Great, merge with the french, who better really, we share the same bit of sea and at the nearest point we are only 22 miles apart. The other thing is if we are going to become more closely tied to the french, we might actually learn something from them, for they are their own people, a people to be admired, not despised because of ancient squabbles.
Regards language, more and more of the youth of France are now using English as a language that due to media from America, in fact it is being seen as English is the language of communication with other countries.
But one thing that does cheer regards a merge with France is the question of wars, maybe being with them might temper our need to go and support the Americans in their commercial wars.
For that is what it is all really about, the war on terror is to keep the funding flowing for those that like to play with big boys toys, people who if you read Freud, have not developed beyond the penile stage of human development, a penis and the damage that can be done with it, curious the shape of these things that get shot or fired at others.
The other thing of course is commercial interests overseas, what someone has got and the commercial sector want, the weaker the country the easier it is to find a reason to be there.
Iraq's Oil and vast mineral reserves under Afghanistan, who knew ? That and the fact that Afghanistan is the source of the Opium trade, strange our boys are out there and are prohibited from destroying the fields where they find them, reasons along the lines of sole crop can't reduce the people to poverty, why the hell not, it's not stopped them before, Iraq for example.
The wars we suffer are nothing more than protecting commercial interests, commerce upsets people abroad, they retaliate and the people suffer what we do and we are paying for it out of our pockets and we will never reap any rewards, the uninformed tax payer who is well trained to rally behind flags and notions of sovreignty will always be those that pay with blood and taxes, it has always been so.
The deficit, aye the banks might have been something to do with that, but how much of the banks is corporate interests and with that the spending that is going on in these long wars, surely that has got to have a big impact on us, how many billions have been spent, billions that could be better used making a rather small country with a loud past become something useful in this modern age of bigger players.
Going in with the french I see as a good idea and not because of the financial aspect, maybe Britain might learn to say 'non', or even gesticulate in a British Agincourt way 'merde' when corporate run nations request help for commercial expeditions overseas.
Well, that's my plan sinking quicker than the General Belgrano.
