    It's certainly conceivable that we could face similar scenes in the UK before too long.
    This is very true. When all the lies and deceit and debt hits home in the UK what is happening in Greece now will be picnic in comparison.

    Yes, there was a long cue in the post office the other day and someone gave out a tut as they came in.

    was it a snooker cue?

    ATHENS--Three people were killed in a firebomb attack on a bank .

    Time to authorise the use of live ammunition.

    Once the cuts really start to bite, it will escalate alarmingly to at least two tuts, you mark my words......

    Which would be a terminally stupid thing for Germany to do.

    Option 1) The strong nations bail out the weak.

    What proportion of your income would you be prepared to lose over, say, the next 10 years to bail out Governments of other developed countries? Personally, I would be prepared to pay pretty much exactly 0%. I'll do a poll.

    We may even here a loud cough and a mutter, though I doubt things will escalate to that level of social unrest.
