Fair play to David Cameron.

Pity we don't have a leader like him, he's got back bone. We've just got a bunch of lemmings! 800 years isn't far enough back for them.

OP ... You started this. You should be open to criticism/opinions instead of insulting posters.

who did i insult?

Then why post such a stupid post...

Seem as the British government have no qualms about seeing the collapse of the euro and the EU, throwing hundreds of millions of peoples lives into misery for their own self interest of protecting the institutes that caused this global meltdown, is it time for Ireland and the rest of Europe to boycott all things British??

I wonder how fast Tesco and Co would be knocking on number 10s door if they saw their profits wiped out across Europe.

You know its actually very sad that you don't have a clue.
Its a sad state of affairs indeed.

Stop reading the likes of the cheap rags for their rubbish if thats where your getting your current train of thought and look at some broader pictures intermingled with the current wishes of people within their own territorial borders!

OP if your going to start a thread about British policy making (disguised as Brit Bashing ... of which there have been many in AH ) you'll have to put in a much better effort .

this thread is about boycotting British goods and services because they dont want to help their European neighbors out, with stabilizing the euro. that does not mean i dislike everything british.

Yeh, we were all strict Catholics before Ann Summers arrived :rolleyes:

Remember when there was a protest by the extreme religious right when Ann arrived? Unreal stuff, the Taliban would have been proud!!

Actually OP, on a personal level, are you going to boycott British products? Because there's nothing stopping you from doing so.

They DO want to help their neighbours out.
Didn't they actually give us extra money off their own backs and help us more?
...And you want to lash out at them?

What bloody short memory, bloody minded stupidity! Christ!

but seriously, why should the uk have to give up something that is so important to their economy, do you think enda kenny would have agreed if there was a policy in place that would remove ireland's low corporation tax rate? no way, the treaty is most likely still going ahead, just without britain who are not in the euro anyway

and if it was the other way around, would the british boycott irish goods and services?

Yeah, it was a great bit of publicity for Ann Summers that! What amused me was that one of the arguments the protesters made was that the shop was inappropriate for O'Connell St - had they even looked at the state of the street at the time!

There was a point in boycotts like that 100 years or so ago, when Sinn Fein had posters reading "Burn everything British - except their coal", but in this day and age in a globalised economy, it just won't work. We'll just have to persevere and try to get through this crisis as Europeans and let the Little Englanders screw things up for their country. Eventually, they and their silly monarchy and ruling classes will face the wrath of the masses. Even in England the worm will have to turn sooner or later.;););)

Absolute nonsense!

I'd be willing to buy more British goods and services. In fact, I say we should follow British example.

I'd love to see a more integrated Europe, an EU without an borders. However, under the present situation we will be forced to hand over powers, that usually are only reserved for elected representatives, to unelected bureaucrats in Europe. It's a undemocratic short term solution to a long term problem.

Better the €uro to collapse than our rights to vanish I say.

Ah here Biggins, you know well they only loaned us that money out of their own interest. British banks are up to their knees debt wise here, it was wise for Britain to loan us a few bob because if we went under, well Britain would suffer alot.
