EU demands answer on EU bill within 5 days

[woohoo]

Germany offered them billions but with some conditions attached. Greece now can live within its means, which is more than you can say for the UK

In the UK Eurosceptic politicians hid under the table nervously holding their wallets, when in fact they could have intervened and made an alternative offer, had they really wanted to.

Do you know any leave voters who would have been prepared to handover some of their tax to Greece ?

Greece isnt living within it's means, it's economy is contracting and it's receiving bailouts.

The last two points are just nonsense, on the gin a bit early today BB?

Well I think the 2% growth forecast has already been downgraded.

Anyone here hold gilts? I don't, not since last year.
But with the powerhouse British economy making so much and exporting to all the corners of the world and running major surpluses everywhere I would expect Brexiters to be heavily loaded with British government debt.
Go on you know you want to.

They seem as popular now as Greek bonds were back in the day.

Greece slides back into recession at start of 2017

not in a recession though

It's really quite simple, Greece has had major problems for years. Banks ignored the underlying issues and lent money to them. Greece enjoyed borrowing money at rates applicable to Germany.

Greece is found out - well what everyone knew anyway. They couldnt pay back the money they owed.

Germany and French banks owed billions.

Greece bailed out - most of the money goes to the banks.

Germany forces through austerity plans and basically runs the country.

You just talk complete and utter bollocks all the time.

Here is a breakdown of who owns Greek debt.
As you will see the vast majority is EU bailout funds - these are funds that were given to Greece AFTER they went bankrupt.
German, UK and US BANKS own about the same proportion (in Green on the graph).
Contrary to what some Leavers claimed the UK hasn't been asked to contribute a penny to Greece

So far from the Germans oppressing Greece, the German taxpayer has stumped up billions to keep it afloat

Interesting how so much "Leave" anger is focused on Greece's economic problems, when it is self-evident that the British economy is about to be trashed.

Greece borrowed from France and Germany.
The UK didn't
The UK has borrowed from China, Qatar, Russia,...

Saboteur! traitor! It is self evident that Britain's economy is a powerhouse with no twin deficits, no sirree, and a large and powerful manufacturing industry.
It's not driven by consumer debt and spending, not at all. In fact credit card debt is non-existent and people are so wealthy they buy cars for cash, none of that PCP malarkey. Savings are at record highs as is productivity! Onwards, to glory and the land of unicorns, my Stakanhovite friends.!

Let us all stand for the national anthem!!!

What like the Daily Mail, Daily Express, Daily Telegraph, The Sun, Breitbart, et. al. which just spout anti-EU propoganda? You'll find though that quite a few of the media outlets that are pro-EU actually quite often have Eurosceptics writing columns for them to give a balanced view whereas the anti-EU just show pictures of z-list celebrities on the beach in their swimming costumes

If the EU was that good why would anyone post anti EU propaganda?

Maybe you need to check who you are not allowed to criticize - as you will find they are the ones ruling over you......
