Soundbite politics, very easy to say, yet very hard to do.

How big would the fund need to be if the large Euro countries (Spain & Portugal) needed covering for a bail out?

E100bn or maybe E250bn ?

You forgot Italy. Oh deary me.

Being a very proud conspiraloon by now, I can tell you without a (shadow government) of a doubt this will spread through the euro, media blackouts or not.

Watch Eastern Europe first. How are you all in Estonia, have you all calmed down yet or are you just warming up for the big one?
