Saintandy666 Posted 13 January, 2012 Share Posted 13 January, 2012 It's not that funny though. Whether you like Sarkozy or not, the UK has a lot of exposure to France and if their bond yields rise, and they can't afford to pay off their debt that screws us up as well. It's Italy I am more worried about though. I think France will be okay(unless Italy crashes, in which case we could all go down with it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy has been bankrupt for years, even before they joined the euro[sic]. Yet they were still allowed to join like Greece, Portugal ect!! The euro dream took presidency over financial sense, and now its a euro knightmare for these eurocrats folly!!!

pap Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 While it's fun to have a cross-channel chuckle at our croissant-chomping friends, the lower end of the credit spectrum is interesting too. Portugal were downgraded to junk. Guessing that's not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portugal were downgraded to junk. Guessing that's not good. Its more serious than that. Eventually its going to have an impact on the UK credit rating, since a lot of these countries are our major trading partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 16 January, 2012 Share Posted 16 January, 2012 Moody's have decided to allow France to keep the triple A A A, 3 days after Standard's downgrade. This is a welcome relief for France, for Sarkozy for now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16573452 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway Standard and Poors seems to have just one objective,obtain BCE guarantees for all Eurozone debt.

Gingeletiss Posted 19 January, 2012 Share Posted 19 January, 2012 Baldrick: "What I want to know sir, is before there was a Euro there were lots of different types of money that different people used. And now there's only one type of money that the foreign people use. And what I want to know is, how did we get from one state of affairs to the other state of affairs" Blackadder: "Baldrick. Do you mean, how did the Euro start?" Baldrick: "Yes sir" Blackadder: "Well, you see Baldrick, back in the 1980's there were many different countries all running their own finances and using different types of money. On one side you had the major economies of France , Belgium , Holland and Germany , and on the other, the weaker nations of Spain , Greece , Ireland , Italy and Portugal . They got together and decided that it would be much easier for everyone if they could all use the same money, have one Central Bank, and belong to one large club where everyone would be happy. This meant that there could never be a situation whereby financial meltdown would lead to social unrest, wars and crises". Baldrick: "But this is sort of a crisis, isn't it sir". Blackadder: "That's right Baldrick. You see, there was only one slight flaw with the plan". Baldrick: "What was that then sir?" Blackadder: "It was ********".
