<william.black@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> arranged some electrons, so they looked like this:


... My wife needs a Schengen visa to visit Schengen countries.

The wife of a french man won't need it.

... She has a UK residential visa.

Sign the Schengen agreements!

(Like that's gonna happen in my lifetime...)


I wish.

And the Euro as well.

I can't get my head around people who think that having your own currency is a good thing for no very good reason except some sort of fear.

The only people who make money are the banks, who actually manage to tax people for having the temerity to want to spend money abroad...


The problem is that the loss of a separate currency results in a great deal of loss of the ability to manage your own economy.

It is not clear that the advantages are more than minor.


Actually that explanation only applies if you're the chancellor. For normal people there are advantages and no down side.


It appears that you think the only beneficiary of economic control is to the person applying the controls.

If the UK economy is harmed the Chancellor will take a hit. However a lot of other folks will be harmed as well.
