Public schools seem to excell in churning out schoolboys full of their own importance with a overblown sense of their ability and a maturity level of about 15. Look at the disaster that is Osborne.
The German banking system is in crisis and in fact will soon need a bail out, but as Adolph Merkle put such a tough regime in place when Greece and Italy needed the same thing the E.U will have to apply or should apply the same rules for Germany which would mean the collapse of the Euro.So there really wont be any need to negotiate anything.
When he was in America he was being interviewed on Newsnight by satellite link. Most of the questions he was waving away very dismissively, no real answers, just like the overgrown schoolboy he is, as you said, whitewave. My grandson says he is like Mr Toad, because he's always pooh-poohing things.
