    I do not mean that Greece should be kicked out of" the 17-nation eurozone, said Hans-Peter Friedrich in an interview with news magazine Der Spiegel, "but to create incentives for an exit that they cannot turn down."

    "Oh no, Monsieur Greco-Lapadite. I vould not force you to do anything, merely ... how vould you say ... incourage you."

    From what I understand, it was only Greece's very creative booking methods that allowed it entry into the Eurozone in the first place.

    Put another way, does anyone (besides Greece) *benefit* by having Greece remain?

    What's the down side to kicking them out?

    We should all gang up on the Germans and kick them out of the Eurozone. Then we can go back to having the crack again!

    The verbatim phrase Friedrich doesnt quite remember from a conversation he had with Mario Draghi was that Mario is planning to make the Greeks 'an offer they can't refuse'.

    Might as well leave the Euro, have currency control working for them rather then the bigger Eurozone countries.

    I think they should leave the Eu..The country is awash with illegal immigrants and a has huge black market.Let them leave and try to rebuild with tourism or olive oil but to keep giving them billions when clearly there is no drive to reform is money down a black hole.But without EU money I think Greece will end on a par with Eygpt.

    I certainly am. I think the only realistic option left is for the Irish army to invade and conquer continental Europe.

    Plus Fianna Fail are still in existence, at least when the Germans hit rock bottom they got rid of the Nazis.

    Seems to be where this heading tbh..return of a caphilite of sorts..it clear that countries in the south of Europe without resources to defend themselves are gonna be over-run with the arab springers and seek to distribute them all over Europe and countries to the North are gonna seal up the borders.That in itself is creating a two tier europe.
