British Foreign
Office personnel have proposed emergency evacuation plans for their
citizens living throughout Europe, especially in Spain and Portugal.
As tensions over the survivability of the Euro mount, the government
warns that a collapse of the banking sector and the European monetary
unit may make it impossible for those with assets in affected countries,
including bank deposit accounts and homes, to access their funds
and evacuate to Britain.
The drastic
proposals emerged as a former Security Minister warned expats
could be left stranded and destitute by the break-up of the single
currency.Brits who
invested their savings in their adopted countries may not be able
to withdraw cash and could even lose their homes if banks call
in loans, worried ministers are warning.The Foreign
Office is preparing to bring them back from Spain and Portugal
if the two countries are forced out of the euro, triggering a
banking collapse.Â…
Commenting
on the evacuation plans, she added: “I think they are right
to be doing that. I think this is a real contingency that they
need to plan against – very, very worrying.”Officials
are braced for a nightmare scenario where thousands end up penniless
and sleeping at airports with no means of getting home. Planes,
ships and coaches could be sent, with some expats being brought
out through Gibraltar.The Foreign
Office could offer small loans while piling pressure on the banks
to give Brits access to their funds.Spanish
and Portuguese banks guarantee the first 100,000 euros deposited
by savers but many put limits on withdrawals in a crisis.Source:

Still think
a European collapse is implausible?
The British
would not be making these plans if they didnÂ’t expect the entire
system to devolve into chaos. WeÂ’re not just talking about
inaccessible bank accounts here, but political and social upheaval.
The kind that topples governments.
This is serious.
Entire nations are collapsing.
