So what you are saying, is that the problems in Greece are down to the UK? I think you may want to rethink how you perceive your world. The UK has nothing to do with reforms concerning the EURO. That's up to France and Germany and the EU Central Bank. The biggest problem is this. The UK is now leaving and taking a pretty big economy with it. Those payments the UK makes is going too. The Germany Economy can't keep bailing out the poorer nations in the EU alone. The market is now eyeing up all the banks in the EU countries and are sharpening their knives to do shortages. I'm just waiting for 1 bank to need a bailout and then you'll see a long list. Who is going to foot this bill, France, Germany, Finland? What conditions are they going to impose. Is Italy or another country (Spain?) going to see Greece style sanctions? Once this happens, I think you'll start to see other exit musings in other countries and it'll be the beginning of the end!

"So what you are saying, is that the problems in Greece are down to the UK? " The problems in Greece where mostly introduced by abuse of the Greeks themselves. That is the small detail that mostly is left out. "The UK has nothing to do with reforms concerning the EURO. That's up to France and Germany and the EU Central Bank." The OP is talking about the measures the US has taking regarding the banks. We are taking about the reforms of the banks nothing regarding the currency. The thing the UK wanted an exemption for, the reason why a lot of measures couldn't be taken... . "Those payments the UK makes is going too." Yeah because that access to the single EU market will come for free... . "Once this happens, I think you'll start to see other exit musings in other countries and it'll be the beginning of the end!" What is that with that British obsession that some have with destroying Europe and bring instability to the continent?
