Surferbeetle asks:
I wonder why all of the media the pressure is on the Germans? There are 27 members of the EU...
Yes there can be coverage of other EU members, it is rare true. I've heard on BBC radio mention of Finland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic. Plus the recent converts to the Euro, IIRC a Baltic republic.

It also shows how little we, in the UK and maybe the USA, understand the European economy, but we both are happier to look at Germany.

Back to UKIP's Farage his speech highlights the "bad boys" have to contribute to rescues by borrowing more money and lend it at less than they have to pay.
