fluffy666 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Game on again... What we need is a big European Crisis summit, that'll fix it. Or the cumulative cost of holding all of these big once-and-for-all-resolve-the-problems summits will bankrupt the EU. Either way it's all good*. *bad.

CrashInHand Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Obviously they need to change the PM again. Tho may be just changing them is not enough. Perhaps some sort of Strictly Lamppost 'reality' show could be organised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicestersq Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Anyone see Paxo bash Mandelslime on Newsnight last night? Paxo hit him with his numerous praisings of the 'success' of the euro, and the Dark Lord refused to accept he was wrong. Instead he urged closer integration with Europe. Maybe if the EU itself collapses over the euro, he will lose his fat cat European pension? We can but hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone baby gone Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Another day, another Eurozone crisis. Any chance installing a puppet head of state in Spain or Portugal will help here? Probably best to do it anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrashingisles Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 What is needed is unprecedented determination and decisiveness to act in a coordinated fashion. This is an attack on Italy by Anglo-Saxon bankers and will not be accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantnrave Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) I'm guessing it needs to breach new highs (over 7.4%) to generate much media interest in this country. Spanish rates have hit 6.31% so the cavalry are on their way. 6.46% would be a new high for Spanish bonds...

All money withdrawn from eurobonds / eurozone. Hatches battoned down and welded up as well. Giving 50/50 chance that it all blows up before Xmas.

Bloo Loo Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 wot, the lenders demand a return for their risk? wot, interest rates are rising? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Of course, yesterday evening the BBC News was telling the nation that 'the markets' had apparently 'approved' the anointing of 'Super Mario' as the next Italian PM, despite the fact that the borrowing rate for Italy had risen on the day. Who cares about inconvenient facts when you've got a story to tell, eh? I wonder when 'the Markets' are imposing higher borrowing (and therefore interest) rates for the UK will they be portrayed in such a light? Oh, but I was of course forgetting that it's only Europe that has a debt crisis unlike the UK which is sitting pretty, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ING looks OK, you have a 100k euro guarantee. Hre we use Swiss francs, quite safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
