[Pickman's model]

Minister of interior talking on BBC

saying what?

 

[Pickman's model]

Oh no, what have I started!

 

[Fez909]

The official results page says 9.47% rather than 7.5%...even better

The Greeks were terrorised by the private media, some were forced to attend the yes rally in fear of their job, there were manager lockouts and workers were threatened about the future and they STILL told the Troika to go fuck themselves. Hahahaha.

Did he tell you that..in Greek?
You are Peter O'Hanra-Hanrahan AICMFP

 

[Idris2002]

It's the hope that kills you in the end.

I heard a lot of stories in my time. They usually went along with a tinny piano playing in the parlour. They all started the same way too: "mister I knew a man once, when I was a kid".

Polls wrong, then?

Quelle surprise!

 

[trabant]

Quelle surprise!

From what I understand, the polls were done over the phone. Many of the poorest who would vote oxi have had their phones cut...

 

[butchersapron]

Blimes. Proper blimes.

Vicky Pryce speaking sense...EU brought it on themselves

 

[Idris2002]

After all the bullshit they've thrown at Tsipras and Varoufakis Schaeuble & Junker should do the honourable thing & resign if the Greeks vote NO.

Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects.

Vicky Pryce speaking sense...EU brought it on themselves

That's the jailed perjuror who said she would vote yes and the eu is right?

 

[Coolfonz]

If the turnout is not very high can I be first to call it a Gruffalo?

 

[Coolfonz]

That's the jailed perjuror who said she would vote yes and the eu is right?

Indeed!

 

[DotCommunist]

Blimes. Proper blimes.

I had prepared myself for total despair at the result, but shit just got interesting.

 

[Idris2002]

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

 

[DotCommunist]

is it to soon to get my party poppers out and my gloat on?

 

[butchersapron]

is it to soon to get my party poppers out and my gloat on?

Yes

 

[Coolfonz]

16.1pc still 60/40

 

[butchersapron]

It's edging towards 61%. No wobbles.

 

[Louis MacNeice]

Part of me is really happy to see this; especially after all of the scare mongering shit, end of the world bollocks that has been thrown at the no campaign. And part of me is sad and worried as to what the next anti-democratic, anti-social, inhuman, pro-capital, vindictive piece of bullshit the Greek working class are going to be subjected to, just so that everybody else learns the lesson...there is no alternative.

Here's hoping that happy wins out for all of us - Louis MacNeice

21pc 60/40

 

[chilango]

Might make our referendum a little more interesting.

 

[Belushi]

I'm on tenterhooks, don't want to start celebrating yet..

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Might make our referendum a little more interesting.

The impact on the Spanish elections is probably more significant.

 

[butchersapron]

The impact on the Spanish elections is probably more significant.

In immediate terms, in longer terms, maybe not.

I'm on tenterhooks, don't want to start celebrating yet..

After having been beaten for so long i no longer know what is the safe time to breathe out.
