According to the Guardian, Golden Dawn MP Ilias Panagiotaros said: 'If Chrysi Avgi [Golden Dawn] gets into parliament, it will carry out raids on hospitals and kindergartens and it will throw immigrants and their children out on the street so that Greeks can take their place.' Are there hoards of Greeks waiting for Kindergarten/hospital places? Will the immigrants have paid for their treatments in Greece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash4781 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 According to the Telegraph while wanting to remain in the club 800m euros a day are being withdrawn by Greeks. Presumably the Greek banks must have funding lines else they will be going under as this looks like a full scale bank run! No wonder the US President phoned the Eu bloke. Cant imagine what mess will be uncovered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interestrateripoff Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/greek-bank-run-update-1-billion-day-now Yesterday, we did an update of the Greek bank jog, when noting that between €100-€500 million per day was being withdrawn from Greek banks based on Kathimerini reports. 24 hours later the jog has become a trot with the most recent estimate from Reuters now estimated at nearly double: "Combined daily deposit outflows from the major Greek banks have reached 500-800 million euros over the past few days, with the pace picking up as the election draws closer and rising noticeably on Tuesday, two bankers said." This is roughly $1 billion a day in the upper case, and a number that is approaching 0.5% of the entire documented €170 billion (now likely much less) deposit base. A billion a day, looks like panic come just before the election. Will the money return if pro bailout parties get in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigantic Purple Slug Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 this is very much entering the end game now. It's only going to take one bank to go down and the whole lot will crumble. I wonder when the next large bond payment is? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/greek-bank-run-update-1-billion-day-now A billion a day, looks like panic come just before the election.

man o' the year Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Caught ITV news yesterday reporting on state of Greece. It was like a third world country with people running for a food handout, medicines not available etc. and suicide rates up. It seemed you might be mugged for a sandwich you might eat in the street. human-cost-of-the-greek-crisis/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan110_0 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 As I predicted a few years ago, Greeks are abandoning the cities and returning to their ancestral villages : http://www.vancouversun.com/business/Greeks+retrace+path+back+land/6751477/story.html http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/09/world/europe/amid-economic-strife-greeks-look-to-farming-past.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all Greece and Cyprus (and I guess Spain, Italy, Portugal) will fare much better than the UK in a general collapse. We have our ancestral homes to return to, our farms and olive groves. Access to lots of firearms. Strong family ties. We are only one or two generations away from the land, and many of our relatives still live in the countryside and are self-sufficient from smallholdings. I could not imagine what would happen in the UK in a real emergency. Cities full of chavs who do not have the skills, knowledge or fortitude to feed themselves. Not to mention there is nowhere to grow anything.And if you did, the government would tax it away from you. Let them try that here, see how far they get. We will be OK. There's plenty of land to grow/breed things in the UK. Back gardens for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dances with sheeple Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) There's plenty of land to grow/breed things in the UK. Back gardens for a start. UK gov. needs to start turning land over to food production, benefit recipients to do two days a week compulsory work (5 hrs per day?), others willing to do full week offered jobs at Asda etc rates? Qualifications offered in land management/food technology (whatever that is ) I think Britain can manage better than many think, it just needs to be pushed into a difficult situation by the bond markets or something? Everybody thinking they are going to be famous or work in the media/fashion is not really working out? Anyone know the mental health stats for young people nowadays,I`m guessing it must be bad.

MRMX9 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 What's the odds Greece win the Euros and lose the Euro? You do wonder if tonight's result may affect the election tomorrow - the Greeks will be in a feel good - if we can beat the Russians we can beat anybody - mood. And its likely to be the Germans they face next. Might it inspire them to go for the anti bailout parties - and therefore tip the election? Well here's hoping!

JustAnotherProle Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Greek, Spanish savings flee eurozone crisis from businessweek.com Savers across Europe are fleeing the continent's debt crisis. In Europe's most economically stricken countries, people are taking their money out of their banks as a way to protect their savings from the continent's growing financial storm. Worried that their savings could be devalued, or that banks are on the verge of collapse and that governments cannot make good on deposit insurance, people in Greece, Spain and beyond are withdrawing euros by the billions -- behavior that is magnifying their countries' financial stresses. The money is being hoarded at home or deposited in banks in more stable economies. More Stable Economies? like where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Democorruptcy Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 This election can solve nothing because no party will win enough power to have a majority and be able to do anything. In May: New Democracy 18.9%, Syriza 16.8%, Pasok 13.2%, Others 51.1% It's exactly how TPTB want it, a smokescreen to cover their actions. Our lot have used it for the Mansion House speech which is total capitulation of taxpayer's money to our banks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interestrateripoff Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/debt-crisis-live/9336591/Greek-election-Live.html Former Greek PM George Papandreou told the Andrew Marr Show that Greece leaving the euro would be "catastrophic" for the country and warned there will be a “run” on the banks. "Leaving the euro would be catastrophic for Greece.There would be a bank run...we are still a high import country, we depend on oil, for example. Also we will have deep cuts and at the same time there will be most likely a cut in our GDP growth by 20pc, so this will be a major catastrophe that will have not only social but political consequences, which I believe will make it much more difficult for Greece to reform." There would be bank run!!!! Even bigger than the current bank run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
