      The MPs are under the same delusion as you seem to be. Sooner or later they'll realise we can vote them out of a job just as quickly as we voted them in.

        You'll soon know what it's like to be the village idiot's bastard offspring when you are bailing out half of southern Europe, and we're not. Be sure to let us know what it's like though, if Brexit is anything like as bad as you say it's going to be, we might need cheering up a bit...

          Wow the village idiot comment really wound you up. Must be some truth in it. I mean who votes to cut off trade agreements with a 100+ countries at a time when they are most needed? Idiot.

            Of course rich greeks were almost unaffected. It was the poor that suffered.

            As long as the Euro project rolls on, who cares eh?

              Why? Greek house prices crashed. The almost halved in value.

              How is this bad for the poor ?

                Quite fascinating in 2009 all the Eurosceptics were predicting Greece would collapse and it was impossible to recover whilst they stayed in the Euro. Unemployment has fallen significantly and the stock market is soaring.

                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      The lessons learned for the Greeks, just like Iceland... be careful who you vote for. Populists promising everything are the same the world over. Corrupt, power hungry, and will sell out their country for personal benefit.

                      You voted for Bojo, now wait for consequences.
