Not just for Greece,but are the ''moneymarkets'' lining up any country ?

It's the "moneymarkets" that the World's political guns should be turned on, not individual countries. Because the "moneynmarkets" c*nts caused all this in the first place and stand most to gain by betting on the sink or swim of individual countries. Many of these people should already be in jail.

Italy maybe. Last time I went to Italy, to Bologna, they had bus services to rival Brighton's. Buses every ten minutes to everywhere. Except the first time i went to put a Euro in the onboard ticket machine I was screamed at by my hostess 'What are you DOING?! :ohmy:. Turns out nobody local ever pays their bus fare. Bit like Greeks with their taxes really.

They did it to the UK in 1992. Spineless swine the lot of them.

That scenario is called a BREXIT rather than a GREXIT. It's when you wake up at her place the following morning before BREAKFAST, see the swamp donkey lain next to you and run out of the house before she wakes, PRAYING that none of your mates took any photos the previous evening and have stuck your CRIME up on Facebook.

For anyone blaming the "money markets", they are an integral part of capitalism. You might as well blame yourself for trying to get a slightly higher interest with your ISA.

It's not that simple though although they should take some of the blame and are only in it for themselves, Greece also did not help themselves. Basically going on a stag binge for the past20-25 years on someone else's money's and not having enough GDP to cover the repayments was always going to end in tears.

I know this is really really OT but, I am so very glad Facebook wasn't around when I was a teenager.

The crisis in greece really isnt the fault of the ''moneymarkets'' mate, no matter how much youd like it to be the fault of this faceless bogeyman(which is far more diverse than most of its detractors imagine, and i suspect you, who has worked at LIFFE and the old lady know that really), its the greek propensity to spend money they havent got thats at fault and their fudging of the entry criteria for the euro,without the ''moneymarkets'' the world would grind to a halt.

Greece is the Portsmouth FC of western nations; same behaviour patterns, same morality, same ability to spend other peoples money, same sense of outrage when the bailiffs come knocking.

Meanwhile, if we really want to fight off the euro-encircling speculators Britain should do what Richard Branson suggested over the weekend. But what does that pauper know about financial common sense and making money?

what suggestion would that be? the bit about being in the Euro, so we'd have been tied to the ECB and now in a uber Greece like scenario, or the bit about the strength of the £ which isnt particularly strong but the Euro is very week, due to the Greece situation?
