  Brian - try reading what is said and addressing what is said if you want a sensible debate, take a hint from Peter.
  
  Peter, I know exactly what I mean but the point I was trying to make in that was simply this.
  
  The people of countries most deeply in the do-do as a result of their fiscal irresponsibility such as Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal, may well, just but with protest, accept the difficult medicine involved in the spending cuts required if made by a government they elected. But, if those same cuts were to be imposed by the Germans and French who they did not elect then we have a recipe for a disaster. These countries have a record of turning to fascist or military regimes in the very recent past when in difficulty and that may well happen in this situation... The EU could well be torn apart by that, not just the currency - not necessarily a bad thing to end the mad experiment with the European superstate but overall it would create yet more problems for us. Better an orderly break up of the Euro for all concerned.
