The post you are reporting:
Paul B, what can Britain gain by joining in on discussions over the eurozone crisis? I'd have thought it better to let the eurostates and aspiring eurozone countries sort that one out themselves.
Ireland has now officially hit recession with a substantial -2% in the last quarter. France is dipping into the bailout area.
Britain cannot afford to give any more money - not even in form of loans - to any other country, and yet, to "save the euro" trillions of euros would be needed.
And Britain would have to give hundreds of billions of pounds towards that sum.
Surely Britain and Ireland could pull out of the EU and both flourish, and trade with Europe and the world. I would fully support letting Ireland off with any owed loans to Britain.
But, if we get involved in discussions on the eurocrisis, we'd end up being asked to pay hundreds of billions to half of the bankrupt Eurozone states, and believe me, they would never be able to pay that money back.
Does anyone really believe Greece will ever repay their outstanding loans?
Nick Clegg has just signed away any chance of the LibDems ever getting near a seat in Parliament again. But surely Dave must realise that if he says once more to the masses: "no EU referendum, we must save the euro", he will end up loosing the support of everyone in this Country.
I'm beginning to wonder if millionaire Dave likes being cynical to the people, if he likes making us suffer.
