I agree, as a nation we sat on the sidelines and have a weaker position in the EU as a result. If we were a founding member, we would have more influence and control. But that is wrong too. New members to the EU have no where near the same rights as Germany or France. That is very undemocratic indeed. So that's my biggest beef, it is getting more undemocratic, and that is what I believe is changing peoples views. All members should have the same rights. Animal Farm.

Protests in Athens start to turn violent


Protests in Athens appear to be turning violent. Protesters are reported to have thrown petrol bombs at police at an anti-austerity protest close to parliament. Police have responded with tear gas.

But there are anti-austerity marches going on in the UK all the time at the moment where austerity is being forced on the population by a right wing government whereas in Greece its a left wing government. Therefore shouldn't all you Tory voters be supporting the left wing government of Tsipras as he's only performing the same as your beloved Osbourne, Cameron, Gove, IDS, et. al.? Or is it because that you are all hard bitten and blinded Eurosceptics that even if the EU suggest the same measures that the UK government are currently enacting in order to get an economy on the roll that you'll back the opposite?
