Maybe all it will take is a bit of rioting in the streets Pity that the only way to make politicians listen is to grab them by the gurglers and shake the shlt out of them

Well that's where democracy was born.
Even if they've spent the intervening couple of millenia fighting each other, losing their marbles, and having coups.
The lucky beggars!
Being allowed a vote. On their own future, in a referendum!
The Greeks must still have a bit of respect for their politicans.
Unlike here.
Even if they did lead them all up shish kebab creek, without a paddle.

From interviews I've seen on TV I think they are as well thought of over there as they are here - or to be honest are more loathed by the average Greek.
They've reached destination - the rest of us are still paddling in the same direction up that Creek.

Yes, we've been shafted for so long, we'd nearly forgot they were still at it.
We didn't tell 'em to sod off, till we found out that whilst they were rutting away they also had their hands in our purses, taking out loads of 'expenses' for porn movies etc.
Though they didn't want to tell us they had their sticky fingers in there...for security worries.

I see the Greek government are giving the people a referendum on whether they should except the EU bail out, if they vote against this everything will go belly up, it really is time to rethink our membership of this failing organisation, who ever thought a joining together of so many separate countries would ever work is totally deluded, it takes enough effort to run one country, never mind bumping 27 together and trying to make that work
