Manselson has had the ear of Blair for 10 years (or more), yet we still don't really know what he personally thinks or considers the correct policies. |

I don't think the EU is involved here. I might be wrong but I understood it as a one way move, even if the HMG could take back control, for the same administration / people to do so would be seen as an admission of frecking up the original decision I suspect... Agreed, but that wouldn't bother them. 'Those poor lads at the bank just couldn't get it right, no matter how much help I gave them... I can see I'll have to do it myself after all.' |

If you want a larf, get todays FT and read the 'notebook' column, the imaginary conversation inside the Bank reference Big G (GB) is hilarious.. |
