60 / 40 to the no's after 10% of votes counted.

Well the lack of tax income isn't helping any. So much of the big profits get salted away offshore, so the no one wants to pay for where they live.

Taking the bungy jump since 1964. Never to see John Jackson in a shirt again

Sorry to see Lee Hills go, did we ever see Alex Marrow? We did January 2013

There aren't that many other ways to look at it. They seem to think that this will give them a stronger negotiating position within the EU, when it seems for all intents and purposes that the exact opposite is true. Many will see this as a huge 'up yours' to the people who have bankrolled them for years because they couldn't control their budget, and many (Germans in particular) are sick of it. They didn't belong in the Eurozone in the first place, and, whether they choose to believe it or not, this will accelerate their exit.

It was the Germans who along with the rest of the EU voted to let them in.....It was the EU who were incompetent in not realising that Greece's books were cooked.....Any idiot with any knowledge of Greece knows how badly run it is.
It was largely German firms who took advantage of Greece's underdevelopment to build massive construction projects there.....Greece has been treated like a second class state.....Another entity to service the strong economies of Europe.

Much of Greek's debt has been provided by the EU (whose leader is Germany (how ironic)) in the same way a crack dealer deals out crack.

Budget problems were dealt with by increasing their debt......This problem is just as much a fault of the EU as it is the politicians in Greece.

f*** the EU and half of what it stands for......It's helped ruin Greece.....It managed to take a bankrupt country and increase its problems many times over....draw it close to extremism and disaster than it ever has been.

Now Greece kicks the ball back into the EU's half.....Throw us out and risk Italy and Spain as well.....The markets aren't stupid....Those countries are heading in the same direction.....It won't be sensible to repeat the long and expensive journey with them also......Allowing Greece to fall could allow the whole pack to fall.

I'm going to be very interested in what happens next.

Hardly incompetent. The bankers knew exactly what they were doing.
That aside, I fully agree with the rest of your post.

Thanks for the compliment
