Quote from The Sun:


Brussels was yesterday blamed for Italy’s political crisis which threatened to bring down the Eurozone.

Shares and bond markets plunged after Italian President Sergio Mattarella vetoed the appointment of a Eurosceptic finance minister in a new anti-establishment coalition.

The coalition partners, populist 5-Star and far-right Lega Nord, claimed Eurocrats were behind the move and pointed the finger at Brussels.

It came as a gauge measuring the likelihood of the debt-ridden nation leaving the Euro jumped to 11.3 per cent from 3.6 per cent in April.

Amid the turmoil, the Euro crashed to a six and a half month low against the Dollar. And European commissioner Guenther Oettinger intensified anger by saying the crisis would teach Italians not to vote for populist parties next time.

5-Star called for him to resign and said it was a glaring example of the “obvious manipulations that Italian democracy has suffered”.

I am seriously concerned about more bail-outs becoming necessary in the near future. Just as well we are leaving this dreadful club, in my opinion. Why some people want to remain wedded to this calamitous organisation is really beyond me.

The financial ruin lies in continuing membership of it, not Brexiting as many remainers believe.

Add 'as an option' to that and hopefully the Italians won't read it as literally as some of our more narrow minded voters did :D:D:D:rolleyes:

Lol, last year (just before the previous government looked about ready to collapse), all their public transport employees went on strike:

So I am sure that there is a massive bus somewhere laying dormant that someone could plaster it on the side of....
