The euro Greece and goodbye,

[Leekbrookgull]

Whilst various european politicans have had several years to arrange a satisfactory arrangement to solve the Greek euro crisis it finally looks like events are going to overwhelm them (whats new there) as the Greek public start to withdraw their cash from banks,any 'run' on the banks is surely enough to finish Greece off ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-33195732

6 oclock news said Russia are not going to help them out with money

predict the Germans will bail them out at the last minute with a loan to tide them over. untill a few months time and the next payment is due.

trouble is Greeks are shafted either way. they are proper brassic, trying to borrow money to pay off loans. meanwhile they pissed everyone off including their would be allies.

While the previous Greek Governments are partly to blame for the mess the country is in, it's the people who are really suffering. The health care system has all but collapsed.

I hope for their sake a Grexit happens - it will allow them to start again and teach the Germans and French for bending the Euro rules for political reasons. It might also bring the Euro to it's knees and prove once and for all that 'one size doesn't fit all'.

Groat's what?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

IF Greece were to default, and I still don't think it will happen, it would take several months for a new currency to come into affect.

Look it up

And who voted for those governments? Who thought it was ok to do no work and retire at 50, but to get paid all your life? And now the shit's hit the fan, it's just the governments' fault? If we get a political party that promises to spend, and to hell with the consequences, and we vote for them, then we've no one to blame but ourselves.

Maybe people are just about to find out the answer to frequently asked questions like why don't Governments just spend what they like and ignore having to pay off their debts & also wondering what the repercussions would be if they did.

Worked ok for SNP this year. Anti-austerity= more debt, didn't stop 50% of Scots voting for that. No-one like the home-truth sometimes, vote for the "easy option" trouble is, the long term pain is always worse
