Erm, Nigel Lawson?

Funny how Nigel Lawson has been on the radio talking about how the whole Euro project was a disaster from the get go.

I seem to remember that he was very keen on the ERM, the pre-cursor to full monetary union. It was partly the reason for his resignation, along with disagreeing with Margaret Thatcher's economics advisor, Alan Walters.

He had also run a policy of shadowing the Deutschmark, one reason for the "Lawson blip" or early Nineties recession. Bit rich to now be banging the anti-Euro drum now isn't it?

Squiffy
