UKIP should get a huge bump from this.
It seems the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) need bailing out.
I wrote a paper on this in my MBA. It doesn’t look good for the UK in the EU.

"From each according to his ability to each according to his need." Remember, that economic recovery? They didn't build that.
For my Brit friends, yes, this is sarcasm.

Yeah.

Do better, pay more.
Suck out dollars, pay less.
