No Greek bail-out Germany should not pay out eight billion euros to help bail out the bankrupt Greeks.

The German people are right to oppose this move totally. It will just be wasted money.

If this move goes ahead the likes of Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the UK will all jump on the bandwagon and expect the Germans, as well as the French, Dutch, Austrians, Finns, and Danes, plus the IMF, to give them even more cash.

The Greeks should be turfed out of the euro zone. The euro is now in immense danger of collapse and it is only a matter of time before the EU also disintegrates – it may take a few decades, but it will ultimately fail. Our one saving grace is that the UK never joined the euro zone and we kept our pound.
