I enjoyed (to a point) the thread about God that Ash started the other day.
In a Kilroy-esque move I'd be interested to know what the happy family of BW (cough) think about Europe, the European Union, single currency etc.
I will start the ball rolling.
Single currency - yes please. This just makes *sense*. To the doubters who are doubting for sound economical reasons, ok fair enough. To the people who think OMG NO QUEENS HEAD ON A BIT OF PAPER OR COIN MEANS WE LOSE OUR IDENTITY I think get...real. They said the same in 71 about decimalisation.
European Union and the future of Europe - well I'm all for a United States of Europe. There...said it. Yes that includes the French (not the biggest fan of the French). Integrating the former Eastern Bloc countries is a great move, I really can see at some point this century we'll go the whole way.
To me, it doesn't mean sacrificing our "national identity", the US states all have their own laws and characteristics/identity, why should the UK lose anything? I don't particularly like the UK anyway so I'm not the best person to comment here.
I would ramble more and a lot more coherently but I'm late for work.
Maybe this will lead to an interesting discussion, maybe not. ta ta!
