That's a slippy one.

I'd probably take the missionary position.

Pour it down the drain, and encourage the fuzzy-wuzzies to use dripping, sparingly.

I'm starting to wonder what all the fuss is about. So what if the Greeks leave the Eurozone, or the EU for that matter. They go back to the Drachma ... it's a little more difficult to spell, but it won't make much difference. I mean, how much more of a mess can there economy be in? Seems llike the ones taking the biggest beating ... sorry, the new buzzword is "haircut" ... are the banks Well boo hoo. That really depresses me Oh, and the Krauts will be po'd. And in this kinder, gentler, more politically correct century, they won't be able to jackboot their way into Greece, and line up naughty Greeks against the wall and shoot them.

I wonder what kind of state Greece would be in if they hadn't have joined up in the first place?

i think more countries shoudl leave the EU because everything got more expensive on holiday as soon as they switched to the euro

if we cant get a democratic vote to leave the EU then the next best thing is every single other country leaves it

Of course false accounting by the Greek government and their dubious dealings with Goldman Sachs had nothing at all to do with the problems we are all facing now.

And now Italy It's not worth a new thread; same shlt, different location. But guess what boys and girls, brace yourselves, Merkel is saying that the only solution to economic collapse is more political integration ... A united Europe under German leadership perhaps ... mmm, wasn't that tried a couple of times in the last century

It certainly looks like we are heading that way,even Camerans promise that any more changes to the current treaty would lead to a referendum has been changed to "Any major changes"

So keep chipping away at our democracy a bit at a time and no one will notice.

Considering what happened in North American Stock Markets yesterday, "major changes" are inevitable. In fact, if the Italian situation deteriorates ... and what else can it do .... the whole Eurozone is in deep doo doo. But it's all up to Merkel and Sarkozy ... seems like you guys don't rate.

Check out Professor Mario Monti - Economist, Rector of the Bocconi Uni. of Milan, convinced of the validity of the Eurozone.

Not an elected member of the Italian parliament but made a Life Senator yesterday in a manoeuvre by President Napolitano which sees him as a likely successor to Berlusconi as PM when he steps down.

Berlusconi was noticeable by his absence today -apparently his doctors have ordered him to rest for health reasons.
