It's unrealistic that we are all paying off debts going back decades if not centuries, but we all are.

It's unrealistic that we are all paying off debts going back decades if not centuries, but we all are. I'd imagine the debt will be re-negotiated, seems best for all concerned.

Didn't happen when Argentina tried it recently either.

Didn't happen when Argentina tried it recently either. Different situation. Both sides have opened with sound-bytes for the media but compromise would look to be best for both sides. If the EU/lenders don't allow a renegotiation then Greece will default and be out of the Euro, the last thing Germany wants. And the Greeks don't want to be a country that no-one will ever lend to so they won't go through with a complete end to austerity as they were shouting during the election. Nothings certain but both sides have indicated they are open to talks.

[Link] An interesting development that i seemed to have missed is that the Greeks are saying they won't back the call for more EU sanctions against Russia. Not sure if they held this position pre-election or if this is a stance to use as a bargining chip with the EU...

Robert Peston doesn't speak for the EU, ECB, IMF nor any Eurozone leader. The last I heard. Whilst it might happen, there has been no indication to do so from anyone other than Greece.

It's unrealistic that we are all paying off debts going back decades if not centuries, but we all are. Bankers and football clubs seem to get away with not paying debts in full. Our beloved Palace have got away with it at least twice.
