    @David O’Donnell

    What will you tell your grandchildren you did during the Euro? :-)

  4. David O'Donnell Says:

    Kept a few in the pocket, maintained the principle of solidarity, and defaulted on evey phynning of odious financial system debt available. Banished all PR Guys, Spinners, Bank Directors, P1ss poor Governance Insiders, PeeDees, and sundry gougers to Spike Island on mouldy bread and watery stirrabout for a decade, and elected Blind Biddy as Taoiseach of an Emergency Government to return the republic to the citizenry. No problem!

    @ All

    To situate the ECB discussions in their proper context, this article by Philip Stephens makes a quite outstanding contribution.

    Hollande is, indeed, standing in the shadow of de Gaulle. The euro, for the management of which the ECB is responsible, is the sword of Damocles which will either make or break Europe.

    oops … would, of course, have relocated the European Central Bank to Thomond Park in Limerick, picked up that $30 billion letter of comfort from Herr Geithner, and restored European Social Democracy to its rightful place in the European Project with the Euro as the World’s most reliable currency, appointed Mr Sarkozy as Ambassador to the Sahel for life, and elevated Angela Merkel as quarter-master general of the ICA* on the recommendation of The Neu Taoiseach.
