There is of course no "Euro firewall", and about Germany´s obvious dominance in the Eurozone (as its de facto only payer), Nigel Farage has a brilliant commet in the Euro parliament here:

As if anybody would take Nigel serious...lol. Comparing Merkel to Hitler however is going too far.

Britain's plans to eradicate its budget deficit by 2015 is "utopian". The situation on the island is more dramatic than in parts of the continent. The UK is the most disruptive of the countries in the EU. A legacy of our empire mentality and grandeur posturing, backward and old-fashioned - 'island thinking'.

Unfortunately the British public has been so brainwashed with anti european propaganda since the seventies ,and if you negatively continually lay the blame for all ill's on the EU , this is the result !

Of course another huge problem is that the majority of Islanders cannot speak any other languages so the British public only consume what the English speaking media vomits at them !

Once you can speak a little German, French, Italian , Spanish ,Dutch and read their newspapers a completely different picture appears !

Germany is no 'supreme soviet' that has the absolute power to make their members to comply with their obligations and responsibility! They were just wasting their money like dumping to the Atlantic! Just wait and see hoe EU fall aparts!

Nigel is spot on, and he did not compare Angela to Hitler. He is addressing exactly what has happened to the Euro project.

" Once you can speak a little German, French, Italian , Spanish ,Dutch and read their newspapers a completely different picture appears ! "

Oh yes? I speak more than a little German, French, Italian , Spanish and Dutch. Can you tell me what picture is supposed to appear?

Japan was initially buying 20 percent of the debt issued by the EFSF, but the figure has recently decreased to about 10 percent. Japan also has a mounting public debt and faces major challenges as it rebuilds from the catastrophic March 11 tsunami.

Plus they just offered 2 billion away to other Asian countries.
