Yeah, I thought that. Most of the banking activity occurs in the UK and it does not use the Euro.

Being in Europe is good, especially when you are not in the Eurozone and can say stuff your poxy currency. Gives us a good hand in the EU poker game! Take the benefits of EU membership but leave the crap to others to deal with.

Dear fools,

Cameron woke up long time ago who is in bed with the British banks who were bailed out. Remember, the so called Irish bail out? Where do you think the money went and who is paying for it? Hint, it's not only the Irish people. Let me remind you british fools it's not only the Eurozone that is in trouble, it's also the UK that keeps printing and keeps interest rates close to zero for the speculators (banksters : HSBC, RBS, Barclays ect.) what hurts the savers (thats why you have inflation)
I've typed this many times here, but it seems you zombies still believe it's only the EU. wrong folks, it's the EU, UK, and the US. not to forget the Canadian and Australian banks that have exposure to US, and European banks. This ponzi scheme won't last long. Question now is, when are people going to wake up.
