The Euro was a 'political' creation. Designed to 'unite' Europe.

But 'money' is not political. Money takes no prisoners.

And Money does not recognise the Geneva Convention.

Interesting times ahead. Reap what you sow.

Best Regards,

No, the EU and the Euro was designed to create the "greatest" bureaucracy the world have ever seen and to give Germany the power over Europe without armed forces. These so called liberals spawned all these ideas and now it's like Soviet Russia was with centralized power. Some paper-shifter in Brussels is deciding how our cucumbers here in Finland should be shaped (I'm kidding you not). It's gonna break up, say whatever you want and turmoil will follow and I know that it won't be pleasant to be a politician or a banker when that happens because that's where the blame will fall.

P.S With regards to the OT, no that is not a new Winston Churchill, that is a political troll that does have a few good points...that's it.

We must fight back in the bureaux of government, Addman. Not so long ago the Brussels mob tried to control the length and straightness of the bananas that we Britons could purchase in our stores and supermarkets.

Noting this, and preferring the magnificent curves of the Jamaican variety to the stubby digits presumably grown in the now defunct marijuana factories of Holland; our government spoke out in Europe and gained an exemption.

I'm not sure whether we sent N.Farage to insult the Belgian Prime minister or something - but we won.

Winston would simply have sent the Royal Navy to blockade the Belgian ports.

Nice choice. WWIII ~ 10 years later.

WWW3 will be about resources.
What threatens Europe are riots and civil wars - either way we go.

Imho splitting Eurozone into a northern- and southern Eurozone is the way to go.
