The International Monetary Fund is being lined up potentially to help Italy and Spain amid growing fears that a European rescue scheme will not be able to prop up the countries.
If nothing is done ~10 days until a eurozone collapse (http://www.businessinsider.com/wolfganc-munchau-the-eurozone-has-10-days-at-most-2011-11), this "rescue package" will just buy more time and further expose the UK.
