Europe's hour of decision 6:54pm on 16 Nov 2009 Reinfeldt. Neutral and assertive. But he wont nominate himself. SO the EU loses out again.
The Treasury hedge fund 4:19pm on 09 Nov 2009 Such a good deal that the majority of hedge funds have NOT bought in. This is fiddling while rome burns. Why dont you start intellectualising and analysing Mr Peston. You are intelligent enough. You dont need to feed the family THAT much.
More could quit, drugs panel tells Johnson 4:05pm on 09 Nov 2009 An advisory body has decided to quit and has not signed the warning notice. sheesh. i am so shocked and scared for my home country now. i have watched ths slide for the last 15 years. How quick it happens.
More could quit, drugs panel tells Johnson 4:00pm on 09 Nov 2009 Skimmed the comments, the point is simple.
A democratic govnt. is ignoring and influencing the activities of a statutory body.

if this occurred in east europe UK news would say it was a return to totalitarianism.

Here on BBC i read

Neighbour snooping and net monitoring.

Already, council officials can search your home without a warrant on practically any pretext on the assumption of 'proceeds of crime'

Are you all crazy or what - WAKE UP - TS NO LONGER THE UK - EUROPE HAS MORE FREEDOM THAN YOU
Nutt gets the sack 4:20pm on 31 Oct 2009 Recomend Post 274
if this is true then i retract my statement that Johnson had no choice.
He should not have been asked to leave.

However, must take issue wth most of the pro-posters here. i have smoked pot for 48 years since age 14. i would not want my kids to smoke. But they will at some point - so i would L|KE THE |NFORMATON ON THE STREET BE CLEAR PLEASE Mr GOVERNMENT M|NSTER so they can make informed choises.

Now, i know many people who cocktail and because we are all human and ALL of us have highs and lows (no pun intended) they go a lttle crazy. 'oh hes off on one' etc etc.

Now all of you are pretending this doesnt happen to you or your friends, ths is also disngenuous and devalues a lot of the reasonable points being made here. imho.

Cocktailng in the young is disastrous - they lose responsibilty. Please be clearer - all of you.
Nutt gets the sack 07:43am on 31 Oct 2009 Recommend Post 167.

We are English, not Dutch, Spansh, Swiss or Portugese. Unfortunately due to excess cash and a high populaton density with limited recreaton educaton (yes you read that right) and recreation facilites, we binge. The lack of family cohesion )compared to other countries) means we Very binge.
The current problem is not puff, beer, charlie or skag it is the MiX.

The 14 year olds in the dark kids playgrounds are no longer into a can of stella and 2 tokes of afghan black. 3 cans of special brew, 4 J¨s of skunk and half a line of coke is difficult to handle at 14. or 16. or 18.
Disorder.

Debate, sensible debate on this is welcomed. Prof Nutt KNEW he would be fired, that is why he spoke as he did. He was angry. He does not have the full picture. Johnson had no choice.

Havng said that, repealng the law was stupid. it has just engendered cynisism for authority in a whole generation - and across generations.
Ms Smith and Mr Johnson truly have reefer madness. Their social engineerng principles are deeply flawed. They have antagonised and stoked a debate they wanted to supress. Do they have degrees????
Bank reform: The radical way 11:31am on 24 Oct 2009 Flabergastingly, even a blnd monkey could make money in such a depressed share market, the rest of the world is REALLY comng out of recession. So why the bonuses. Bonuses paid every 5 years perhaps - rewarding loyalty and consistency - then they can be mega Euro ones (the pound will be worth nothing in 5 years btw).
Bank reform: The radical way 11:24am on 24 Oct 2009 Mr Peston. Dont you have internet at home? :)
Klaus opting out 6:16pm on 13 Oct 2009 Marcus Aurelius II
Here is a projection of world relations that you may like to think about, The USA is 233 years old, it is a fantastic new image of political and social reality. I (Personally) love the people but hate the external politics, why, because the US was founded in conflict, against the Brits, Spanish, Mexicans and Indians. There is no problem with this, but it is inherently implicit in your (sorry the US's) world view now. Yes you go for diplomacy but you (not personally) are very small carrot big stick.

Europe, and I agree with you, is simply fractious warring nations, the history is abysmal. But now, with global comms, we (in europe) are evolving.

How, 233 years ago 'created' no, 'invented' no, evolved the USA now Europeans are 'evolving' an new form of governance, based loosely in social democracy, but absorbing all national characteristics.

Similar to my comments above regarding the multi-faceted military presentation of NATO, the multi-faceted presentation of Europe in 20 years time will, without doubt, be formidable, competetive and socially durable.

This transformation will be enacted without the bloodshed that normally accompanies this step change in society.

This fact alone, ensures success and endurability, painless birth.

Marcus, you are the only american I have seen (online) with a view on this transmogrification, and so I ask you to step back and consider, you may actually be one of the few US citizens giving good constructive negative (I hope you understand that negative input is positive) input into the birth pains of a whole new social system. Congratulations, and I salute you for it,

And, to combat any tendancy you may have to decry this, and to gie you some ammunition... Current US debt is 1.4 trillion dollars. China, the asian countries and Iran wish to trade petrol in Euros rather than dollars. Russia and other are ambivalent but vacillate between Euros and IMF SDR's (to counteract currency fluctuations caused by an individual countries internal problems.

5 - 10 years will see the world very different.
Klaus opting out 5:44pm on 13 Oct 2009 No. 295 Thank you for that link. I have asked many people here in CZ to explain bebes dekreti and none can - or my be embarassed, either because they dont know or dont want to know.

I understand that these have to be repealed by soud (law courts) but as a layman, why can this not happen - we (in the czech republic) can not keep living in the past.

There are stupid laws all over the world that are ignored and forgotten - the driving of sheep over london bridge is restricted to a sunday - just try it - lamb chops in seconds.

What I am saying is we (Czech residents - I am British) must move past these idealogical anchors and stop investing the past with so deep a meaning. And this includes the gameplaying parlimentarians who have so damaged our image in the world and europe over the past 10 months.
