the end of the eu, many countries with anti eu parties, will seal there borders to keep out refugees who take boats from libya, russia and greece will have more ties, with economic aid, and more military ties, the eu's biggest weakness was having a coup in ukraine, which intruth, it speed up its collapse, in giving ukraine money, that was not going to be given back, where was the eu going to get its money to pay off greece debuts, the greek people caught on and voted, before it is too late, there is no way that greece would have economic wealth under the eu, whats worst than having soviet style poverty, in your country,

Nick Clegg on the Sunday Politics
said is a shame they cancelled todays Leaders Summit,
because Greece and Germany keep going the wrong way
and if they are removed from the EU
then Putin can come on in with his , help.

Greece was already in debt before they joined the EU anyway.

I feel sorry for the EU getting abuse by some of the Greeks when the rest of us in the EU have been paying to keep that country a float.

Taken from the newsletter of Vicky Ford MEP:

"Yet again eyes are focused on Greece. The British media caricatures this as a Germany vs Greece battle but I am struck by comments from other countries. My Croatian colleague Ruža Tomašić asked "why should the Greek pensions be paid by people who have lower pension expectations themselves?" another colleague described how a "haircut" on Greek debt would be paid for by nurses in Portugal. I understand that Estonia has already sent over 4 percent of their GDP to Greece, Malta 3.5% and Slovenia over 3%. I hope that this new deal does help to get the Greek economy moving again but I fear it's not solved.

I know Greek people quite well, and one thing I know is that laws mean nothing to them unless they are enforced. Greece will receive the money, and nothing much will change. It will just be a bigger problem in 6 months or a years time. As Germany is the majority contributor to the bailout, they stand to lose the most if it all goes pear shaped - and it will.

Thankfully, its only private banks that are lending to Greece in the UK.

How is it bullying when Greece lied about their debts when they joined the EU?
