This could throw every economy in western Europe into chaos.

That would be the plan, yes. Not long now.

but FFS, the EU must NEVER AGAIN allow a country into the Euro that hasn't demonstrated iron fiscal discipline for at least 20 years.

That rules UK then.

Yes. Good. I don't want a country that has gone close to bankruptcy twice in my lifetime (Labour 1979, 2010) ruining the money in my pocket. Britain does not have the fiscal discipline to join a currency that should actually have been restricted to Germany, Holland and a few others in a sort of modern version of the Hanseatic league.

You know, as a British citizen I'm neutral about the Euro but as a resident of a Euroland country I'd say no because Euroland already has enough fiscal basket cases to deal with.

I agree - it would disastrous for both sides.

You see the other big risk is five years from now. A conservative government, hated because of the painful cuts it will have to make, gets thrown out for a ‘New Improved Labour’ government, led by some smiling, charming chappy who says ‘we’ve changed and things can only get better’, which then goes and squanders it all over again on all sorts of unprofitable shytte.

Britain cannot be a fiscally stable country as long as the Labour party remain liable to win power.

And so the cycle begins again.

Labour shag the country, the Conservatives rebuild.

It's happened before(on numerous occasions) and it'll happen again.

Cue Lion King song...

It's the circle......

The circle of life.....

Aye.

I'm genuine when I say I think that they should be put on trial along with those that have collaborated with them.
