Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

He wants to raise salaries, raise pensions etc. His background is being a communist. There is nothing wrong with his aims of helping the elderly, poor but these are aspirational items that rich countries aim for. Greece is broke and can barely survive. One in four people are unemployed. The head of the IMF has said that there is no wiggle room regarding loans. Where is he going to get the money for his plans?

Lower the price of just about everything, to help match wages v costs.

That means bye bye euro, and to hell with its overstated borrowings.

Not possible to do that. They still owe the money. If they don't pay then they would have no credit to do business internationally. It would be virtually impossible for a developed country to renege on debt. You couldn't reduce the price of things that you have imported otherwise you could not pay for them. There would be mass shortages of essential goods such as food almost immediately.

Any signs of an exit from the Euro would cause massive withdrawals from banks as the deposits would be converted into the new currency, which would almost certainly crash. That would cause a run on the banks causing many to collapse. Money would leave the country pretty fast. The new currency would almost certainly fall very fast. Prices would rise at quite a speed. People would have trouble buying anything.

There is very little alternative to the current austerity policy. The new government will have to continue current policies or get voted down and have new elections.

lets all hope Greece as the bottle to leave the stinking corrupt eu
and start the break up . and get the uk out of the rotten stinking eu .

A/M LEADER OF GERMANY IS A LIAR A TRAITOR TO HER PEOPLE

Not sure why, but every image I see of Farage reminds me of Archie Andrews the ventriloquist dummy and I wonder who is pulling his strings?

I hope he is safe with Camptain Marvel:

Syriza MP: We've won a poisoned chalice


Yanis Varoufakis, a Syriza MP who is tipped to become Greece’s next finance minister, is being interviewed on the BBC’s Today Programme now.

Congratulated on Syriza’s success, Varoufakis replies soberly that:


It’s a poisoned chalice, but I accept your congratulations.

He says Greece has been suffering since authorities decided to “pile the burden on the weakest shoulders”, forcing the country into a slump.

It takes an eight or nine year old to understand this, Varoufakis says, adding:



Fiscal waterboarding has turned us into a debt colony.

But what about the ‘glimmer of light’ recently, when Greece’s recession ended?


Varoufakis dismisses this idea. Prices and income are both falling, he say, which is “a typical case of a Great Depression -- and Europe decided to call it a glimmer of light”.

Syriza MP: We've won a poisoned chalice

really?
well they'll have filled a whole barrel with hemlock if they think they're going to deliver all this nonsense about raising the minimum wage, not charging the elderly for utilities etc etc
who do they think is going to foot the bill?

He says Greece has been suffering since authorities decided to “pile the burden on the weakest shoulders.”



What does that remind me of!!!!

they could start by fleecing the rich who have been the poison in the country
take 25% of their wealth of them. well done you greeks you have now got your balls back

can you believe that the con party have allowed that low life scum into the party
a rat and did employ illegal immigrants for cheap labour with is son

That's the con "big tent" tanks.

Millibum is probably knashing his teeth that he couldn't grab him.
