RATS SWIM TOWARDS SINKING SHIP
Did you see that the Parliament in Iceland has voted by a narrow majority to set in motion an application to join the European Union, after five days of gruelling debate?
Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir of the Social Democrats has also been pushing for the adoption of the euro as the Nordic country’s currency. The bid must now be approved by the EU, after which Iceland’s people will be asked to vote on it in a referendum.
Are they gluttons for punishment? Perhaps it is the weather? Either way, applying for membership of the failing Euroclub seems odd to me but I suppose if it saves the necks of a few politicians then handing over national sovereignty is a minor price to pay. Wonder what Bjork thinks? It’s all so quiet from her, these days…
A small population so used to having freedom are not going to like it – if they have any sense.
That is a shame. The EU hated iceland when it was prospering; as soon as there was economic difficulties there they swooped and played on the uncertain feelings that have come about.
It is like watching a dodgy salesman go door to door, using peoples fears to line their own pockets.
I bet Bjork is beating up photographers in an airport somewhere.
Of course they joined, we’ll have to bail them out of the sh*t as well as all the other spongers that have joined in the last 10 years.
Where’s my vote to leave?
Yup, I’m still waiting for our leaving referendum
