I think this is all part of a bigger plan to let France invade the UK.
Think about it, better food, wine, etc. A sense of style and flair. No worries about the franc now, as we will end up with the Euro anyway. It really does make a lot of sense.
Of course, they would forget about the Isle of Man, as the Romans did, and we can continue to languish in no tax.
It really does make sense, the more you think about it. And we thought Options for Change was bad!
