Euro woes

Back from Germany I am more convinced than ever that the UK should stay out of the euro - it has caused rampant inflation.

I was last in that part of the country in December 2001, just before the introduction of the notes and coins, when a weissbier cost about two pounds. This weekend the same beer was around two pounds fifty, an increase of 25% in only four years!. Friends reported that they found a similar increases in the sterling prices of other goods and services.

And this at time when the euro has fallen against the pound from 1.65 to 1.44!

Rule Britannia! Vote Ukip!
