Why Fine Gael's "chicken little" act doesn't add up.

Brian Hayes, junior minister for propoganda
Does this sound familiar "If we don't do this, we'll be out of the EU,
and we'll be back to the days when we had nothing
"?  

Nice? Lisbon? Yes, they trotted it out then, and before, and they are reheating this "chicken-little" scare tactic once more.

The latest is junior minister Brian Hayes telling us that we must
"clear the debts or go back under Britain's skirts."
Apart from the foolishness of playing the 'Britain card' so soon after
the visit of Lizzy Windsor, the threat was rubbish.
The Minister managed of course to present the only options as paying off all the debts, including those of the zombie banks, or leaving the euro, losing our sovereignty (as if it was being bravely defended now).
This is utter crap, which is nothing new from politicians, but it is also dangerous.
This country should not pay for bankers debts, and also CANNOT pay for them, not unless it is forever strung out, by 'deals' that piece by piece privatise everything possible, while reducing living standards to something similar to Poland or Turkey.
