    Spain, Italy and Greece will never run its economic affairs in the same way as Germany, Scandinavia and other Northern European countries, they are just too different.
    It all started off with trade and my guess is that is where it will all ultimately end up.

    @1 Spain, Italy and Greece have “survived” on ice cream and how much you can charge for sunbeds and pedallos. But now we know that towels are better than sunbeds (softer) and swimming is better than pedallos (exercise). The jury is still out over ice cream. Although Devon cream does make the stuff better.

    Merkel knows the truth, but doesn't care, because after all, she does not work for the german people, but for the german banks that are in deep shit. She knows that the end game is coming closer and closer..

    You have to be kidding, A whole generation has been sacrificed for the EU superstate dream so that the Euro a failed political currency will survive & Merkel is at the heart of the storm, so pretending to care when she made the decisions that lead to vast amounts of youth unemployment is a bit sick. They are not the ‘lost generation’ they are the 'abandoned generation'.
