Re: Eurozone will collapse...
Things will start to hot up now that a number of Eurozone countries have had their credit ratings down-valued.
Does not look good for Sarcozy prior to the French elections.
Maybe politicians will start to think the unthinkable i.e. that things might be helped if THEY cut their OWN salaries instead of those of everybody else. A person on £100k per year is equivalent to 10 workers on £10k per year but it is doubtful if they do 10 times the work.
Sadly, this government have not realized that more highly paid bosses means fewer actual workers on the ground. Instead of sacking workers they should have reduced wages especially those at the top who have been disproportionately overpaid.
Nice to see that the Lloyds CEO has waived his obscene £2.4 million bonus. That will probably save the jobs of poorer bank workers lower down the chain of command. Pity more bosses cannot think like that instead of simply sacking workers to improve the balance sheet.
The government itself is definitely out of touch with the lives of ordinary people and seems to be more pound foolish than penny wise!! Maybe if they were all on lower salaries they would appreciate better the economics of everyday life for the poor and unemployed in Coalition Britain.

IMF chief Christine Lagarde has warned the world faces an economic spiral reminiscent of the 1930s unless action is taken on the eurozone crisis.

Well Merkel reckons a 'big rethink' is needed:

Does this mean she now realises the 'one size fits all' Euro straightjacket doesn't work I wonder?  What is driving this Eurolalaland obsession??

Become a peer then you can fiddle all you like and claim poverty when you're caught.... 
Or become a Labour PM promising to help the poor and when you've been rumbled and booted out, spend most of your life making money and buying multi-million pound property.

The new figures show more than half of all 16-24 year-olds are jobless - 51.4% compared with 45.8% before.
