EU: Another win... NOT

Paraphrased from the Telegraph:

Barroso praises Italy for using "its own initiative"

Silvio says he refused the IMF's financial help

Lagarde says Italy's planned budgetary reforms "lack credibility".

Nice to see the same message...

... another epic fail.

Another reminder of the clowns, in whose fate the Euro rests.

  • Its is difficult to imagine that leaders from the past like Helmut Kohl would ever have allowed the situation to drift along as the current lot are doing.

    "drift". Good word.

    How long will the UK "drift" along, while it's population continues to grow, and it's property shortage continues to increase ?

    Judging by recent experience, for a very long time while property prices continue to see upward pressure.

    Until enough people are priced out, the government will continue to win votes on the back of "free money", and the bulls will continue to wallow in the glow of HPI. Sadly, there are too few people who can see beyond their equity.
