No clearly they are not but to reference something with something which is blatantly not true cannot go without comment.
And for the avoidance of doubt it is clear that those in the Eurozone with thicker wallets have an enormous self interest in keeping that project alive. In particular the Germans. They have a massive exposure to the Greek and lesser extent Italian, Spanish and Portuguese economies and if any of those would go 'pop' it would cost the Germans dearly in direct losses.
In addition it would cause the Euro to tank leading to an increase in inflation and inflation is a taboo in Germany as it brings back memories of the days of superinflation in the Pre-War Weimarer Republic.
Very happy to have a discussion about things which are p@rc in the EU and Europe but it helps if we make sure we are all talking about factual accurate matters where these are easily accessible.
