Anyone care to translate poorside1's post above, using contextual English and grammar. It would be better to send him back to school, where he can get a decent education.

Portside - I certainly don't lend people money and when they don't repay me, lend them some more especially when they've used the money to go on a spending spree.

the idea of the eu was to be one county all for one and one for all
has long as Germany was the general and others had no say

[portside1] 07/7/2015 08:01

ken yes I know but you can only get back money by allowing the country to recover not sink them .the eu is corrupt and the sonner we get the vote the better my family and hundreds of good friends will vote out .
Poland get more hand outs from the eu than ay other country so why are they allowed to just take ad give nothing

Portside - I think you have things the wrong way round, it's Greece that's bankrupting Europe!

The loans did not happened yesterday but accumulated over the years.
Remember Greece had to build the Olympics in 2004.
The money was borrowed very dearly and most likely with a high interest of probably 10-12% which the mail lender was...Grermany.



Other costly projects involved infrastucture build on debt
see
Rion-Antirion Cable-Stayed Bridge, Greece
hxxp://www.roadtraffic-technology.com/projects/rion-antirion/
Many foreign companies involved French,Italian etc.


Also they spent money on Defense as Turkey is always ready to attack and occupy
most of the islands and claim Sea Rights and ethnically cleanse the population
like Cyprus.
Some of the politicians were corrupt and have conned the defrauded the defense budget.
The one main guilty party that is responsible for Greece problems is Goldman Sachs who cooked the books and allowed Greece to enter the euro.
Goldman Sachs made billions out of Greece's entry to the euro.

Now Greece will be in debt forever, never be able to repay that until the end of the world.

UK must never join the euro otherwise Germany will enslave us like it did to the Greeks and probably do to Spain,Portogul,Italy.

The Euro was always a non starter! What normal "printer of currency" would lend another state amounts well beyond their means to repay when the lender has no way of controlling any aspect of monetary policy? Let alone any other aspect of Government! It's pretty much the same as being lent 3 x the value of your house! Nice when you get the cash, but ability to repay is zip! A sensible bank would never lend the money! Why did Greece get loans its lenders knew could never be repaid?

UK National Debt Surpassed £1 Trillion

Send our ADVFN house resident porty to Greece to sort out the mess!!....

I reckon Varoufakis who resigned as Finance Misnister of Greece, has stashed a load of eoros in a mumber of suit cases- and will disappear off the face of the earth.Tsipras himself has conned his people-they have supposedly voted with dignity of democracy but-and the Greeks will be the losers.This leaves Tsipras with less negotiational powers.He must come up with a revised deal tomorrow.

And you should be ashamed of yourself

[alphorn] 06/7/2015 19:10

That is a very unpleasant post.

Barclays Capital Says Greece Likely Leaving Euro; Germans Can't Wait

[christh] 06/7/2015 12:22

the German army will not stand for it!

The start of the end of the euro

[blackberry122] 06/7/2015 08:00

short term pain for everyone else, longer term for the greeks, but probably the best result. In truth the euro is only viable for the northern european countries, who have sufficient fiscal discipline and can raise taxes appropriately to meet any debt requirements. Black economies like Greece, portugal, spain, italy are like a bath of water, filling at the top, while someone holds the plug open at the bottom.

Market will crash now

[johnwise] 06/7/2015 05:01

The Greeks may have lost their Marbles, but they’ve still got their balls and have dared to stand up to Germany’s attempts to create a Fourth Reich – a single EU superstate under German control.

[vk74] 06/7/2015 00:17

Good job Greece, let's see what the new Deal is going to be if any.Maybe is a good time to buy tomorrow.

[sr2day] 05/7/2015 23:40

it sounds all greek to me and many.the future for Greece is going to be painful.you just cannot cut the hand that is feeding you unless you are prepared to work hard and it appears many greeks do not know the meaning.many in asia ,africa in this world of austerity has to work bloody hard to earn a living..

[mrcravat] 05/7/2015 23:29

They got what they wanted...now all they have to do is "pay" for it & they are holding no aces in this game of bluff.

[johnwise] 05/7/2015 22:49

Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande called an emergency meeting to find a 'solution' for Greece --Hmmm, the solution wouldn't involve the movement of panzers across the border again would it...

[prambigear] 05/7/2015 22:46

Yep. A left wing government that like others thinks they only have to vote for more money.... someone else's money
