(335 posts)I never said anything different than that the UK is on its own currency and so on.
I discussed the POLITICS of it in terms of who voters blame etc.
And you're wrong as well that the EU has 'nothing to do with austerity'. While England sets its own budget policies, the EU has been pushing austerity, and is viewed as having gone to the neo-liberal policies.
Or perhaps you'd like to explain to the BBC why they were wrong in their article titled "EU austerity drive country by country" to list UK austerity passed by the UK government as one of the countries.

There has been a broad push for austerity across Europe.
Voters don't like it much. They're rebelling, and many link it with the EU though it's more about the conservatives.
