the UK is preparing to pull out of almost all areas of "Justice and Home Affairs", the so-called Pillar III of EU jurisdiction. (Pillar I is the single market, and Pillar II is foreign affairs)

This is revolutionary. We are withdrawing from 130 directives, covering everything from the European Arrest Warrant, the European Public Prosecutor, to the European justice department (Eurojust).

Luckily, Tony Blair negotiated the right to a mass opt-out on this Pillar III corpus to be exercised before it all becomes justiciable at the European Court (ECJ) in 2014, a move that would transform the ECJ into Britain's supreme court. (The same ECJ that rubber-stamped the rights violations of Connolly, Andreasen and Tillack, and against which there is no further appeal.)

We did so on the grounds that the UK's Common Law foundation requires special treatment, but nobody really thought at the time that we would use the opt-out. It was a sop to placate people like us at The Daily Telegraph until the Lisbon storm had passed.

So if you can't squeeze Iceland for debt it doesn't actually owe then you'll take your ball and go home?

Jolly good, yellows!

Lies come so naturally to you folks that the impending onset of clarity and transparency must be a bit disconcerting, no?

I feel so f*cking bad for him
He is the only voice of reason in that assemble
And they all sit and laugh at him, i see it in their faces
They even tried to have him killed once.
Its a joke to them, they are all unelected bureaucrats that are in charge of global policy
A f*cking Joke I tell you

Capitalism has it's faults for sure, but at least unlike with Corporatism the money is circulated around the GDP figures until it comes back to the table. Unlike what we have now with European/Asian finance interests setting up shop in London and swindling figures into oversea (offshore) accounts to line their pockets with.

Here ya go ....

Iceland was not threatening an attack on the UK, but it was threatening to deprive 300,000 British savers of the £4bn they had deposited in Icesave – a subsidiary of Landsbanki, which had been nationalised just days earlier.

The problem was that Iceland, with a population of 320,000, could not afford to bail Landsbanki out. Recognising that either the British taxpayer would have to foot the bill or customers would lose their savings, Gordon Brown acted. It was October 2008.

Geir Haarde, Iceland's then prime minister, later said: "The actions of the Brown government were shameful. They put a friendly country like Iceland on a list ... alongside al Qaeda."

But Brown had good reason to want to seize the assets. Iceland's banks had outgrown the country. The liabilities of the three main lenders were almost 10 times the size of its GDP. When investors baulked at the scale of their debts and all three faced collapse, the Icelandic government stepped in. But it could not afford to rescue them. The UK has still to recover the £2.3bn Iceland owes the taxpayer.

Instead, in a few dramatic days, Iceland tore up the traditional rulebook. First, retail depositors were given priority over bondholders. Then, alongside the deposits, all domestic assets were transferred to new banks at "fair value" – the shrunken, market price of the debt. The new banks, recapitalised by the state, took over the vital payments system that kept the wheels of the economy turning.
