    I have to say - well done for the Greek people for standing their ground.

    So is Cameron right to renegotiate the UK's terms?

    He's free to try.

    But I doubt he'll get very far based on the evidence of the last 2 weeks.

    That's my perception. Why should one member state dictate it's own membership terms at the expense of the others. Interesting times.

    Nice to see action at last, even if nobody is really sure what's going on and what happens next!

    One thing is for sure. There's now a divided nation. Whether intentional or not. Doesn't bode well.

    Yep things will certainly get a bit more interesting in the near future, the can has just been replaced with a hand grenade and I don't imagine that anyone will be able to kick one of those for long :eek:

    Could tomorrow be a good day to buy the Euro? Its an ill wind and all that? Younger son is off to Portugal in a couple of weeks.....

    WR

    The euro is basically the Deutschmark spread around a lot of fiscally weaker countries, , so every country that leaves that isn't Germany should make the euro stronger.

    Why are we taking any notice of our opinion polls when they got the result of our own election so wrong?

    It's not just the opinion polls.

    One of the large bookies paid out five figure sums on YES bets they were so confident.

    I note the same business groups and financial companies that were telling us all "don't worry, our exposure is low" are starting to issue warnings about "throwing every tool in the box at the Eurozone to keep growth going".

    The truth about just how exposed they are will now start unraveling.

    As a footnote, I'm not looking forward to it. Just sick of the pack of lies these companies feed us.
