France says Britain should lose its AAA rating

[BlasterBates]

Have to say the qualtiy of the Euro expats seems quite low.
We've got BB' last post which indicates a complete misunderstanding of, well, the whole issue
Scooter who just talks out hios arse.
And you, who seems to ignore the fact that DC did make it very clear weeks before that finanacial tax would be a show stopper but was ignored.

Merkel, Sarkozy Call For New EU Treaty : NPR

The leaders of France and Germany called forcefully Monday for a new European Union treaty that would automatically punish countries that use the euro if they violate existing limits on overspending.

Comprendo!!!

The main eurosceptic argument seems to be that we have successfully defended the right to be wrong. Clearly this is something they value very highly.

If that were the case then they could have done that purely amongst the euro users without involving the others. Which they still can do.

This thread is getting very boring now.

To sum up...

The Euro is looking like a failed experiment. "Europe" is an un-democratic gravy-train for politicians, and the UK is far better off out of it.

Lets move on to something more interesting now, like watching paint dry.

I don't care what they called for last Monday.
Just for you here's a cretin's simple cut-out-and-keep guide to the treaty that was vetoed last week.
As you can see it contradicts everything you said in your last 2 posts.
You really are an imbecile.

No. DC was absolutely right to protect the financial sector, which after all has been contributing to the economy for 500 years.

Yes, presisely that is what they are going to do, but it weakens confidence in the markets, because the UK is seen to be undermining it. It's all about confidence.

The question is was Cameron wise to take a stand at a point when there was no concrete proposal there about the things he was worried about. It was Cameron's gamble to repatriate some powers and gain some things not on the table at the time. Would it not have been wiser to allow the treaty through and fight the other issues whilst the Euro was recovering with Britain's help? rather than Britain seen to be undermining the Eurozone.
