Huge infusion of wealth and influence for England's West Country

The proof that none in Brussels nor London could be any more totally useless cannot possibly be better proven than by the fiasco over Lloyds and HBOS. Do not forget as I blogged on the takeover on 18th September 2008: Final point on this fiasco - the shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, was interviewed on Channel 4 News last evening and made several statements to the effect that the Government could do as they wished as he agreed with their moves showing at a stroke he, and I believe also his party leader, have no concept whatsoever as to the meaning of parliamentary governance. None in the Capital Cities or major urban conurbations of the Western world have yet fully taken on board the seismic changes now underway. People distrust money, people need meat, fish and vegetables. The West Country must prepare to prosper from its resources, it needs to identify with its neighbours who are now sitting upon similar precious assets along nearby coast lands, both in Ireland and Western France. The former urban rich are the West's new poor, the manipulated fisherman and farmers of the rural regions are the new rich. How much for a potato, sole or loaf of bread once Brown/Darling/King start their sterling printing presses rolling? When and what happens to the EU will soon become largely irrelevant as it lacks real resources. Present assumptions that following any break-up of the EU there will be a natural reversion to old borderlines, whether national or simply economic are absurd. Can Belgium now be re-united as it was before the EU? Impossible to all intents and purposes. Similar questions will surely arise in the East of the former EU, the Western regions of the Continent must also begin to discuss how they can be best prepared for the dangerous changes ahead. Is there a single figure in the Westminster Parliament any sensible person would trust with their savings or future well-being? I can think of none, but suggestions are welcome.
