Does the UK owes 200 billions to greece and to denmark?...

 

Good question... the fact is that Prince Philip being lent to the United Kingdom Royals from Greek and Danish families, the rent could actually come to a hefty 250 billions — at say 60 years multiplied by 40 million a year plus Greek style inflation (knighthood included). Instant debt fix...

Now the major problem is for Greece to stop spending more than they earn... I'd say sell the Parthenon for another 300 billions to the highest bidder (possibly Japanese — them in much deeper shit-debt than the Greeks) who promise to leave the building where it is but install a subterranean hotel franchise and build a duplicate as a MacFood outlet advertising frontispiece.

My Greek side of the family that came from Serbia ain't to worry anymore about loosing their pants...

the parthenon is not for sale...

Greece's new left-wing finance minister says his government will not negotiate over the Greek bailout conditions with the "troika" team from the EU and IMF.

Yanis Varoufakis said he was rather seeking direct talks with eurozone leaders, to try to cancel more than half the money Greece owes.

He was speaking after meeting Jeroen Dijsselbloem, head of the eurozone group of finance ministers, in Athens.

Mr Dijsselbloem said Greece should stick to its reform commitments.

He said Greece and the Eurogroup had a "mutual interest in the further recovery of the Greek economy inside the eurozone" and warned against Athens acting unilaterally in its efforts to renegotiate its bailout.

Greece has endured tough budget cuts in return for its €240bn (£179bn; $270bn) bailout, agreed in 2010 with the "troika" - the European Commission, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central Bank (ECB).

In Berlin, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said the Greeks should abide by their commitments, adding: "There's no arguing with us about this and, what's more, we are difficult to blackmail."
