The Pound has her majesty on the coin and note. If we went euro l don't think they will put her on any of the notes. Which would be damn unsporting.
I think if the current idiot in charge (Which was not voted there by the people) does sell us further towards the Euro he at the very minimum would not be getting voted back into power. At the maxium his head will be on a spike on Tower Bridge!
The pound is our heritage and our history. It has her majesty on one side and symbol of Britain or a famous face on the other. I for one am not a fan of the Euro and will strongly think about emigrating if we get sold further down that horrible line.
I think Canada will be my country of chioce!

I never realised how kick arse royalty were. They had a fucking lion as king.
My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

Lots of money to be made in Forex yet.
Its about giving control over the UK economy to the European Central Bank.
Fuck Israel
Because Brits only feel like Europeans when there is something in it for them. Otherwise, it's back to the islanders' superiority complex.
Nothing to do with the fact we wanted our own sovereign currency, the Pound was much stronger than the Euro etc etcFlemishHCmaniac wrote:

The euro is fucking gay. Plus, liek people have said before, haivng control of your own currency helps a lot in times like this - basically Ireland and Spain got more raped from the property crash than they should have, because they couldn't control their own interest rates

No old boy, Camilla will be know as Princess Consort. She would have been known as Queen Consort but due to her having been married before and the fact l don't think Her Majesty is a big fan she won't get that title.rdx-fx wrote:

The Euro is arse as well!
The pound is a highly overvalued currency. Just look at how the Brits get their money stolen from them on a day to day basis. Essentially what has happened, is that most companies have taken the exact same price they sell a product for in Euros or Dollars and simply changed the currency marking at the front. So something for $5 becomes 5 GPB and that's instant profit!!!!! I mean hell, Microsoft was charging the English like an extra $75 for a basic copy of Vista and there is no fucking difference between the American and British copies. So while America was getting Vista on the cheap, the Brits are paying out the ass for it.
Don't even get me started on the housing market. For what you guys pay for an AVERAGE sized home in the COUNTRYSIDE, you could get a place twice the size in most any other place in the western world.
Granted, it was nice for you guys when you traveled and got to rape that exchange rate, but now that has been taken away from you for the most part and the prices have remained the same. It's phenomenal!
(wait for it...)
EDIT:
The English do have a superiority complex, though. They only acknowledge they are part of the EU when it helps them. The rest of the time they just piss and moan.

So you think the way your country was headed before Gordon Brown was picture perfect, too? If there is any country that will become a police state and at the same time bow its head to the rest of the world and take it up the ass first, it will be the UK.The_Guardsman wrote:

That's why we get shafted over all old boy. We pay some of the most into the Euro empire and get some of the least back! We had a massive influxes of migrant workers that we could'nt cope with. The Euro are letting any tom dick and harry now as it seems. Oh yer some French chap wants one of our Aircraft carriers as part of this Euro farce (Sorry Euro Force)FlemishHCmaniac wrote:

I personal can't stand this Euro lark and am more happy to leave it. We still have the Commonwealth we could trade with and the States.
Oh and just because at one stage we had a rather large empire and Operation sea lion was thwarted by some dashing chaps in Blue does not mean we have a superiority complex. Chin, Chin!
God Save the Queen!
No it was'nt picture perfect but thats because we have become a hell of a soft touch and it Was Bliar that sold us further into the Euro. He was the one that got rid of the death penalty and the one that signed that sodding stupid Human rights lark! Not to mention a few other god awful things!CapnNismo wrote:

How the hell has the EU helped us so far? Rapist/Murders and other horrible creatures have the same rights as a tax paying citizen. Yes well bloody thought out that one!
Of course we bitch and moan, but thats because we get right royally shafted by the Euro! Romania wanted to take us to court because we wanted to limit the number of migrants coming into work. We get people who can't speak English and alot of foreign crimanls as well. Hurrah for Europe!
