Were going to see another world war soon.
Gordon the Leper signed Lisbon by stealth, after promising us a referendum, and now the Euroscum are trying to twist that already twisted treaty into a blank cheque to bail out their sad little empire.
The rest of my post has been pre-deleted out of consideration to the mods.
They’ve got it backwards. The euro is supposed to work for them, not vice versa.
I wish Britain had the “stones” to just walk out. They are a member of the EU but they as they ARE NOT part of the “Euro Zone”!
My thought is this plan has been in the works for a while and only hatched AFTER the British general elections. The “EUROS” feared presenting it earlier and were hoping for and planning on a “Labour” victory.
I doubt that it’ll go that far. Lets face it...the dollar is way undervalued right now...around .76 Euro to the dollar. Over the next three months...I see the Euro coming up to .90 Euro to the dollar...thus making the Euro cheaper to buy for Americans and more expensive for Europeans to buy American made products.
Thats probably the worst development for the next six months. On top of that....you can forget about the Greeks ever paying any of this loan back...and the current government in Greece falling by the end of the year. If I were a Greek millionaire...I’d move my money to the Pacific and just stay low for the next three years.
Those on pensions in Greece? They’d best start to calculate plan B. And those who got use to working thirty hours a week for full pay...their days are numbered.
UK should leave the EU and all the Anglosphere should form its own bloc.
GB needs to tell the euro to go screw itself... even if it means withdrawing from the EU.
These people are about to learn a serious lesson about economics and the consequences of your actions.
But I am sure they won’t learn anything, when governments fail they will blame it on capitalism and stuff.
Yup. This Greek government was too far in debt as it was and taking on $145 billion more debt is NOT going to help, especially at high interest rates.
The commies will be running Greece, for a little while, after the riots and revolutions. They will never be able it work of course.
actually... that would be scotland paying for europe... the english have already been drained
OOPS add Ireland!
Totally agree.
And remember, folks, when you hear everyone talking about the IMF bailing out Greece (or when you hear “IMF” at all in terms of bailouts), think “US TAXPAYER,” because the US taxpayer funds the lion share of IMF holdings.

Sounds like taxation without representation. The Brits need to look back in history to see how to deal with that.
