If the Germans had any sense left they would get rid of Greece and then Italy, France, Spain, Portugal ................Well you get the drift. The EU was sold to the UK in the 1970s as a trading area. Nothing much was said about a political union with loonies and fraudsters in all the top jobs.

This whole mess just emphasises the wide gap between a political dream and the reality of the markets imho. The Brussell sprouts must be scratching their heads now for a solution !! The debacle of corruption and incompetence is now showing publicly. The EU is badly in need of reform and needs to...

What a mess !! The lawyers will be having a " Field Day " for years to come. Could be the words of a pop song Where did all those billions go ? Long time passing.

Of the 95% that fail I expect about 94% give up .

The holiday destinations sound great especially if one lives in a big city but I think one could get very bored living on a tropical island paradise. 3 weeks of sun sea and sand is quite enough.

If I was the bossman I would have a capital wealth tax on the rich of 10% per year. Would pay to fill in the potholes on the roads and stir the pot up a bit with venture capital for NEW ideas.

Have you seen the bailout terms by Leutakia on FXCM ? Al Capone could have written them.

So who told SNB to suddenly drop the trap-door ? Looks like dirty business to me.

The 2 reasons put forward are:- 1. The SNB ( Swiss National Bank ) suddenly changed it's rules. 2. Part of the US embargo against the Russians. Alpari is owned by the Russians. And yes I have a small account with them and so am pissed off either way.

Cheap oil at less than $50 a barrel will be the death of many renewables. When they are gone they will put it up to $100 plus.

I told my girlfriend that it is because I care that I mentioned it. She has lost 1 1/2 stone in the last 2 months !! At least an extra 5 years of living I reckon by the stats. She should be grateful :rolleyes:

I like a house with a garden and water frontage. Not some awful glass and steel bird cage - yukeeeeeeeeee
