This is a British paper pumping up the British pound

Which will also pump up Greece's currency when they escape the EU. Nice stops for those Cunard cruise ships, good place to park some British military hardware in the Med.

If Greece exits the Euro the "New Drachma" will go south in a hurry, nobody will want to hold it absent structural reforms in Greece.

As for the Brits parking hardware in Greece they already have two sovereign bases in Cyprus, which they already probably can't afford with their defence cuts.
