The title pretty much says it all. Any guesses?

With hind sight greece should have started printing money and stock piling it at the first sign it was in trouble ,inflation would rise it generally does when you do this but better than banks running out of money.

The EU would protest but if you had the ability to print money i would stick two fingers up to them ,but then sticking two fingers up to some unelected system of control is good anyway.

Greece still must have the plates for drachmas ,print those if the euro cannot be printed ,money is nothing special its just an iou ,if you can use sea shells as currency drachmas will work internally use euros to pay government offshore debt

 

Or start building bitcoin machines and printing invisible ious

 

The government is quite lucky in one way the greeks would rather the government went broke than a bunch of germans running the country ,well until not having money at all makes them look differently at the problem.

At least our government wasnt foolish enough to put all our money in the EU basket but as noted it will be the domino effect ,perhaps they will all come begging for a loan of some sterling? Hopefully our government tells them as my mum did often "you made your bed ,lie in it"

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

When Heath took us towards the United States of Europe (the euphemism of that time was " Common Market") I voted against it. I am still against it, and the rotten bridge that is "United Europe" will crumble sooner or later, whether or not Greece stays, and whether or not we stay.

 

The whole edifice typifies the worst in politics. Politicians getting rich on inaction. A reluctance to face real issues. (eg Middle East? Russia? terrorism ? immigration? finance? ) and that shilly-shallying coupled with an emphasis on excessive legislation over trivia.

 

Yes, the EU fears the domino effect. Lots of "rules" are being bent to try to keep Greece in - I wonder how many will be bent to try to keep the UK in ? Getting a better deal from the EU for the UK should prove one of Cameron's easier tasks. Whether that deal will be enough for us in the UK to vote to stay with the EU is anyone's guess.

At the moment I find it very helpful as I earn money in sterling and change it to Euros so the drop in value of the Euro means I get more of them.

On a slightly less personal note, I think that the edifice is starting to crack around the edges and papering over the cracks is not going to work. Ironically, Greece could be a catalyst for change and improvement within Europe.

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

All,

 

Having read and listened to "opinions" I'd like to make a general statement about history.

 

The greater the arms length the greater the risk. If you start with the family, local government, state government, then a united government of states the EU would be the first time in recorded history it has worked. (The word "state" is used in the political science meaning i.e. nation).

 

Currently, if you "follow the money" I cannot discount the coalesces of Germany and satellites with India - or China (history would dictate no chance with Russia). Historically power is money.

all speed cameras should be set light to ehh Sean.

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..
