I linked to an article recently (can't remember where but probably RealClearMarkets) putting forward a compelling argument that the UK will become the largest economy in Europe. Basically because we will grow and the Eurozone can't - even Germany. It will take time but if we push ahead at even 1% while they stagnate then sooner or later we will emerge as the one eyed man at the Euro blind man's party.
The Euro is destroying the periphery and France (which is more periphery than core now) and the creditor nations (Germany +) will not be able to fund it.
William Hague was very prescient to describe joining the Euro as being like locking yourself inside a building and then setting fire to it. Is there in fact any way at all for the Eurozone to sort itself out without a bloodbath (financial or literal)?
"Foreign investments in Scotland reached a 15-year high last year, according to a survey.
A total of 76 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects were secured in 2012, the largest number since 1997 and 49% more than in 2011.
There is "no sign of investors being deterred from coming to Scotland" because of the possibility of independence, according to professional services firm Ernst & Young, which compiled the survey.
It said that "if anything, the reverse appears to be true"."
This is poor from Cameron, even by his half-arsed complacent standards. I'm getting fed up of him answering any question with some spoon-fed quote which supposedly embarrasses the Opposition or tractor stats undermining Labour's record.
Not only does he look hopeless, he makes hopeless Ed look halfway decent.
Where is the command of his brief, confidence in his policies, steely determination and wit that Blair or Thatcher had?
You can see why Farage senses this is his moment, with voters asked to choose between two uninspiring out of their depth mediocrities.
@PickardJE: 5-second PMQs summary: Ed Miliband wants to talk about NHS because polls say people trust Labour on that issue. Quieter on benefits/economy.

Try writing out a list of values.
That helps the process of 'corporate bullshitting' no end.

Run along petal, somewhere a far right forum is missing a swivel eyed lunatic.
