Bye Bye George Papandreou

[scooterscot]

Yet he remains.

What of all those expert armchair opinions that he'll be gone by the end of the week?

And why does Mr Camaroon keep fobbing off Britain's problems as Europe's problems? Is he really that weak? To quote him:

Growing doubts about the euro are dragging Britain towards recession, David Cameron said yesterday as the G20 summit failed to answer key questions about the debt crisis.

Yet the comment below sums up the truth for me just nicely. One day he's going to get found out and the markets are going to have a field day burning the city when they release you cannot inflate a dead duck.

Europe isn't dragging the UK into recession. Sir Fred, Andy Hornby, Adam Applegarth, Margaret Thatcher, Gordon Brown, Blair, RBS, Lloyds TSB, the Unions, BMC, British Steel, The Railways, the Shipbuilders, Barclaycard, British Home Stores, Santa Claus, Arthur Scargill, me and you - Uncle Tom Cobley and all - have dragged Britain into recession. Stop blaming Europe. You and I and that shadowy institiution known only as 'the government' have dun it. Face up to it. We pretended we had more money than we had. Everyone of us. Now we have to pay it back. It's not Greece's fault or Spain's or Ireland's.It's mine and your's. Dave's trying to pick up the pieces by blaming everyone else. It was YOU, thinking your house was worth a million pounds wot dun it. And ME thinking I could buy that bloody Rolex. That's wot's dun it.

Dear Stavros, would you prefer:

a) ten or more years of public sector austerity in return for some loans from the EU
b) no pay, no pension, social disintegration, the army on the streets but you'll get to tell your grandchildren you stood up to those nasty Germans

You might like to take a look at Argentina who defaulted on their loans and the economy grew again healthily. The thing about recessions and defaults is that they clear out the inefficiencies in the markets - in particular waste in the public sector and free up economies to grow again. It is painful but is far better that to be in the grips of a self serving socialist machine which is essentially what the EU is under control for eternity by people who are not interested in your future (the Germans)

. It is painful but is far better that to be in the grips of a self serving socialist machine which is essentially what the EU is under control for eternity by people who are not interested in your future (the Germans)

It's not often that I disagree with you Dodgy, but you are forgetting who started the 'Occupy' movement
The Germans were there first, occupying Poland,Denmark,France , Norway, Yugoslavia and Greece.

they were obviously concerned with their future. haw haw
