There are countries far lower on the wealth scale with a far higher standard of living - broke Iceland for instance!!

When will we ever get a government that will govern for OUR benefit rather that their own popularity and re-election?

Forget arguments about the EU - look closer to home to find our real enemy
Agreed. The Eu isn't the real issue. Before the Uk can do anything about the EU we need to get our own house in order. People must remember we run a HUGE trade deficit and rely on service industry. We need to be looking at the German economic model. They managed to sort their hose out and now they are the strongest econimy in europe and one of the strongest in the world!
