Europeans Support Greek Protesters

A nice article in the Guardian today about the Greek financial issues. It is getting boring saying the same thinig over and over again but until the politicians understand we have to keep saying these things.

This is the article from The Guradian

Some of the choice quotes from the article and from the comments readers have made

“What this and every government has to understand is that Greeks aren’t willing to pauper themselves to pay off debt for which they are not to blame. We are in revolt, people may be killed, but whatever it takes we are not going to let those measures pass.” – elderly protestor

Greece itself doesn’t need bailing out – it’s the private investors and banks who were attracted by high interest rates who will lose out if they default.

So, fingers crossed for a nice fat default. It’s the best thing the Greeks could do in the circumstances – that or be a slave to the IMF for a generation.

I think the Greeks WILL succeed and it will make for a very interesting summer, autumn….. Funny how we are going full circle and it is the very cradles of our civilisations (Greece, Egypt) that are leading the way and may once again be the start of a whole new order and civilisation.

There is absolutely nothing in it for the people of Greece. They have no reason to accept any of the plans that the IMF, EU, and so-called leadership of the country demand. The people are expected to pay and starve and suffer – and hand over every bit of value the country holds, leaving them with nothing on which to rebuild. The people didn’t cause this mess and the people should not pay for it.

The people of no other country would willingly agree to that, and neither should the Greeks.

Power to the people!

Can someone please explain to me why taxpayers all over Europe are being forced to prevent private Banks from making a loss?

They took the risk, they have to take the hit.

Surely?

Dont let them take your land greece!
You are a vibrant prosperous country.
Default – get new currency. Stop all food exports and issue rationing books
rebuild your industry and screw the west and its ridiculous banking practices.

If anyone thinks this is down to the common man in greece not paying taxes you are hugely mistaken. Default greece so we can see the euro tumble down like the ludicrous experiment it was.
