    Manston for me – loads of space at an underused airfield and far enough away from the London Airports to avoid air space conflict. But then I wouild say Manston, wouldn’t I?;) I like the combination of Wings and Wheels, as well.

    And the key point you missed is that the US is a nation state – a republic. It has centralised tax and a centralised fiscal structure but with state local tax autonomies just as Germany , France, UK etc have, but on a much smaller scale than the US.

    I read the link. None of the options addresses the real problem, which will never go away however much money is thrown at it in whatever dressing you want to call it. The theory was doomed from the start. It has been tried before and never worked. You cannot have common currency without common taxation and common fiscal policy. I.e. it won’t work unless the EU is a fiscal entity. And that it will never be.

    “There are other theoretical options , but are not under exame, although possibly less “brutal”, but politically hard to pass.”

    Indeed there are including the “nuclear” option of breaking up the eurozone which has worked about as well as most commentators without euro blinkers said 10 years ago.

    That is the only fiscally sane course and in any other situation would have been made a year ago. Now it might be forced on the Europhiles with al the attendant political name calling that will follow.

    Sorry for thread drift………….I was lead into it!;):)

    You are entirely missing the point. No one with any sense is denying that total UK deficit has to be reduced. However we can all argue about how it is done. Opponents of defence cuts will make a case for additional cuts in other areas of expenditure. It is all about where the cuts are made so some of us might prefer to defend ourselves than waste money in other areas. I will not amplify the comment because that debate is for another thread. In fact it has already been debated in other threads.
