fill their heads with rumours of impending doom
1.00 GBP = 1.02261 EUR
I usually don’t comment on world news like the current financial crisis that I thought is a bit overhyped (here in NL) anyway, but this kind of blindsided me. I knew the GBP was doing shitty at the moment, I even commented on it and cheerfully went to amazon.co.uk to celebrate by buying shitloads of DVD’s… but this is something the world’s never seen before.
Great Britain didn’t want to join the EU coinage because their own coinage was so strong. And look at them now. They could get the Euro and they’d be better for it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not cheeky about it… I think it’s a very shitty thing. :(
I’m just very surprised.
I ain’t in no hurry, you go run
And tell your friends I’m losing touch
Fill their heads with rumours of impending doom
It must be true

Yeah I noticed. Saved quite a bit of money… on catfood, of all things.

It’s the classic British story:
(1) Labour government spends a lot on welfare, very popular …
(2) … then taxes and spends too much, bankrupts country, becomes unpopular,
(3) Conservative government wins landslide, cuts spending and taxes, very popular …
(4) … then spends too little, country no longer bankrupt, emotive pictures of small children made homeless by strict government policy, becomes unpopular,
(5) Labour government wins landslide. Repeat from (1).
Currently we’re at (2), with Labour’s natural tendency to take a bath in public funds exacerbated by a worldwide recession.
I’m expecting the pound to dip below the Euro before it’s done tanking.
