Sounds like sas has gambled his life savings, selling the euro hoping for a crash.
Now he's sweating because he's realised the euro is still strong after all problems in Greece.
I would kiss that 2k goodbye dude, your dream of paying off your mortgage before you get to 70 is now back in lottery ticket land.

In the Euro area, policy is being run for the rich countries to the detriment of the poorer ones.

When we've been unable to maintain colonies the strategy seems to be import the world's population onto our tiny little island.
No one is forcing the UK to be part of the EU yet it is accepted and is beneficial. You'd be starving now if it were not for those eastern europeans picking your crops.

I'd say the opposite. Most of the UK wants to avoid being made a colony of a federal Europe.

If Scots' circumstances are so different, it seems harsh to impose the fiscal policies of a much wealthier state on them.
Agreed. The same can be said for Northern England, not just Scotland.

The pound is shrinking as is the country with threat of union breakup, through no fault other than our own.
This is not an argument for the euro this is self destruction of a country that thinks colonially rule is fit for the modern world. The euro is wonderful because it offer change from that thinking, which is most refreshing.
I'd say the opposite. Most of the UK wants to avoid being made a colony of a federal Europe.

Originally posted by scooterscot View PostWhat a waste of time you spent writing all that.
I never said I supported what has happened, or argued in support of the single currency. I'm talking about the consequences. The facts the likely outcomes of those facts. I'm not into polities like you guys, why is that so hard for you to understand?
My post are about facts not speculation, if's and maybes.

Couple of things I don't get.
1) It's a global economy, so to understand what is or might happen to the Euro we would have to look further afield than our own back yard. Shirley?
2) Russia, Iran, Chile etc have all dumped the dollar in favour of trading oil in Euros. They're not likely to do that if they thought the euro was going to collapse.
3) The global elite (Bilderberg group) had the european union as their pet project since the 1960s and are unlikely to let it fail. To bail out a country to them is pocket change, albeit I can see Greece is already dead to them.
4) It appears to me that the bankers are just using delaying tactics to defer defaults. This can't happen for ever, but you kind of wonder whether anyone actually knows what to do, and instead just keep raising debt thresholds in a vain attempt to delay the inevitable. (The US for example)
