    They should have left the Euro, and the EU, and written off their debts.

    Poor sods.

      So do Italy, Spain, and France. It would be interesting to see their "who's owed what" bill.

        They'll never pay it off - there's more chance of Sadiq Khan holding a Jewish gay pride festival in Tower Hamlets, with Ken Livingston as guest speaker.

        I like the last scheduled payment of €74,600,000 on August 20, 2045 !

        More bailouts then politically motivated write off is probably on the cards.

          Talk as much as you want but noone asked them to take that much debt. They have near 0 rate too.

            Isn't majority of the money owed to Germany and possibly France. Hence, German reluctance to let Greece go - but not sure how long can they keep propping them up. They will have to write off significant amount of debt, but even then not sure if Greece can stay out of trouble.

              Yeah, then they'd have lots of money.

                    Germany still do well from the EU apparently:
