All of you Brits on the Foro, whatever you may think of your governments over the past ten years, should be bloody glad that they kept the pound sterling and refused to join the Eurozone. The Eurozone was doomed the minute it expanded to include too many countries with disparate economies, different approaches to fiscal and labor discipline, and gamesmanship regarding tax evasion. In my opinion, you can be proud of both the Queen's diamond jubilee and the pound sterling. Three cheers for both!
Cheers,
Bill

Don't ever think Farage represents the British. He's a right wing, anti-EU, arse. Basically the voice of our most popular rag of lies and spin, the Daily Mail, the readers of whom are generally lazy thinkers duped into thinking everything in its appalling editorial is correct and based on fact.
I'm not sure you're right. He seems like a man in full command of the facts.
The last thing we want to do is get mixed up with countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal. Their economies are rubbish, tax evasion and corruption are everywhere, and their police/justice systems haven't made much progress over the past 600 years (eg the missing McCan girl in Portugal, the ridiculous case against Knox in Italy, etc).
A British guy got stuck up a cliff in Greece a day or two ago before falling to his death - he was up there for 3 hours and the Greeks couldn't even manage to get a rope!

Agreed.
Just that I think it quite worth to omitt the common impressions as if such actions were coincidental, mistakes, missed out management etc. of administration that only failed while intending to act in the interest of the people.
The actual characteristics behind misconducts like with the introduction of the Euro, become evident at the latest when there is regard of what happened for instance with the hologram stamps during the preparation of the new currency release.
One of two hologram stamps that were transported in a guarded plane of the German Bundeswehr just disappeared.
And neither were the stamps newly edited to prevent misuse, nor was the disappearing ever investigated.
Since then the inflation of the European currency must be partially based on heaps of counterfeit money that comes in just like original.
This being just one of the hints on the criminal energy behind official spectacles.
If looking into further aspects, like who bought up real estate, production plants or infra structure beforehand in coming EU member states, or how Brussel is being managed anyway, the actual aims behind official outlay will be just obvious.
There is no mistaking on such level; only coups.
