No-one has warned that. If anything, the Euro is in danger of collapse,
as it depends on the functioning of the EU institutions. Any exit puts
those potentially in peril.

Also ironically Osborne only last year was suggesting that
perhaps it would be good if the pound did drop to aid exports.


It's not as simple, there are winners and losers. A drop of your local
currency is good for companies who sell abroad, but bad for conumsers.


Its about time a brake was put on consumer society. People by way too much
crap they don't need, most of which eventually ends up in landfill.
