    This is the spin I was reading in the local Deutsche paper. The strongest economies here know it's to their benefit for the PIGS to recover, even if they default the state shall always survive and they'll look to those who helped them in the their darkest hour.

    Thank you.

    I mean those two brothers, yes. You've got to hand to them though, they've positioned themselves in the US at the bottom of the slope.

    They do seem to get through a lot of editors

    During their ownership of The Scotsman the newspaper went through seven editors in nine years

    ...

    At the Telegraph Group, Murdoch MacLennan made over 100 journalists redundant in 2006, prompting the National Union of Journalists to consider strike action. The Sunday Telegraph editor Dominic Lawson was sacked and replaced by Sarah Sands in June 2005 but she lasted just nine months. Patience Wheatcroft, from The Times was appointed editor in March 2006. She was later replaced by Ian McGregor in 2007.

    National debts are never forgotten, and nothing is ever written off.
    Can't find the Churcill quote (Winston that is).
