    Greece sinks further into daprivity

    BBC News - The tourists held by Greek police as illegal migrants

    With 58% youth unemployment this is only the beginning.

    But at least the Euro is a success so all must be well.

    It's not really the Euro's fault tbf. They've just racked up far too much debt.

      It might not be all the Euro's fault. But they share alot of the blame. And the only solutions are for the Euro to split in some sense or Euro political unification.

      Neither solution is happening so things will get worse for Greece at HUGE human cost. One day in the future people are going to look back and wonder why nothing is changing. Its like looney tunes where the cayote has gone over the cliff running in mid air.

      And now nothing will happen in 2013 due to the German elections in September. The longer it goes on the worse the outcome will be.

          I don't really think exiting the Euro would change a lot.

          Sure they can print the Drachma like crazy, but that's only going to destroy any wealth that's left and make the cost of everything soar.

          Whatever they do, they're going down the toilet.

            But we are okay! We have a floating currency and can inflate our way out of it - like the USA is doing. Greece needs a floating currency.

            I feel a bit sorry for the Swiss and Japan by not seeing the obvious solution. Actually that was a lie - I don't really.....

              Interesting both the Korean & Indian said 'we understand why they have to stop people' The Americans comment was 'its cuz I iz black' .

              Disgusting behaviour, I suspect it also happens to a lesser extent here (Stuart Lawrence's complaint).
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                Methinks you have drifted into the wrong thread.

                  And what is the issue with that? Weimer republic did not do for Germany - it was the depression of early thirties that did that.

                  The Greeks still think the hard working Germans will bail them out. Which they might if sovereignty is given up.

                    Stuart Lawrence is making things up and relying on his brother's good name for publicity - and in the meantime dragging down a decent area of London.

                    He will be proved to be a liar.

                    Racism in London is almost non existant - there might me class warfare and attrictiveness warfare. Of course above Watford I am sure racism is rife - I have never been there and no experience - but since when has that stopped a good cuk argument?
