    One glib remark along the lines of "there's more to the referendum debate than economics" and still Bazza the Beeler is spewing his ring four months later <laugh>

    Still, the secret of politics and economics remains privy to the vegetarian environmental consultant <laugh>

    "Who even cares about economics?

    Ps - I know the secrets"

    Well it's all going to come to a head in March when €3.4bn is due to be paid to the IMF, from money they don't have - they reckon there's been €10bn of capital flight from the country in the last week alone, as people hide their cash in case the radical left try impose capital controls.

    Yes Mick, the capital flight is all part of the secret plan that only environmental consultatnts know.

    Watch and learn the secret. You CAN spend more than you earn, you DON'T need to collect taxes, that's the secret. Just trust him.

    The pair of you have absolutely no idea what's going on in the world. Just stick to reading books and newspaper articles by economists and political commentators, there's a good pair of chaps. Meanwhile, in the real world...

    "In the two sessions since Sunday's election, banks have seen 23% of their value wiped off, with investors fretting that the possibility of Greece leaving the euro would see bank accounts converted back into a new Greek national currency."

    Time to get that holiday to Greece booked with my suitcase full of stuff to swap for Euros <ok>

    I don't live in Greece. Also, they're lazy *****s so they'll probably **** everything up and give smug ****s like you another excuse to defend the super-rich.

    If it happens here I'll be straight on a train to London <ok>

    It's the Greeks who are ****ing everyone in the EuroZone over, by firstly failing to carry out their Tax collecting duties...for donkey's years, and then by creating Jobs they could not afford.

    80k euro wage for a train driver in Athens, while the state subsidised 80% of the fare for a train. Free money for everyone!
