How can anyone be convinced of the validity of the Eurozone after the schmozzle that has gone on over the last few months? |
Re: Greece Bailout
I had to smile this morning the BBC had Alistair Darling on Breakfast TV giving his opinion about the euro zone crisis, that's a bit like asking Dracula what he thinks about the blood transfusion service

This is a listing of the Greek austerity measures which are in the process of being introduced:
Greece: List of new austerity measures I am completely baffled as to why the word 'austerity' is being used. If these policies were to be implemented in the UK economy, most people would think Christmas has come early. |

VAT has just been put up to 21% here -that should help get the economy moving and boost sales just before Xmas:rolleyes: Love the word Schmozzle Margaret -it's a new one to me, but sounds very apt!:) |

Fancy being forced to work until you're 65 to qualify for a pension. No wonder they're trying to oppose these measures. :rolleyes: |
Re: Greece Bailout
The problem for the Germans is the Mediterranean nations devalue the Deutchmark.
The problems for the Greeks as I said to Bone and Nuttall, if your a Greek with a €100k and someone whispers Drachma, you shift your Euros to a bank outside of Greece. The question is if everyone thinks the same, what happens to the Drachma and the Greek economy, Greek banks? Can any of them survive? Will the position not be cataclysmic compared to where they are now? A run on the Drachma that would resemble a run on the Zimbadwean currency? |

Drachma? :confused: What about the guilder, florin, and groat? How are they affected by the financial meltdown, we're seeing on mainland Europe? |
Re: Greece Bailout
It is all academic really. So much money has been put into saving (or trying to save) the Eurozone when it all looks doomed to fail.
This situation has been dragging on and on, with, it seems no real decisive action. No leadership. Europe has dragged the global economy to the brink. Lost organisations billions of pounds....and for what? So that something that only France and Germany seem to truly want, can remain in place. If the people of these struggling economies were to be consulted,many of them would happily go back to their own currencies, devalue them and possibly leave the EU. The EU is crumbling before our eyes, the common people can see it, but the politicians cannot. Isn't it time these politicians took a reality check? |

It's one of the most bizarre posts ever made, in the history of Accy Web. What does it mean? More detail might help, re: Bone, and Nuttall, for those not in such exalted positions of political power, who probably haven't a clue who you're referring to. Folks round here are more likely to work in packing, than in palaces. What might make perfect sense in the Palace of Westminster, doesn't up here. I'm guessing to most of your constituents, certainly to me, it's about as clear as mud. :confused: |

Thanks G....it makes little sense to me either.....I just thought I was having a grey moment. |
Re: Greece Bailout
Besides, most of us here aren't really interested in debating what might happen if Greece are thrown out of the Euro zone, and the effect this might have on the German economy.
We might have given a toss, if we felt what we think actually mattered. We now know it doesn't. That, at least, you made perfectly clear. When you voted against us, your constituents, being allowed the democratic right to have our say in an E.U. referendum. :mad: |
Re: Greece Bailout
As an ex civil servant I am used to waffle talk more than most.
He uses obscure language to warn of the collapse of greek banks. The poor sods who have savings will lose them. I've never heard of Bone and Nuttall, but will do a name drop of my own - Gerald Celente. The collapse of ALL banks is imminent. If you have savings, spend most of it on what you long for most. If this doesn't leave enough left for the undertaker, so what ! - nobody gets left on top.:D |
