    I've been waiting for this for 2 years now.

    UK politicians won't care as it won't cause damage to the UK economy until after the May election.

    In reality Greece is a just a pretty insignificant bit player in the Eurozone.

    Useful for driving down the price of the Euro and thus helping German exporters but that is all.

    I don't believe our banks are bankrupt. Greece is yet Germany refuses to let Greece go bankrupt. Hardly surprisingly the Greeks are now going to tell Germany exactly where to go...
