Oh look, another "lets bash the EU" thread.
Only this time with a twist, being those who don't like the the EU for it's slightly socialist agenda, are now attacking because the Capitalist technocrat bankers have taken charge.
Perhaps you should read that Tony Benn passage further up the thread, because it doesn't matter whether it's the EU, US or whatever political/economic ideology, the bankers and those of their ilk(like the ones who currently occupy cabinet positions) have always held sway over us where ever we are. Italy and Greece have further demonstrated that Democracy the world over is an illusion with their technocrats.
I'm sure we will continue to believe all this is justified because those at the top and their wealth will "trickle down" to us, even as they pay themselves more and more and we get squeezed more and more.
But I doubt this will wake enough people up, particularly in this country. Perhaps democracy needs to disappear for a bit, then we might miss it when it's gone.
I'm Pro-Eu, just not pro this current EU.
