TONY Blair's admission that we should drop the pound in favour of the European single currency, even though the British don't want it, proves he is just as arrogant as Thatcher. What will be next, driving on the right or changing our language to German?

We should keep our pound and pull out of Europe and if Blair thinks we can't survive outside the EU, then we should get rid of him as well.
