If you think the UK economy is bad, look at this

[AtW]

Quite right. And its relatively much worse in the PIIGS countries already than it ever will be here.

Oh yes - it is terrible in Europe: slow rip-off trains, bad roads, no desireable exports to speak off, no desired reserve currency - they are shafted I tell ya!

Even if those point were correct, which they're not, it's all moot if you're unemployed.

"GERMAN RAIL PLAN TO CROSS CHANNEL - The Times says Germany is seeking to buy Britain's share of Eurostar in a move that would leave the high-speed international train service entirely under non-British control. The paper says passengers could benefit from direct services between London and several new continental destinations, including Cologne, Frankfurt and Amsterdam."

I'll believe UK has got strong economy when British Rail will be buying inefficieint Germany railways and making them much better. Until then your words have as much value in my eyes as City bulltulipers who were selling AAA graded collaterised tulip.

What has the sale of shares in a company to do with inefficiency or not?
I didn't realise Eurostar was considered inefficient.
What has the above link got to do with the dire state of the PIIGS economies?
Or do you just babble like a retarded child?

We’ll buy UK’s share of Eurostar - and run it better, say Germans

"DB hopes to persuade Geoff Hoon, the Transport Secretary, that it will operate a more efficient service through the Channel Tunnel by drawing on its experience in Germany of integrating trains with other modes of transport. German rail passengers can book an entire journey on just one web-site and with one ticket and can even arrange for an electrically assisted bicycle to be waiting for them at the station."

If I was PM I'd give Germany (and maybe Japan) perpetual license to run British railways on a condition it gets upgraded to 21st century standards (none of this crap of having to open window to bend over out of it to open door from the outside bulltulip) - free license too.
