Are you running the show in Eurozone crisis, Mr President? John Bufton MEP asks Barroso

[bringbackmydemocracy]

It's all irrelevant, the eu is no help whatsoever to any country, it is an expensive unelected parliament dreamt up on socialist, communist and marxist ideals, it will soon collapse under its own corruption and excess's, but why do our politicians want us to be there when it does ???

[Krifko]

Greece has treated the Euro as an insurance policy. They have created a monstrous entitlement state which was unsustainable. The logical consequence of socialism of course, which is a very pleasant exercise in giving away other people's money. Now we have learned that 25% of the Greece don't pay taxes, and they have the audacity to asks the people of Northern European countries, who pay their taxes, to bail them out?! You couldn't have made it up. Greece, get back to your own currency!!

Couldn't Germany just annex Greece?

looks like 25%Vat for all of us!!!!!

Just started watching the latest Keiser Report on RT and theyve started talking about currencies being attacked by hedge funds.

watch?v=yx8Wpuu8-Dw

[NicosMind]

Anyone thats been following Max Keiser would know that Greece never meet the requirements to start off with. They were in shit loads of debt and had the help of Goldman Sachs to hide that debt. GS then set up derivitives on Greece debt which only make money on a crashing market.

George Soros etc has also got mixed up in this and now theyre off attacking the UK economy..

Its such a scam

[Propheticmafia777]

SCREW BARROSO!!! Greece needs to step out of the EU and take their own currency back!

[Pwecko]

Well, that was a very good non-answer from Barroso. What a slimy bastard.

[stuanemma]

OUTRAGEOUS How Dare Barroso blame the greeks for this?..

Greece needs to devalue its currency and rebuild its economy, but as they are euro members they can't.

Unfortunately although I love the German people, their politicians are bordering on a return to the 1930's... Instead of helping the greek people (WHO ARE RIOTING incase you did not know...) These politicians are calling for greece to sell parts of its country off... and artifacts such as the pantheon...

This is shocking!

omg... I never knew that - the world truly is going to the dogs... :(

[stuanemma]

@TheNationalMilitary It is very true, return the favour please and tell at least one other what is going on...

[stuanemma]

Hahahah who told this lot that they were being watched by thousands.... ANSWER THE QUESTION BARROSO, also why are you talking like a girl all of a sudden?....

[ArchDufferJones]

Barroso is such a toad.
