The negotiations with the ECB were carried out b the Central Bank Governor and senior civil servants in the Dept. of Finance and the Cabinet was "bounced" into accepting a fait accomplit very late in the process.  Yes they did ultimate accept the deal but both the manner and the content of the decision was unconscionable and is a primary reason why we now have a general election in which the Governing parties will be shafted.

My diary is primarily aimed at ensuring the next Government doesn't act quite as stupidly.
