Get out of the Euro mess
is better for us.

joeysteele 25-03-2011 02:08 PM

We refused to join the Euro yet we have to maybe now help Portugal.

Who helps us when we are in any difficulty.

Now they Demand Money to save them.

Poxy Euro
it does not work.

Beyond a joke and I bet we will have to donate to the bail out too. Where's the richer EU Nations helping the UK with our deficit problem,how can International money fund watchdogs expect a Nation that has supposedly major deficit problems of its own to then donate to bail outs of other Nations.

This is the economics of madness.

Yes then is Spain Next?


They need to change the Euro
it does not work.

joeysteele 07-04-2011 09:51 AM

I never supported joining the Euro,it also would not surprise me if Spain was next especially if Portugal gets a substantial bail out.

I am not a supporter of any single party but I did hope for stronger language and determination as to the EU from the Conservative party especially as to bailing out Nations in difficulty that joined the Euro considering we refused to,although I do realise they will need to keep the Lib Dems happy as they are really pro all that is the EU.

Yes New Labour Locked the UK into this Bail Out Deal.
They were wanrned not to back in '97

I understand that our economy could completely collapse again if we don't help, but who helped us when ours did collapse a few years ago?

Vicky. 07-04-2011 11:47 AM

Just :bored:

Yup. Brilliant point there. All seem perfectly happy to take yet not happy to give back.

Annoys me no end this does, even though personally it makes not much difference to me. Just an extra bit of tax, get taxed to death anyways so an extra few quid makes no difference.

What do you mean get Ireland to fund them? If we had any money we wouldn't have needed a bail out in the first place!

Yes its a bad way to be.


If Spain is next
then the Euro should change to 2 types.

:laugh:

Would have thought this was obvious...

Iceman 07-04-2011 12:28 PM

I think people in the UK were less hostile towards us getting the bailout because we're closest to the UK, I can understand why your pissed off about Portugal it's not a 10 minute flight away....

Vicky. 07-04-2011 12:36 PM

I'm not pissed off. I just think its a bit ****, we had to sort ourselves out(which we still havent even done properly tbh)...noone helped us, while other countries seem to just come with their hands out expecting help...and getting it :/

Any nation can crash though. We did.

As I said the only problem I have(and even this doesnt bother me that much) is that noone helped us while we were in the ****.

Portugal and Ireland are in a lot worse state than we were tbf, I'm not particularly opposed to giving them assistance although it frustrates me that these countries irresponsible leaders let things get the way they are.

arista 07-04-2011 02:09 PM

The Euro is Bonded
with all the nations
What Size fits All.

But now we see
the Euro is No Longer Safe.
Utter Fact.
