There are plenty of other countries in Europe that are not happy with the direction it is taking, like the whole of Scandinavia for example.
Osbourne wastes British taxpayers money on a courtcase to defend crooked bankers, despicable

Now that’s silly,
Yes we don’t like the rules,
So we either get them changed or leave the EU,
But this in no way stops us from trading with them, and more that it stops us trading with the rest of the world.
Very good point..

That’s good for us,
And bad for criticizers,
The only way now is up.
We will grow, slowly but grow we will.

Yes, all hail the Boy George Bounc, viva 0.3% (revisable downwards) growth. I'd have been happier if we kept our industries (if not Hong Kong!) myself...
