Sounds like Project Fear to me. Why not a brainless no-evidence-based belief in Great Greece and the Greek stiff upper lip, etc?

It never makes it right, but to single out one because of your political bias is a bit stupid.
You forgot to tell what happens to the country if the it leaves the EU without a deal. How will it affect trade etc?
You know.. that thing you voted for. I cant believe you dont know what you voted for, so be brave.
You seem a bit scared to answer when asked.

If you were able to comprehend anything to do with Brexit, you might be a bit worried too. I sometimes envy your level of ignorance, but I quite like being able to tie my own shoe laces.

I think you're is being being facetious (or dumb, but that would surprise me).
The facts are that the Debt vs GDP ratio is about 180%. It's unsustainable and will be interesting what happens when Greece needs to get funding from the market and not the ECB. Then, when the next downturn arrives (which it will - it's a basic fact of economics), they have no room to manoeuvre. Any form of recession will shrink their economy (even more than has happened already), thereby exacerbating the GDP ratio higher. Those are undeniable facts.
Now, let's address Project Fear. This is based on opinions and assumptions. Some people take a negative view, others less so. No one is (sensibly) saying there won't be short-term/medium-term impacts - there will. The Fear side like to portray a doomsday scenario but, in the eyes of many, they have no credibility.
Glad be have been of service to help your understanding

What on earth is short term or medium term impact exactly?
incidentally, there are people on NSC and around the country who do believe there will be no impact.
'life will go on' etc etc

Not so happy for the people of Greece though. EU and Greek politicians didn't feel any pain. Yet the real people of Greece lost their jobs, their homes, had to supply their own sheets in hospital because hospitals couldn't afford to clean sheets, people died because ambulances ran out of petrol.
France and Germany lent Greece money but only on the condition it was spent on defence and infrastructure projects delivered by the pair of them.
Meanwhile the EU turned a blind eye to Greece joining the Eurozone just to ensure it's project would grow.
Here's a telling quote from Professor Kevin Featherstone at LSE : "Greece has saved the euro."
And that's exactly the point - the people of Greece suffered, and in some cases died, to save the Euro and to ensure the EU project continues .... for now.
So it's a happy ending for the EU ..... not the people of Greece.

Lets agree that there is some level of assumption with regards to what might happen. Why do you assume it will all end well?

There was very little fresh produce in Sainsbury's in Hastings Saturday morning. It was very noticeable, I'd never seen that in a supermarket on a Saturday morning before. (I used to work in there well over 20 years back when I was at 6th form college - every delivery coming in for a Saturday morning used to be packed with produce.)
