as i have several times said, cameron knows just what he doing
relative to the eu...and it's ghastly bastard offspring, the euro.

just wait and make encouraging noises off....

even the milipede is making desperate flapping noises about eu
referendums as he once more tries to jump onto a passing
bandwagon

Prime Minister David Cameron also spoke of the financial storm clouds
across Europe, warning that eurozone leaders must act swiftly to solve
its debt crisis or face the consequences of a potential break up.

He said during Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons:
"The eurozone has to make a choice. If the eurozone wants to continue
as it is, then it has got to build a proper firewall, it has got to
take steps to secure the weakest members of the eurozone, or it's
going to have to work out it has to go in a different direction,

"It either has to make up or it is looking at a potential break up.
That is the choice they have to make, and it is a choice they cannot
long put off."

rong as usual dedfromtheneckupman....it means that i
can select between facts....and propaganda...
the bbc and wikipedia etc retails both indiscriminately

if these outlets tell me that marilyn is the name of
a well known thespian...i will take them on trust...
if milipede or a 'reporter' is on, i will be more inclined to
mitigate my boredom by counting the lies

i doubt they fake the pictures of cameron those words...
although i am well aware of how editors falsify 'reports'
by tape cutting and splicing

what 'secret'...it's only secret from those who don't observe

him to be an intelligent or reliable source

I see the situation as being very similar to that in the US prior to the
Great Depression. The result was a huge shift in power to the federal
government with the establishment of the federal reserve bank.

What I think the Euro crisis proves is that it is difficult to maintain
a high level of state sovereignty at the same time as a single currency.

One possible solution is to have a smaller and more integrated Eurozone-
effectively a single country- with a second periphery level that remains
like the original Common Market as essentially a trade bloc. But that
still leaves the issue of serious cultural and related economic
divisions between the major players - France, Germany and Italy. The
Saxon and Scandinavian countries- which to a certain extent ironically
includes Britain (or at least England) probably have enough in common to
make tighter integration work, but then again there isn't the necessary
will to do so.

they're presently squabbling over who controls the ecb...

they were warned of this before it was set up...
the hubristic pols wanted to use the euro as a means of
forcing integration(a single state) as one of the daft and
conflicting objectives

why do you suppose one split would not be followed by another...and
another?

It's arguable that UK would be in a similar position because we run a
persistent trade deficit.

Balance of payments and prices are both massive problems for Greece.

Greece leaks money thanks to a constant trade deficit. Much of that money is
a liability to Germany. Eventually it all has to be balanced out. But how,
when Greece doesn't export much?

If that's of interest, here's how it works and why it's gone wrong:

It's perfectly possible to regard the EU as a good idea, but the Euro as a bad one. Or to think that the EU needs a kick up the backside, while still wanting to be a member.

I see no inconsitency between the two statements.
