Well, troubled times do surely unleash some strange forces. Today we read that as the Eurozone causes worldwide economic turmoil and democracy is eroded right across Europe, Nick Clegg thinks now is not the time for less EU. It's a bit like finding you have gangrene and being pleased.
Also, a full on, square cornered nutcase in Germany says that Britain should follow the German lead as the rest of Europe are (that is Germany, the country definitely not empire building, OK). This is to support a tax on financial transactions he is backing. One that will hit London, so not an issue as far as he is concerned, harder than anywhere else.
But I have a better idea. Why don't we tax luxury cars. Like Mercedes, BMW's, Audi's, Porsche and Bentley's? That would not only be a tax on the rich but a tax that hits a rich country too, which must be the best thing surely?
