exchange rate will go to Euro1.42, then I'm off to the post office. The Euro bankers will then [Poor language removed] themselves and give into the Greek demands.

From Guardian's live coverage
When the full tale of the eurozone crisis is finally written, the last hour deserves a special mention.
Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, has made a remarkable intervention into the Greek crisis in what looks like desperate, last-gasp bid to prevent the country ploughing out of the eurozone.
He has effectively told the Greek people that they are choosing between the euro and the exit door on Sunday, that their government has lied to them, and that he has been their friend and ally at the negotiating table.
Underneath it all, the desperate fear that the European project is swerving off course and about to lose its first member.
Juncker confirmed the claim that Greece’s creditors were prepared to discuss debt relief as part of a future aid deal, before Alexis Tsipras shattered hopes of a breakthrough last weekend.
A clearly wounded Juncker spoke of feeling “deeply distressed and saddened by the spectacle that Europe gave last Saturday”.
In a single night, the European conscience has taken a heavy blow. Goodwill has somewhat evaporated.
Crucially, Juncker is not offering a new compromise. Instead, he is arguing that the Commission was making a fair proposal – not “stupid austerity” – for the Greek people.
But his comments on the referendum are jaw-dropping: telling Greeks to vote Yes in Sunday’s referendum is one thing, but warning “not to commit suicide for fear of death” is another level altogether.
And he has raised the stakes in Sunday’s referendum to the highest level possible, by warning that “the whole planet” will see a no vote as a declaration that Greece wants to leave Europe.

could do - but I'm forecasting some kopite behaviour from Merkel and the ECB. I think they will back down. The Greeks would make ace poker players - they haven't blinked once yet.

I think Paul, Juncker is a twerp. Statements like that are tantamount to blackmail and to discredit the legally elected government. Greece may leave the Eurozone but why should they have to leave the EU?

Russia announced a couple of weeks back that it prepared to help Greece in the event of a default and exit from the Euro, by continuing to invest in its ongoing infrastructure projects.

Which means Greece will end up owing Russia money.

Exactly. They will only leave a currency union. It's this over the top bullying from the EU that will see its demise......
Vlad like this!

Welcome back Wayne
Words from the French suggest that they really want to do a deal with the Greeks. Germany and France are desperate to resolve this issue as they know it'll be like a house of cards..........
I concur......... if we go the Spanish,Italians and possibly Irish will follow.
