Eurozone Makes Firm Decision To Dither.

In a tough decision today the Eurozone has grasped the nettle of the Greek economic meltdown and decided to dither yet again. As markets tumble in the wake of news that Greece cannot reach its deficit reduction targets the Eurozone has decided to delay its decision over giving Greece the next installment of its bailout money. "We feel that continuing uncertainty is the only way forward," a Eurozone spokesperson told us. "We can't make up our minds whether its better to allow Greece to default on its loans or continue to prop up the Euro. Its a bit of a conumdrum I can tell you." As shares in banks continued to slide European leaders seem to be strangely relaxed about it all. We asked our economics editor as to why this might be. "Ah well, they know they can always use taxpayers money to bail out the banks if that's needed. One thing that world leaders know is that the elctorate hasn't got a clue as to what is going on and can be fobbed off with any old excuse. Everyone has taken heart at how the Tories in Britain have managed to get away with blue murder and hope that, if worst comes to worst, they can get away with it as well. Either way the banks will get their money back and taxpayers will continue to be bewildered so no one's much bothered."
