Re: the end of the euro in Spain
Here's a nice contrast between what others think, and then some of our own at the end.

I agree that it looks like 38 years down the drain.

Re: the end of the euro in Spain
Just watched Danny Alexander on the Andrew Marr show, he was asked 4 times what Labour would have done in the same situation... he replied 4 times that they would have... "Done things differently..."
Well thats OK then.

Anything differently to what Cameron did would have been an improvement.

Re: the end of the euro in Spain
Yeah I meant to say Douglas Alexander... Should have been able to tell the difference considering the hair!
Considering Clegg's and Cable's criticisms of the outcome their answer would have been the same anyway!

Re: the end of the euro in Spain
My point about DOUGLAS Alexander is that after being asked 4 times the only answer he could give was that he would have done it different, well thats like the guy sat in the pub who shouts at the TV when Rooney misses the goal and says, "I wouldn't have kicked it like that!"
Labour had 13 years to "do it different" and all they did was do the same as everyone else.

What with the hopeless Euro compared with that masterfully managed Pound Sterling, I bet the exchange rate must be about five for one. Let me just look it up.
Huuuh?

Re: the end of the euro in Spain
Really? How mate? One of the things that Labour are trying to push as an agenda in Europe is tighter austerity measures and a crack down on overspending. So a Labour party in Britain is endorsing austerity measures in Europe far away from its own electorate, further proving that if Labour got back in they would be doing exactly the same thing that the Con-Dems are doing now.

Re: the end of the euro in Spain
The media love to stir and sensationalize dont they lol! I think for the first time, for a long time the UK has done something strong and for itself! Its not worried about what the others think. We're not behaving like little frightened sheep at last, but standing up for ourselves. It makes me feel safe that our government is holding its head up and standing up for itself

And if the UK do completely isolate themselves from Europe then you very well may find your life in Spain cut short

Re: the end of the euro in Spain
Given that you live and bring your kids up in Spain then actually what the Spanish government do has far more consequencies to you than what the UK government do
