It would seem European Finance Ministers are an utterly fearless bunch..
Yet more billions of Euro's will go to prop up Greece.. and regardless of the depth of the Greek austerity program, that country and it's creditors are looking at a debt the size of which will take literally decades to repay..
France and Germany are spooked. The prospect of one of the member countries being forced to withdraw from the Union and give up the Euro is giving Angela nightmares..
A taxi driver this evening made it all so simple..
To quote:.." Europe..? It's uttly f*cked.."
Perhaps lacking in erudition.. direct, and to the point though..
..There's a little Samuel Pepys in all of us..
