British policy towards europe is as follows.
Give up a few concessions in return for reataining control over something else. Eventually there will be nothing left.

Bods, I'd like to take issue with your sig - "1/.00000000000000000000000000000000000001" is not even close to infinity.

10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 for our uses is not significantly different from it.

You can't do calcluls on the basis that something tends to 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Bods you are a great example of why economists mathmatical predictions should be treated with caution

See important words, "for our uses".

No, actually, it's not. 10^38 is practically 1 in comparison to infinity.

I can't believe you are either. You might as well just admit you are wrong.

Bods, all I can add is
"Shattered, shattered
Love and hope and sex and dreams
Are still surviving on the street
Look at me -- I'm in tatters!
I'm a shattered
Shattered"
