This does it! This country, who's leadership seemingly are nothing more than outright bastards, scumbags, scallies -- whatever what you want to call them -- needs to be smoked out. With friends like the UK, who needs enemies? Resistance in London: Britain Refuses to Boost IMF Aid for Euro Crisis
That does what? I mean, seriously dude - you know that you're posting on a forum... right? You know that you're not going to initiate any action! BTW - I noted that Belgium has been downgraded again, good work!
So long as their beer contains a minimum 7.5% alcohol, I'll keep on propping up their economy, but if they drop the % I'll be like: This does it! This country, who's leadership seemingly are nothing more than outright bastards, scumbags, scallies -- whatever what you want to call them -- needs to be smoked out. With friends like the Belgians, who needs enemies?
You do know that petrol (gas) is mixed into some types of alcohol, don't you? Perhaps it's all their attempts to set the economy on fire for the EURO cause.
After the session I had last night I can actually believe that! WOW, I don't remember going home and have lost my cycle rain leggings. But I took a call today from Moodys (raging hangover did not help), they asked about the session and said they were considering upgrading Belgium on this basis. Apparently myself and a buddy are single handedly propping up their economy. I consider this "taking one for the team".
"UK Refuses To Boost IMF Aid For Euro Crisis:" Good. We've spent enough propping up the failed euro already.
Problem with the EC is that they cannot float their own Euro bonds. The UK kept the pound for a reason, to be independent in things like this. The PM would not have a job in 3 months if he committed the UK to these actions, and the next government would have pulled out of the EU altogether. The EU should have made more stringent requirements for inclusion-meaning more conservative monetary policies with a central controlling bank system-but that would never have passed. Hell, nations like Belgium cannot even form their own government let alone come up with a fiscal policy. More bad news will be coming -France has to reschedule it's own debt soon. Next year there needs to be growth or the EU is up poop creek w/o a paddle.
now Berlusconi is out of the picture? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3101198.stm http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aqEaEbB6dk80&refer=europe
Another winning goal scored by England . This news simply confirms what has been publicly first announced several weeks ago . Janpoor delivers zero news yet again . Contributors should be fully aware of Janpoor's dismal record of trying to forecast EU and UK politics -- whatever he guesses , the exact opposite occurs . It was Janpoor who believed that the recent UK veto moved the UK to the fringes of EU importance . Quite the opposite . And now we see Angela keenly wooing David Cameron and saying that Germany and the UK need to lead a new fashioned EU --- once the EZ has dismantled itself and then been restructured . Come on Janpoor . Try harder and see if you can produce your first useful Topic . And even get something nearly right .
The concept known as "solidarité" in French, "solidariteit" in Dutch or as "solidarität" in German -- seems untranslatable into English.
Yes , Janpoor . You are taking a bit of a hiding , as the facts stack up against your silly Copy and Paste efforts to supply us with fifth rate opinions from fifth rate sources . Today the British Pound continued to strengthen against the stricken Euro .Bye bye Euro . Well done the UK --- yes that little island that according to Janpoor is marginalised and powerless !!!!!!! Even Quantitative Easing failed to rally the markets . And make no mistake , that's what it was . Cheap money to postpone Banks going Bankrupt and yet more re-capitalisation life lines paid for by Tax Payers . Your Copy and Paste nonsense reports will try to hoodwink mugs like you that the move was to increase bank lending . The markets know otherwise . Banks in the Baltic States are falling like flies . Shutting their doors . That tells you all you need to know about the state of Swedish and Norwegian Banks -- they own a great part of the Baltic States finances . The system is in terminal decline , but despite living in the failed State of Belgium , Janpoor lives his life from selective misinformation interspersed with complete facts denial .
Thanks, jan; same to you and yours! If you find the time over the holidays, do keep the English on here stepping.
Looks like UK has not much friends in EU except a little bit unimportant dwarf states from the East Europa.
Ostap , How would you know ? You only need two "friends" in the EU --- Germany and France . Angela has already publicly said that the EU needs Germany and the UK at the helm and we get on fine with France --- there is a running love/hate relationship publicly , but , below the artificial world of politicians , we prosper together ---tens of thousands of French work in the UK because it is a better place and tens of thousands of Brits retire to France because there is more space , better weather and lovely countryside . Sarkozy is a one off ghastly little man with a little man " Napoleonic" complex who will be voted out of power in April .He just says absurd things to obtain publicity in his home country , desperately hoping to get the French public to support him --- they don't , because he is an obvious embarrassment and very unlikeable . Several other countries have adopted the UK " veto" stance in the last fortnight and slowly the majority will fragment and stand alongside us . Read your History , Ostap . The smart money invariably goes on Britain . Why? Because we are the smart boy in the class.
And the concept of personal accountability seems to be missing from many countries in Europe. Hell, even Germany is getting fed up with this. It's like throwing money into a black hole at the monent. We stump up more money, markets gain slightly but always fall again. Where do you think this money (our money) is going? It's being syphoned off by share traders as they "play" the markets.
The European public is very "solidary" (solidaire) with European banks, as they are being bailed out with public funds. That is something I wouldn't mind, if those banks had shared their profits with the public in the past. But, no, we are supposed to prop them up while they take the lion's share
