A Drama Out Of A Crisis?

The news can be pretty damned tedious these days, with the micro-analysis of every twist and turn in the economic woes of the world, and in particular Europe. Today, a dash of pee in the already sour yoghurt, as the UK become the European "supreme bastard" for messing up their treaty changes - but it really does seem as though someone (*cough* Merkozy *cough*) was spoiling for a fight with Britain, and got exactly what they wanted, even though they could have got their face-saving Euro-package through without it. Right now, David Cameron must know what it's like to be targeted by The Westboro Baptist Church (the "GOD HATES (insert anything here)" bunch).

In an ideal world - please take note: IDEAL - a single world-wide currency wouldn't just be desirable, it would be essential. We are not living in that world - just look at Syria. Egypt, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan (the list goes on and on), and see the current economic state of things. This is the acid test the Euro has so far avoided, but its time of testing has come, and the single currency has been found wanting. Kicking Britain out of the EU won't change that.

If this new treaty/agreement/whatever the hell it is doesn't affect Britain, only the "Euro-Zone" countries (according to one German MEP), then why does Britain have to sign up for it...?

And all of a sudden, the Euro-crisis gets interesting. Who will be proved right in the end? Will any of this matter? Stay tuned, True Believers!

And finally... How's this for wind-power...?
