Ambrose Evans Pritchard: City of London Conspiracy Theorist

Sorry Deutschland. History has conspired against you, again. You must sign away €2 trillion, and debauch your central bank, and accept 5pc inflation, or be blamed for Götterdämmerung. It is not fair but that is what monetary union always meant. Didn't they tell you?

So says the City's Delphic Oracle. He should have added "What Maggie Thatcher and G.H.W.Bush, et al. didn't tell you that their Euro scheme would be your financial downfall that they had planned all along...Pity, that." But, of course that would be overkill, wouldn't it?
