Greek Financial Crisis

[daylightrobber]

GREAT day for the Little Englanders!

Here's some of the latest reaction including from beyond the grave:

Depends whether you see this as an anti EU vote, or an anti austerity vote surely.

Anyone wanna buy a country..no careful owners?

 

[edge]

any decent players we can buy from Greece should be cheap now

It's a MASSIVE boost for the Eurosceptic right whatever way you look at it.

 

[The Esk]

It's a MASSIVE boost for the Eurosceptic right whatever way you look at it.

It's a massive boost for those that want reform in Europe, it doesn't have to be a left/right issue.

It is. Even though it has little to do with what they want us to do really. It is extremely symbolic though.

That is a better way of putting it!

Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number —
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you —
Ye are many — they are few.

- Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Touch for that, Merkel et al.

All very touching mate, but if anyone thinks life for the normal Greek population is suddenly bathed in a socialist utopian sunrise, I feel they might be in for a shock.

It is great that the people of Greece have told the Eurocrats to basically do one, but their future is unpredictable, to say the least. I hope they come out of the other side fine, but their track record of governance in the last 50 years or so has hardly been a proud one.

We all want EU reform. I just never think they will.

That's enough for now. Then the banks need the taps turning back on from the ECB this week...which they will. Then the deal making begins...which it will.

There's no question this is a massive victory for ordinary people who've put their faith in a government pledged to ending austerity.

Exactly, the threats of the last week will give way to pragmatism, there's money involved.

Lets see mate. But cant see why the ECB will go to work tomorrow and spray a wad of cash in Greece's direction straight away.

But like you say, they will, and the madness will rinse and repeat.

German institutions are into this up to their necks. The threats now will all subside and they'll climb down and do deals.

The Greeks have stood tall and brought their aggressors to their knees.

It'll repeat if the Greeks dont now get on top of the corruption of the Greek oligarchs and their political backers.
