Greece and Euro Union crisis ?

How serious is the situation in Greece?  Should we feel sorry for the Greeks?  Will this affect our economy in UK? How dangerous is it for the FTSE? Or should we quietly ignore Greece's turmoils?

The situation no matter what the vote was, happens to be serious. With a NO they are saying that a solution must be found. A YES would have been a slow death. In fact I was surprised by the size of the NO vote but still a lot of work to do. Decades of corruption and tax evasion must come to an end. at least this government is against that kind of excess. When the Euro came in some governments got handy sweeteners. Ireland put theirs into infrastructure and education. The Greeks bought a submarine and tanks from Germany!! bad government. this new government is not liked as they stand up for the Greek people. So good look to the Greeks. They need encouragement and thanks for standing up for Democracy. The EU is becoming a fundamentally anti-democratic organisation. We should stand with our friends in Europe but not dictated to by Brussels.
