Talking turkey to save the euro from oblivion

AS Europe stands on the brink of disaster as a result of politicians being unable to come up with a solution that might avert calamity, might I offer an answer that is:

* Guaranteed to pass handsomely.

* Will save the euro.

* Assuage the markets.

All politicians should take a two-thirds reduction in salary and no expenses. Like all the best plans, my one comes with an equally acceptable and sure-fire alternative. All politicians are immediately paid the same rate as the average industrial wage in their respective countries with all expenses to be personally vouched by me. No? What a remarkable coincidence — that’s exactly my response to any expenses request.

I even have a name for this act to save them the bother and in the spirit of the season we are in — The Christmas Turkeys Protocol. It could all be easily done and dusted by the New Year.

Of course, they can continue on their merry way by burying their heads in the sand and simultaneously kissing the euro and their backsides goodbye.
