God save us from politicians!

Michael Meacher, Labour Oldham West & Royton, posts on the euro entitled "What exactly is the eurozone for?".

"The Eurozone is a fantasy built on a mirage.   The fantasy was that the Eurozone would not only enshrine the currency of the largent [sic] trading area in the world, but would also be an essential building block towards full political and monetary union and perhaps a federal European super-state."

As a common currency is a prerequisite for full political and monetary union, the argument posted from a man who has voted strongly for European integration can only lead one to splutter: FFS!

Not only do we have journalists pontificating on matters they know not, this confirms - as is well known - we have MPs doing likewise!
