    If the Greeks were to default then they would be able to raise no new capital for a long while and then only at very high interest rates.

    When Argentina defaulted there was no foreign investment at all for several years. Contrast that with Greece which is now growing. Argentina's debt wasn't forgiven, they just simply stopped paying the interest and then had to go through a long negotiation process to come to agreement with all their creditors, because when you default nobody will give you anything.

    Greece can't simply default, and quite evidently the EU's support has been successful as Greece is no longer in recession.

    Greece currently not in recession



    Eurosceptics need to admit they got it wrong on Greece. The figures speak for themselves.
    There you go a classic case of reading the news and not understanding anything.

      Reading your rant again, what comes across is how very, very, very stupid you are.
      Sasy, sasy what a strange little man you are. I would miss you though if you ever decided to go back to mumsnet.

        Don't put your scarves back in the attic just yet

        We don't stop talking about football after the very first game. We all know all sorts of things can happen from the start to the end of the season.

        A few people thought the referendum was like the Charity Shield - one game and that's it; all or nothing.

        It wasn't. It was just the start. The Exiteers won the first match, but only by a very fine margin. However the Brexitship will run over at least two years. It's far too early to pick who will be champions.

        The supporters of each side will be shouting for a long time yet.

          The divorce was always going to be messy. That was the only argument for remain.

          Hopefully all Brexit threads will be moved into a sub forum. Brexit has come to dominate general in a very unhealthy way.
