Can we get this over and done with? OK, so pretty much everyone (except lefties) knows that the Euro was never going to work, pretty much everyone (except the lefties) knew that countries like Greece lied about their economic situation to get into the Eurozone, so we are used to obviously stupid things still being actioned in the EU, but really, what is going on with Greece?
The on-off bailouts, funds, market swings are a daily farce. As a brilliant quote had it in the Spectator this week, nobody ever taxed themselves to prosperity, so why do we think the 'solution' for Greece is any wiser? They cannot stay in the Euro with its fixed exchange rate, full stop. It cannot happen. But the EU don't admit failure so the alchemists carry on. This small bunch of irresponsible pillocks are dragging the world economy down and they will not stop their lunacy.
But then, when someone else is funding you, why should reason and rationale have any place in your world? Particularly when your benefactor has a bottomless pit of money (apparently). It really is the shock of this age, that politicians cannot respond to an obvious stimulus in anything like a common sense way. That is the indictment on our politics and it is time to call time. Enough is enough.
I, as we all have, have heard the endless witterings of the left that we cannot exist without the EU, that we will return to European wars if the EU goes. That is rot. France and Germany would attack each other in or out of an 'EU' if it suited them. There are many reasons why Europe has not seen another Franco-German inspired war and the EU isn't one of them. But our Prime Minister cannot bring himself to address an important problem, let alone address it in a mature and sensible way. He has to cure binge drinking.
