The cradle of democracy has spoken and told the banks to shove it and done so with gusto.
Fantastic and possibly the first signs of spring after a long dark winter of capitalist excess. Could we now see a return to real equality, fraternity and dignity for the people of Europe. And and end to poverty, austerity and rampant banker excess.
May this be the wake up call for the EU to end the run of its un-elected chambers and a curtailment of the IMF and banks rule by austerity and imposition of poverty on those it is supposed to be there to serve not rule. Fingers crossed.
Of course the news media will have a field day headlines like:
"Thousands leave Greece"
"Banks could collapse"
"Elvis found on mount Olympus"
"Greek Prime Minister ate my Hampster".
"Emergency EU summit"
"Greek Banks cause run on Pitta Bread"
"Greek leads EU revolt"
"Greece apply for oyster card blocked by Boris"
As we speak you cannot get a hotel with a veranda in Athens thanks to the news teams setting up sat dishes next to the sun loungers. Also, all the heads of Euro, IMF ECB and even bloody Wonga are packing their swimming cozys and booking the Ryan air to an airport only 100 miles from Athens. Naturally, easy terms on loans and no questions asked. Hold on! Isnt that how we got in this mess.
Five drakmars will get you ten that the Russians will soon be on the scene causing a run on house prices on the Adriatic and I bet even the Syrian refugees will stop going.
At last we finally got some humanity back into politics and the rights of the people against the endless pursuit of the minority for riches and of course what really is causing panic is the possibility that Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland may now ask for their loans to be re-scheduled. Ha! Brilliant. For once could the one percent who own 90 percent of the wealth of this world be in for a "hair cut".. I for one hope they get scalped.. A good dollop of beans on toast and switching off lights might do them good.
