CONTROVERSY over British membership of the euro was reignited after it emerged that Business Secretary Lord Mandelson said it was "obviously" still an objective of the Government.
Conservatives claimed that Britain would have suffered more in the recession if it had not had the freedom to lower its own interest rate.

But Lord Mandelson insisted that the European single currency had been "a great success" during the downturn.

On balance the euro would have been far better for the scottish economy over the time of its existence.

Sterling monetary policy is run for the benefit of london.

The last thing scotland needs it the tories little englander attitude. It is also silly with regard to scotland. They are against a country giving sovereignty up and want decisions taken at the nation state. But then say scotland should then give up most of it decision making and allow its larger neighbour to make its decisions. Daft and completely inconsistent.
