Britain could still join the Euro: Tony Blair
2012-06-26
[Iran Press TV] Tony Blair has warned that the problem with Europe's single currency is now so serious that a "grand plan" was the only way forward to prevent a break-up, local media reported.

The former British Prime Minister said Sunday that the eurozone is at its end, unless Germany agrees to underwrite the debts of struggling members.

He also suggested that if the single currency stabilized, Britain could still join the Euro.

This comes as the leaders of the European Union, prepare for a crunch summit this week that could bring about the fate of the eurozone.

#10  Blair has warned that the problem with Europe's single currency is now so serious that a "grand plan" was the only way forward to prevent a break-up.

By (French) design. The "grand plan" has been in the works since shortly after Blair was born, in 1953. I realize that just about every British leader has been inexcusably naive about continental perfidy, but Blair sounds like he just fell off the turnip truck. He thinks the Titanic can be stabilized, and then it would be safe to climb aboard? No wonder they wanted him to be the president of the EU. Credible, and credulous.

I can think of no more appropriate graphic.

#7  You can't go wrong betting that whatever happens the politically connected will get your money.

Until it REALLY all goes pop, which isn't too long.

#6  Apparantly Tony hasn't been reading the news lately or he's tone deaf beyond all belief.

#5  Btw Chancellor Merkel has just said that Eurobonds will not happen "as long as she lives".

Umm either find a new snappy name fat or take out a good life insurance BECAUSE they WILL happen.

#2  Any end of the EuroZone by extension also means or infers the end of post-Cold War "Globalism" + first attempt at OWG-NWO.

{BOB DYLAN, THE DOORS here].

Contrary to Blair, I'm not convinced its the end of EUZ.
