So now the new 'saviours' of greece havn't actually managed to fill any of their election promises and got EU to accept writing off their debt, i see they are going to go after Germany direct,

And also looking to cosy up to russia, who has no money as well so can;t see that working.

Why o why did the people vote them in when they had no chance of ever doing what they said?

Yes I know, I juts mean that given that our politicians never deliver on their election promises why should we be surprised by Greece's not doing so either.

Tidgy

rather different level of promise though init

I think this goes slightly beyond party politics, they clearly hope this lot will somehow shame Germany ( and thus EU) into letting go some more funds....

I wonder if anybodies paying any tax there now

It's not a question of if Greece will leave the Euro its a question of when.

To be fair to the Greeks if the ***** took €10.3 bil off them in the 1940's the ******* should be made to pay it back regardless, after all the **** they did and now they are a world power calling the shots, and are in a position to pay it back they should be made to do so, not get out on a technicality.

After all when we get down to the root of it it's the likes of UK that will be coughing up to fund the their bail out.

was settled financialy and politicly in 1990, Greece agreed it was sorted. Suddenly now it comes back again

Edmondo

instead of them all moaning how unfair they have been treated they all agreed to pay the amount of tax they owe then there would be nowhere near as much pain...............It reminds me of the child who swaggers around and then cries foul if someone hits them......bought on themselves - no sympathy

My guess is Germany won't give a F**k

Greece becoming a Russian dominion would put the wind up the EU for good!

Tidgy

doesnt sound like that will happen, russia isnt in a financial position to bail em out and also russia isnt that popular in greece anyway.

sounds more like just trade talks to me in reality
