EU leaders have been meeting in Brussels to discuss a multi-billion-euro rescue package for Greece, amid fears that the country's crisis could spread to the rest of the Eurozone.

However, an increasing number of Europeans believe the currency has already failed.

During the summit, the leaders of the UK Independence Party, led by Nigel Farage, carried a coffin symbolizing the euro around the European Parliament.

Farage, along with party member Jamie Illingworth, say the bailout is a huge mistake.

"The leaders are unanimously wrong again. They've been wrong about the Greece from the very start. She should never have been allowed to join the Euro. At the first place, she wasn't suited to it. They were wrong to bail her out first time, they are wrong trying to bail her out the second time, and if the Greek parliament on Tuesday accepts this package, then this time next year I'll be talking to you, and there will be the third bailout", said Nigel Farage.

  • A referendum for Greece? No way! Even now Europe denies democracy. Just who does the European political Class think it is? They march forever onward ignoring the will of the European people who had enough of this club that provides jobs for the boys, huge expenses and careers. Is there any wonder they want to keep it?

    Britain OUT OUT OUT. Give us OUR referendum NOW!!!!

  • wonderful and spectacular. I hope the European union collapse is even more spectacular than societ union collapse.

  • @marmaline2001 Thought you wouldn't. Greece had a surprising 0.8% increase in Q1 2011. None of your bullshit is researched, so it's no wonder you are scuttling off now.

  • @marmaline2001 Check the GDP growth stats for the relevant countries if you don't believe me. Wikipedia it to get comparisons. Run along now.

  • @marmaline2001 Haha really? Our growth rate is 0.3% - even Greece is doing better than us. Last quarter, France grew at twice our rate and Germany grew at three times our rate.

    Get your facts right, and stop your Kool-Aid rhetorical bullshit.

  • @marmaline2001 Oh dear, maybe you should look at the state of the British economy, which is seeing a comparatively lower rate of growth than mainland Europe. Stay in school.

  • What a bunch of wankers holding that coffin. No wonder Europe hates Britain.

  • RIP coin! ;-)
