Gordon Brown has changed nothing, and he won't. No leader will change anything though, they'll piss about with little things, and do the occasional tweak.

Here's what I think.

We should just join the ****ing Euro and be done with it, it's gonna happen eventually and if Europe is united eventually a bit of balance will return to the world, rather than the states (and soon China) ruling and then everyone else following.

The country is far too pollitcally correct. If people want to come and live in Britain, fine, no problem with me, but they can live by UK customs, UK law, and UK traditions. We as a country should stop catering to every little minority that pops up, it's pathetic. Also, we need someone in power to stand up and truthfully talk on the subject, without all the 'am I being racist' nonsense. You either are a racist (you hate foreigners) or you're not. If you're not then you can talk openly about it and criticise a minority, IT¨S OK!

Also, on the subject of race, if I want to make a chinese, or japanese, or whatever joke, why can't I? Population of China: 1.3billion. Population of UK: 60million. Come on. I'm not racist, it's a national pride thing. Every other country in Europe has it, why are we so worried about offending others?

AND (sorry!) if a minority stands up and says 'we don't like christmas, it offends our faith', someone has to say '**** OFF, NO ONES FORCING YOU TO LIVE HERE'

Right, this ranting is good!

Fuel Prices, crazy, and I don't like the way no one is really bothering these days, we all just take it. I was hearing the other day, the biggest riots in Scotland ever came when the price of beer went up 3p. Where's that mentality gone?! We're letting the price get put up, it's as much out fault for not doing anything about it.

So there you have it. I hate P.C. nonsense, I hate our 'reversed racism', and I hate fuel prices. I'm genuinely thinking of leaving once I finish uni

exactly, perhaps if every politician was forced to live our lives, paying what we pay, getting taxed on everything, on normal salaries, then maybe they would change things...

How do you brits feel about globalization through economy? There are talks about a North American Union, and the Asian Union is already in the works, and then you have the African and the European unions. Then once international banking corporations do that, they can more easily just combine the unions into one global economy.

Like 1 earth dollar, or whatever you would want to call it. It seems that is the way the unions are going. I don't think globalization will happen from governments, war, treaties, allies, but it will come from economy, and those who control the economy control everything.

Since the UK has stayed out of the EU, what are your guys full thoughts on it?
