In the proposals for a common rule book, and required sharing of financial information between member-states in the provision of a financial supervisory authority for the whole European Union, not just the euro area, can be seen the the disastrous results for United Kingdom wealth creation the Labour regime is bringing about.
There will be no veto after the Lisbon Constitutional Treaty is ratified; the Labour regime Leader Brown goes to the formal signing on 13 December, making a nonsense of his puppet's opposition to the Padoa Schioppa proposals yesterday. After Lisbon the United Kingdom can do as it's told, and it isn't told much because of its constant opting out; there will be no opt-out on this.

Your title refers to Sartre's "Huis Clos?"
"L'enfer, c'est les autres?"
I do hope I don't sound unfriendly, S. I like other people. I don't like wilfully wrecking choice in important aspects of life in the interests of maintaining the new Labour zombie in a semblance of life and power.
Tax Research - who are on links - suggests choosing titles that will come up when the subject matter of the post is googled, to increase the small effect remarks might have. But choosing apposite, referential titles is half the fun.
Pas du tout, HG! I was merely wondering whether "l'enfer" would be the lamentable bureaucratic crushing of freedom within the Unholy West European Empire, and "les autres" the Euro-croc managerial class.
Very fine interpretation S; sometimes fitting offensive people into their proper place in circles 8 and 9 (though there's no denying how good are their subdivisions and complete coverage of varied disgustingness) doesn't quite catch the offensiveness of the modern bureaucracy; too early and full of colour perhaps? Modern calls for grey and infinitely recurring dullness.
"the disastrous results for United Kingdom wealth creation the Labour regime is bringing about."
The Labour regime is not just destroying wealth, it is re-distributing it to themselves and friends and relatives and supporters.
This is what the Communist Party nomenklatura did on the eve and in the course of "Transition". It was called "self-appropriation" or "auto-privatisation".
But there is another word for the undue appropriation of state assets and power for private benefit: corruption.
Yes indeed C. Because the United Kingdom is an advanced capitalist country the lessons of the transition from realised socialism
to capitalism rarely are applied to it; but large sections of the UK economy are effectively socialist in their purpose, function and operation. The attitudes of their operatives are those of the socialist nomenklatura and some: the NHS; the state education system; the state broadcasting authority; and the uses to which the European Union institutional introductions have been put such as the regional development authorities, would be wholly at home in pre Berlin wallfall eastern Europe.
Listening to an entire convention on problems of transition, I was struck by how much of it applied to large sectors of the UK economy.
The Labour regime certainly displays every characteristic including the monumental arrogance, self-righteousness, tribalism, and enclosed access, joined to the wholesale corruption that was displayed in the realised socialist regimes.
The transition conference, which included just about every known professional in the field,from politicians, through technicians to academics to journalists from the east and the west of Europe, many of whom were once committed to the seeking of a form of realised market or otherwise socialism, was notable, too, for there being not one word of regret for its passing.
Why do we have to put up with it in the UK?
