Osborne only rules out further taxpayer cash for the EU for this weekend.

Britain's government quite clearly plans to remain within the multinational structures, such as the G20, which are slowly destroying their taxpayers livliehoods in a vain attempt to cling to their own power. George Osborne, attending the G20 Finance Ministers' meeting in Mexico City, has provided an interview with Sky News, which may be seen later this morning, a report on which is linked from here.

Speaking to Sky's Dermot Murnaghan, the Chancellor said: "We are prepared to consider IMF resources but only once we see the colour of the eurozone money and we have not seen the colour of the eurozone money.

"Whilst this G20 conference, I think, has a lot of important things to discuss... I don't think you're going to see any additional IMF resources committed here because, quite frankly, the eurozone have not committed additional resources themselves, and I think that quid pro quo will be clearly established here in Mexico City."

A responsible government of informed and intelligent ministers operating with the long term intersts of their citizens and taxpayers at the forefront of their minds, would have already begun the process of withdrawing from the never-ending merry-go-round of international meetings, which do nothing but hasten the rate of economic decline and foster false delusions of the correctness of the disastrous policies the West's career politicians continue to impose.
