    He also says that McDonalds has greater credibility than the UK. And he's basing it on what he claims are the current CDS costs for all of these entities (debt). As to why, this would even lead to the downfall of the Euro, he didn't actually offer an explanation for that at all. So, I'm not sure I'd pay too much heed to what he is saying.

    Hilarious that those promoting Lisbon and scaremongering about how much damage voting no will do, have now in their haste single handedly put our relationship with the EU in more precarious a position than ever before.
