Still, it'll all get sorted out by the euro, eh?

The thing that gets me about the Tories' fetish
about the pound is that if they really want to
save the currency, they could go back to:
1) predecimalisation
2) the groat
3) barter

Honestly, next thing they'll be telling us is that
national economies really are controlled by governments
rather than multinational corporations.

A little bit of politics, my name's Ben Elton,
goodnight!
