Its a nice day which you're supposed to have off and all you can do is post on here? Shades of that other misfit, pooper.
I suppose though that you wouldn't want to show your acres of flesh, sunbathing in the park.

Send them to Holland and they can improve the service in restaurants!

The Uk has "control" of it's destiny, which basically means it has carte blanche to drive up inflation, wipe out everybody's savings, and spend spend spend until they're finally driven into bankruptcy.
However, the euro crisis is more serious that ours for at least two reasons.
1. A member nation of the eurozone finds it very difficult to correct its own problems because its primary currency is out of its hands.
2. Nations can be tempted to abrogate their budgetary responsibilities secure in the knowledge that someone else in the eurozone must pick up the tab, such as French banks and German taxpayers.

As Greek debt is denominated in Euros, mainly lent by French banks, this becomes a Euro crisis. As is the debt held by the other PIIGS.
Labour won't be relelected, Ed Milliband has taken them leftward and no one trusts him, not even the unions.
The UK has a track record of implementing radical economic change, EUroland hasn't

If this is a Euro problem why does the UK have to fret, they aren't in the Euro?
