Default Eurozone deal reached without UK

It looks like the UK are about to become isolated in Europe...time to leave perhaps?

Look at the picture...I'd say Cameron is contemplating head butting Sarkozy



Quote:
PM David Cameron has effectively vetoed an EU-wide treaty change to tackle the eurozone crisis, saying it was not in the UK's interests.
Instead a new "accord" setting out tougher budget rules will be drawn up for the eurozone, which all EU states, except the UK, look set to join.
France's Nicolas Sarkozy said the UK PM had made "unacceptable" demands.

Europe is fast degrading into a rout of individual interests and not a unity. Cameron I believe is acting on GB interests. Good on him for Dunkirking the hell out of there first.

His dilemma was....he'd be damned at home if he gave away anymore sovereign powers and damned by his european peer group if he used the veto.

All things considered I believe he made the correct decision.

I notice that the agreement such as it is, had little to say about the staggering mountains of debt and the prospect of zero growth in most of Europe.

Still, it may be enough to goose the markets a bit.

Pardon?

There is no deal as long as one EU member states no then there is no deal. True to say the 23 that have agreed but that's it, agreement only but not official.

Hungary said no and the others are pondering and asking questions.

Cameron has stood up but dose he now have the guts to stand his ground as that Fascist EU will now get the big stick out and smash the UK over the head or try to buy Cameron.

Good job Britain, European union was a disaster for the common people.

If you don't think someone(s) got rich from this worldwide finanacial crisis then you are daft, ignorant, or living under a rock.

Let the whole thing fall, the whole house of cards.

Then we can start over, with proper laws in place to protect people from financial wizards (predators).
Sure it will hurt, but alot of folks are already hurt by this, time for everyone to share in the burden, not just the super poor, and the lower middle class. Who has bore the brunt of this for the last 5 years.

Capitalism is broken, not the system, but the people who are meant to protect us from the extremes of it.
