Britain says NO to relinquishing control of sovereign fiscal policy to Brussels
Mainly to protect London's financial markets, that represent over 50% of Europe's financial trade and generates about pounds 50 billion in tax revenues for the UK David Cameron has vetoed a decision to allow centralised policy making from Brussels which may allow for example un-elected European beauracrats to decide national sovereign income tax levels.
France and Germany see centralised fiscal policy as essential to exercise greater control over those economies that they see as irresponsible such as Greece and Italy to save the Euro currency and steer away from another impending recession.
Have the UK stuck the dagger into the back of Europe or decided there is no point in throwing good money after bad?
Who's right?

We should leave the EU and become a free trade country and save £40 million a day. That would improve our economy over night. The government thinks that if we aren't part of the EU other country's would stop buying British made goods, which is bollocks in my opinion.

This was about the proposed financial transaction tax. Suddenly Germany and France don't think it's such a good idea now that the UK has said it won't get involved.
i.e. it was a tax meant for the UK, the financial heart of Europe.
Good job David Cameron on telling Germany and France to fuck off, it's about time they realised that they need England's money, more than we need them. And I say England's because Ireland, Scotland and Wales don't have any.

I'll happly live in part of the UK that had less money (NI) in trade for it not being infested to the hilt with foreigners, mainly muslims like England is. I lived and worked there for 3 years and am in no hurry to return.
You 'might' have the money now, but at the rate its going, your going to lose the country in which its earnt.

I agree with you. I also think that in the near future, when things really do start to get tough in the UK, the current liberal sentiment will evaporate as people begin to re-learn the true value of what we have.

What's really scary is that it was even an option in the first place.

We dont want Germayn, Italy and France decide when and where our taxpayers money goes without we having a say about the matter.

Rules were set for countries to join the Euro, Germany and France broke them at the outset as did Greece and the rest. They now want to tax British based companies to help bail them out, tax your own you fucking morons. The German and French leaders have had many meetings without the other 25 nations being present, so that they can stitch up the others for the cash. If they want the Euro let them (Germans and French) pay for it, cos you ain't getting a pound from us.

I think Merkel and Sarkozi are pissed off because they want our cash to help with the mess you describe, and the other member states whether in the euro or not only stand to gain from taking some of our taxes. Each member country should be responsible for its own fiscal policy and if they fuck it up they should not be bailed out otherwise they wont change.

Well they've relinquished control of MONETARY power to their central bank, which has far more dire consequences - just like the US allowed the Federal Reserve private banking cartel to control monetary policy since 1913/14.
