The Origin of the Euro Crisis Explained...

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

This is the simplest - and probably the most sensible - explanation, about the EU and the Euro, ever to see the light of day:

Baldrick: "What I want to know, sir, is before there was a Euro there were lots of different types of money that different people used. Now there's only one type of money that the foreign people use. Now what I want to know is, how did we get from one state of affairs to the other state of affairs".

Blackadder: "Baldrick. Do you mean, how did the Euro start?”

Baldrick: "Yes sir."

Blackadder: "Well, you see Baldrick, back in the 1980's there were many different countries all running their own finances and using different types of money. On one side you had the major economies of France, Belgium, Holland and Germany and on the other, the weaker nations of Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy and Portugal. They got together and decided that it would be much easier for everyone if they could all use the same money, have one Central Bank and belong to one large club where everyone would be happy. This meant that there could never be a situation whereby financial meltdown would lead to social unrest, wars and crises."

Baldrick: "But this is sort of a crisis, isn't it sir?”

Blackadder: "That's right Baldrick. You see, there was only one slight flaw with the plan."

Baldrick: "What was that then sir?"

Blackadder: "It was bollocks."

LOL.....that's very good.

The original of course would be irrelevant, as the EU has done so much to eliminate war on our continent.

Great post though. It highlights the challenge for many on the Brexit side....distinguishing the difference between facts and fiction.

It's about the Euro not the EU. You don't need the Euro to have the EU.

The EU is a good idea currently badly executed.

The euro is a stupid idea fulfilling its potential.
