Doesn't look too bad. OK, comparing the UK to Greece is a bit unfair, but it does demonstrate the scale of the problem facing the EU from just one of its members. We'll certainly be fooked when the dominoes start toppling, especially if we find ourselves liable for some of the bailout contribution.

Looks like the UK will be pushed into a transitional deal, and a lot of wrangling about some future deal on which no-one can agree. Farage will blow his top, return to front line politics, split the Tory vote in the next election and bingo, a Labour government.

It will be spun to be a success by the few who end up better off from it - lawyers, bankers, etc. They will sell the idea to others who aren't better off, but will convince them it is true.

We don't have any coal mines now, so that shouldn't be a problem.
It will be a success. The UK works better under duress.

TO OUR GOOD AND LOYAL SUBJECTS:
After pondering deeply the general trends of the world and the actual conditions obtaining in Our Empire today, We have decided to effect a settlement of the present situation by resorting to an extraordinary measure.
We have ordered Our Government to communicate to the Governments of the United States, Great Britain, China and the Soviet Union that Our Empire accepts the provisions of their Joint Declaration.[6]
To strive for the common prosperity and happiness of all nations as well as the security and well-being of Our subjects is the solemn obligation which has been handed down by Our Imperial Ancestors and which lies close to Our heart.
Indeed, We declared war on America and Britain out of Our sincere desire to ensure Japan's self-preservation and the stabilization of East Asia, it being far from Our thought either to infringe upon the sovereignty of other nations or to embark upon territorial aggrandizement.
But now the war has lasted for nearly four years. Despite the best that has been done by everyone – the gallant fighting of the military and naval forces, the diligence and assiduity of Our servants of the State, and the devoted service of Our one hundred million people – the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage, while the general trends of the world have all turned against her interest.
