Olympiakos v Burnley

[sinkov]

"The government and its European lenders are keen to paint the end of the last bailout as a good thing, having avoided a "Grexit" in which the country would have crashed out of the eurozone into unknown territory.
But for many Greeks - especially the young - the damage has already been done.
Greece's unemployment rate peaked at 27.5% in 2013 - but for those under 25, it was more than double that, at 58%.
Last year, more than four in every 10 young Greeks were still jobless."

I like the way leaving the eurozone and reverting to their own currency is described as 'crashing out and into unknown territory', typical BBC. Look at the result of remaining in the eurozone, horrendous unemployment figures, that looks like the mother of all economic crashes to me. On the other hand, the UK, in that unknown territory outside the eurozone, has no unemployment problem, as near to full employment as you're going to get.

It's the same nonsense as describing leaving the EU without a deal as 'crashing out'. We just revert to WTO rules and trade with the EU on the same basis as virtually every other country in the world. Where's the crash ?

The way Merkel and her cronies crushed the Greek economy under their heels was one of the main factors in helping me making the decision to LEAVE.

Have any of you visited London lately? It does not look to me like an economic zone that is on one's uppers.

Yes but most people I meet seem to be tourists or immigrants. Maybe that’s what Londoners are? Will investigate this weekend.
Is Burnley on the up as a result of the PL?
