioned, "Try Zyklon B. It's a gas!"

* One candidate urges his followers to "Stamp out diseases today. Spray pakis and poofs with hydrochloric acid".

* An activist in Wales, who has a photograph of his endorsement by BNP leader Nick Griffin on his Facebook page. Underneath it reads: "My grandfather was killed in Auschwitz. Apparently he got pissed and fell out of the watchtower!"

The candidate also posted, "Just popped round to see my Muslim neighbour's new baby. She asked me if I wanted to wind it but that seemed a bit extreme so I gave it a dead leg instead."

* A woman, describing herself as a "a big supporter of the BNP leader Nick Griffin", responded to a protest by Muslims Against The Crusades by saying: "They should all be burned."

* Another candidate posting about his arrest for "an out of date bus ticket", says: "They [police] have just made me hate them even more. From now on I will be celebrating the death of serving police officers when they are announced on the news. May sound a bit extreme but I hate them that much." He also posted that Labour's newly elected MP for Barnsley Central, Dan Jarvis, a former officer in the Parachute Regiment, "should have been shot from behind while facing the enemy".

Add to this their use of an anti-immigration stance using a POLISH SQUADRON Spitfire as a "poster-boy", thus demonstrating their own sheer lack of knowledge about the history of the nation they are so "proud" of. Oh, and that dozy tart on "BNP Wives" who had her Union Flag UPSIDE DOWN.

How's that?


sorry, but :lol:
