Obvious objurgation...

LOL! Guido reports on how the 'rare Midas touch' of Crash Gordon mentioned on Tuesday lasted very little time indeed - no surprise. There will be no 'tranquillity': "Europe and Spain will continue down this autopista of economic tears until they are both willing to make the tough sacrifices that come with establishing a more coherent political and economic union." [Link]



Talking about tranquil Spain (NOT!) "When things go wrong, they really go wrong. Cuidado, Querida España", [Link] Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the Telegraph, hat-tip Raedwald; while your there Raedwald has had several interesting things to say about Spain recently.

Oversized, overspent orphan...

Yet another Euro summit...so many false peaks: it will not end until it is put out of its misery; what John Redwood says today is the plain and simple truth (as always): "The Euro is not worth a single pound of UK taxpayers money. The money tree is wilting and the reason is clear: Euro countries have overspent and borrowed far too much; there is no more money.

"The Euro remains an orphan currency in search of a country to look after it and support it. Creating a country called Euroland is taking too long for the good of its currency. The rich areas and countries are not willing to prop up all the poorer and weaker countries and institutions. There are now five countries needing special measures and special subsidised loans. It cannot go on like this".
