I read somewhere that the IMF have raked in £2.8 billion in interest from Greece.
That's really going to help!

Greece has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world let down by bad service, poor hygeine and an arrogance that they are better and more honorable than anyone else. Reep what you sow and there is no honor in not paying your debts.

EU - loss of sovereignty, unemployment, financial instability, loss of border controls, social unrest, taxes and bills for everything, bureaucracy, stupid human rights legislation protecting criminals, political correctness gone mad, rules, red tape......apart from that, what is there not to love ?

Its all well and good complaining about loss of sovereignty, but before they joined the EU and Euro, they were a two bob c**t of a country, ravaged by corruption and extremist politics (having had both a facist and communist government since the war).

Arguably the only time the Greek economy and country has ever really been stable was in the Euro and EU.

Still, a shot third world economy will likely result in a good tourist boost, if they can stop people setting fire to everything and blaming foriegners.

Should have let them fail five years ago.

Surprise, surprise, pumping debt into a bankrupt country doesn't work.

Greek women are stunningly beautiful goddesses until some point in their 30's when they go to bed gorgeous and wake up as a wrinkled, stooped and haggard old bag.

Ark at me getting all political!

A two bob of a country but still in a far better state than they are now.

The EU in concert with Greek politicians have destroyed Greece.

I think they mistook bankrupt for morally bankrupt. Pumping money into morally bankrupt countries pays massive dividends.

Should never have let them in the Euro. They fiddled the figures at the time to do so.

Their current government are morons though.

 


Optimistic as ever

Way, way, way too simplistic.

 


The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.
