    Greece onto the brink Vol. 1 billion

    So, perhaps this really is it. I would go and withdraw some extra cash this morning in case of a systemic banking collapse, but I wouldn't want to be feeding a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      They should just do an Iceland. Lets get the bad news out of the way and move on.

      No doubt there will be some sort of political fudge that will kick the can down the road though.

          Agreed and they should have done it years ago. At the moment they are in a death spiral. Cut this, cut that oops your tax revenue is now lower please repeat the cuts.

            Don't worry, it will all blow over in a few weeks and we'll wonder what all the fuss was about.

              So basically everyone is asking the Greeks to contract their economy even more in order to receive more money that they can't pay back because their economy is contracting?

              Genius!
              Hard Brexit now!
