Dream on... Mary Honeyball takes it quite literally



Mary Honeyball


Labour MEP and author of one of the UK's top twenty left wing political blogs (currently rated at 14th) Mary Honeyball writes that the economic crisis is beginning to make her feel that the UK should be in the eurozone.  Unbelievable and without a trace of irony these are her exact words.

"The crisis of the euro has shown in very graphic terms that the UK is in Europe and cannot ignore what happens in other EU member states when it comes to their economies. Britain has ended up paying out a very considerable sum of money. I doubt if it would have been any more if Britain had been a fully signed up member of the euro zone.

The last Labour government, it is true, refused to take Britain into the Euro. I have always been in favour of joining the single currency and, I must say, am once again beginning to feel vindicated that my point of view is the best one for our country."

I know its a terrible cliché but you just couldn't make it up.
