Looks like nothing changes. A remark I heard about the European (Common Market) economy in 1991:
'a wahing-line economy, with tumble dryer aspirations'

I wonder if Ed wanted the endorsement?

The pressing matter now for Cameron and Blair is making sure Gaddafi is not taken alive as they don’t want him talking that’s for sure.
