Your greener than you look on your photos,do you really think that nothing is being manipulated by this lot?

No wonder the country and UKIP are in the ####.
Lol

I usually have an open mind when i comes to conspiracy theories because I would not put it past any government or politician in the world not to be involved in underhand dealings. I certainly think they (govt officials) manipulate a great deal. I think it is more smart civil servants doing a 'Sir Humphrey' on easy-to-manipulate politicians, rather than the politicians actually having any malice (i.e. I have no doubt that when the politician makes a decision they believe, at that time, it is the best thing to do. The problem is they have been led to that point by their Sir Humphrey, also not excluding their own idotic and hairbrained ideals).

But on this occasion i think you are way off the mark. It would be fairly easy to tell if the currency markets were being manipulated by a government, unless you mean our government has purposefully driven our economy into the groun din order that the Pound will hit parity with the Euro and lcause us to join. If the latter is your view then I think you are completely off your rockers. Government only have so much control over an economy and not to any extent which enables them to maintain enough control to acurately manipulate it.

To summarise here are some things i do not believe:

I do not believe our MPs are actively conspiring to hand over control to the EU with the intended aim of destroying the country.

I do not believe the EU is a conspiracy of foreigners to take over Britain

I do not believe Common Purpose is a subversive organisation seeking to destroy this country.

I do not believe MPs are out to get the British people

I DO believe the government machine, and the scientific view of society, and the unfortunate consequences of the political system (detatchment from reality of leaders caused by 24/7 press and advisors) is to blame for much of our problems.

A good coumentary to watch is
