Whats this we business?

I certainly did not choose to become a contractor to minimise tax.
Keep me out of your tax dodging.

Excellent; what you pay will make up for the rest of us dirty spekulants.

One of the main reasons we are contractors is to minimise tax.

We should be sending food and medical aid if they are in trouble, if not massive financial bailouts.

Honestly, every country should chip and help a little with medical aid and food supplies - it won't impact everybody if it is a little but will make a huge difference to them.

Whats this we business? If you think its a problem and you should help then do so. Dont involve me or others.

One of the main reasons we are contractors is to minimise tax which most of it is stolen to meddle and "help" other poor people. This is also the main reason this country is fked! Socialist meddling in things that should just be allowed to take their course.

U was watching ITV News yesterday (don't normally but just happened to be first thing that I switched on to) and it was talking about how bad things are in Greece. People are queuing up for free food there, they have no medicines for cancer or simpler diseases, suicide rate is getting worse by the day and people are selling off everything to buy food. This sounds like a 3rd world country to me not a European one which is part of the Eurozone.

Firstly, my sympathy is with those Greeks suffering (though not with the Greeks who caused this and are now suffering) for going through something which must be incredibly demoralising with little hope for the future.

Secondly is this situation going to spread? Firstly to Spain, Italy and then eventually on to us? It really is worrying times....

Are you sure you're talking about Greece?

I would not place an amount more than a weeks worth of hotel accomodation into these places. Basket cases the lot.

If you want decent returns plenty of funds are poised to march on into 40% returns over the coming year.

I think you'll find these Med countries slowly move into recovery mode.

FFS man, Italy has been in recovery mode since the Goths sacked Rome.

When I hear stories like this I get a Ragin' Fury (tm) at the common currency.

I work with someone who spends a bit of time in Europe and he's one of those "I'm not British I'm European" types.

He's got excuses for everything that is wrong with the EU and especially the euro, based mainly on "all countries should be made to follow the rules" and "if there isn't a rule there should be".

Oh God, I know someone like that. A weird mixture of the novelty hound (change for the sake of it, because new must be better) but also, ironically, the kind of collectivist mindset that sees safety in numbers and an ordered heirarchy with no change (except to strengthen itself), like the Medievil church. In fact he'd have probably become a monk in the Middle Ages and then been burned for heresy
