Prepare for riots in euro collapse, Foreign Office warns
British embassies in the eurozone have been told to draw up plans to help British expats through the collapse of the single currency, amid new fears for Italy and Spain.
A senior minister has now revealed the extent of the Government’s concern, saying that Britain is now planning on the basis that a euro collapse is now just a matter of time.
“It’s in our interests that they keep playing for time because that gives us more time to prepare,” the minister told the Daily Telegraph.
Recent Foreign and Commonwealth Office instructions to embassies and consulates request contingency planning for extreme scenarios including rioting and social unrest.

Re: Prepare for riots in euro collapse, Foreign Office warns
“Eurogeddon is coming! To save the world, we must save the euro, and that means submitting to the bankers! There is no alternative to the euro currency! Submit, or be DOOMED!”
Rubbish.
The collapse of the euro currency would be the BEST POSSIBLE THING for the European masses. But it won’t happen, since the bankers will not give up their power.
Any currency can be easily replaced. Only three percent of the money supply exists as coins and paper. The other ninety-seven percent exists in computers.
Nor is there some natural and universal reason why there is a shortage of money. In America the U.S. Constitution says Congress shall have the power to coin money, but the Constitution does not set any limit. Thus, Congress could issue a $10 trillion dollar coin, and start writing checks based on it.
Meanwhile the 17 nations that use the euro do not have the power to print their own currency. Only bankers have that power. That’s why those 17 nations are in debt to the bankers.
