Fear pushes eurozone debt to record highs

The eurozone debt crisis has caused further turmoil in European debt markets. The gap between German and French debt widened to a record high since the euro was created in 1999. Italy's borrowing costs also surged. Investors are worried that a Greek default will spread financial contagion to other highly indebted nations.

Not looking very good is it!

Hardly surprising, he's a socialist leader. If there's no public money available to throw at a problem he'll be lost.

Re: Eurozone will collapse...
funny how greece is covering our news to hide our own problems, seems the news now days is either about foreign issues or the welfare system.

Re: Eurozone will collapse...
You must have a different news source to me.
The stories on the BBC news front page are
Greek leader "to offer to resign" (with a rolling update next to it)
Cricketers jailed for fixing scam
MPs criticise regeneration cuts
"Shocking delays" in child cases
St Paul's protest 'can stay until new year'
Tanks 'open fire' in Syrian city
English diet 'could save 4,000' 145
Man arrested in fake death probe
Arrests over racist Ameobi tweet
Gaddafi son Saif 'trying to flee'
Latest Bond film called Skyfall
The facts don't seem to back up your assertion.

Re: Eurozone will collapse...
Greek TV is now reporting that Papandreou has denied he is going to resign.

Re: Eurozone will collapse...
Perhaps he will put his resignation to a referendum?

Re: Eurozone will collapse...
Roffle ...
This is now not so much a Greek tragedy as a good old British Carry On.
I propose Kenneth Williams for the role of Papandreou, Hattie Jacques for Angela Merkel and naturally Sid James for Sarkozy.

Re: Eurozone will collapse...
Vote of confidence is about to take place but it seems redundant now. Seems people have given up on Greece and are fretting about Italy.

Papandreou has just won the vote of confidence! We might have just avoided a bullet here...

Really? A vacillating PM hardly seems something to be cheerful about.

Re: Eurozone will collapse...
If Greece was allowed in by this alledged wrongly then bank surely that bank should cough up.
Although euro should done forensic accounts they can only do it with what was given.
I hope this bank taken to cleaners for it.
