Gordon Brown, britsh pound can pay the debts?
Amazing approach of intrigous Gordon Brown to use Sarkozy to "rob" the ECB (Eurobank), refusing to be member of the Euro zone, but soon knocking on the doors of Europe, when the pound is to small to survive attacks. Brown was keen enough to ask for $30bn from the European investment bank to credit SME's, small companies. Why is he not going to ask the money from the offshore hedge funds hiding Cayman islands, canal islands. Enough is enough.

No sign of financing an innovative middle class economy, just fixing private insider interests. Politicians under lobby pressure, not acting for citizens interest, the new dogma.

Merkel said she did not want German taxpayers contributing to a common fund
Europe's four biggest economies have agreed to work together to address the current global financial turmoil but say they will not form a joint bailout fund. The leaders of Germany, Britain, Italy and France, which currently holds the EU's rotating presidency, made the announcement at the end of an emergency mini-summit in Paris on Saturday. France had floated the idea of a 300-billion-euro European fund to rescue troubled banks but German Chancellor Angela Merkel said EU states must take responsibility at a national level for the banking crisis. Merkel said she did not want German taxpayers contributing to a common fund. The summit came ahead of a meeting of the Group of Eight finance ministers in Washington next week.
