The Cyprus banks are closed for one more day; that gives the EU and the Cyprus government one day in which they can come to their senses and drop this whole stupid plan for hitting the account holders. I hope they do. I doubt they will. At this rate The EU is committing suicide and is going to drag a lot of people down with it.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

So when a lot of people who, I would suspect quite knowingly, put their money into banks that offered basically a way of not paying tax in their own country are annoyed (I'm not including Cypriots themselves who are paying the burden of having what seems to be now corrupt banking system) when such tactics as this thread is seen as wholesome by a government?
I feel sorry for the Cypriots as whatever happens they're ****ed but I don't feel sorry for those people who squirreled away their funds here to bypass their own countries finance laws.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Well they voted against it: BBC News - Cyprus MPs reject EU-IMF bailout tax on bank depositors
Lets see what happens now, maybe they'll leave the EU then decide to reunite the whole island now and become part of Turkey which will then be allowed to join the EU
