Euro saved. Greece impoverished.

That's about the sum of it, although this will come as no surprise to anyone who has spent any time at all reading and thinking about this subject.

Today Bruno Waterfield in the Telegraph has laid out in fine detail just how low the Eurocrats will stoop to protect their precious currency and with it the EU. In the same paper Ambrose Evans Pritchard embellishes the point.

There really seem to be no depths to which this disgusting cabal of criminals will not stoop to feather their own nests, and to avoid admitting that they have been wrong all along.

 Of course it is not just Greece that is suffering  the effects of the EU economic jackboot. Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy are all suffering in ways that are completely unnecessary. France too will have to pay a price in the end if this grand folly is persisted with for long enough.

I hope I am wrong about this, but I think that the time for a peaceful resolution to this grotesque, man made tragedy is already behind us. The only question now seems to be just how much blood will have to be shed, and whose, before countries are allowed to find a way to sort their own future out, however painful that might be.

But as much as the EU and it's Euro fanatical protaganists are to blame for much of this, it is surely time for the countries themselves to realise that life outside this club is not only possible but preferable. The EU is not the cosy, protected land of endless handouts and  mutual back scratching they thought they were entering all those years ago. It never was, it is an iron fist in a velvet glove.

Better off out guys, better off out. As Gorbachev put it when he was asked about the EU, " Why re-invent the Soviet Union?".
