    They promised to stand up to Germany to get elected. Then changed policy.

    Having said that, the only way for Greece to end austerity is to leave the Euro. Amazing the citizens cannot see that.
    Who would they then sponge off if they did that though?

    A Greek, an Italian, a Spaniard and a German went into a bar, the German paid.

    True. That's the period when I first realised what Alan Walters had been talking about.

    1992 should have been enlightening for everyone promoting a single currency.

    But it wasn't, the mutton-heads won the day, and now we have that crock of sh1te skewing economies and decision-making across Europe.

    True, not that surprising.

    The Euro project is a classic case of the cost of failure being unacceptably high. After all the moaning is done a deal will be arrived at.

    Which will not please the German people.

    But the DT is depicting it as a Greek capitulation. They have also agreed to existing budget targets:

    Greece bailout extension agreed after eurozone talks
    BBC News - Greece bailout extension agreed after eurozone talks
    Surprise, surprise.. Probably all agreed weeks ago anyway. Just a little bit of theatre to please the Greeks and knock down the value of the Euro. Good for exports, ja danke.
