'Although Britain is not in the euro and thus does not contribute to the eurozone crisis fund, we do contribute to an EU crisis "mechanism" - signed up to by Alistair Darling in those five days in May after the election.'Alistair Darling signed up to this EU crisis 'mechanism' after the general election whilst Gordon Brown was clinging onto power despite losing the election. Should the country be bound by a decision taken by a government that had been comprehensively beaten in a general election? What other 'binding' decisions did Gordon Brown and his team make in their last days in power; decisions taken to frustrate and hinder the Conservative lead coalition?
I am not a sheep, I have my own mind
I have had enough of being told what and how to think
Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech,

I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.
