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

I just saw a red kite fly over my hous in full wings spread glory and honour. Surely it is an omen. *everything crossed including eyes*

 

[Coolfonz]

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

If the ECB (or anyone else with dough but probs ECB) doesn't support Greek banks that could be the first punishment, would force Syriza to keep banks closed...

I now formally forgive you for the 2004 anti-football campaign.

23.3pc 60/40 (turnout 57pc? Gruffalo?)

 

[butchersapron]

One last downer note - these are not results, they're projections.

Winning is everything.

 

[Fez909]

Gruffalo?

What does this mean? Seen it twice now.

argentina is a good modern example to look at when an elecorate votes in a government who default on unreasonable debt slavery. seperate menus in cafes that are for currency rather than product. Its not good but what else are you going to do? Starve the entire productive portion of your populace through debt. Fuck that.

 

[Coolfonz]

Just joking, i wanted to make a new Gr~word. It's not a very good one. Turnout looks quite low afaics from ministry site. Am i mistaken?

 

[butchersapron]

Terrorist lose.

I get the impression from talking to Spanish leftists that a lot of them do see the medium term game in the sort of Chile/Argentina debt default terms.

 

[J Ed]

Terrorist lose.

Didn't take you for a Counter-Strike player

I have no idea what that means. The last game i played was prob before consoles came back into fashion. Apart from championship manager - the habit i can't shake.

 

[Coolfonz]

Peston saying Greek bankers effectively on side of Syriza now, need ECB funding to avoid `humanitarian` disater...

At the end of Counter-Strike games you hear this if the non-terrorists win, sounded a bit Counter-Strike esque is all

Peston is a bit too rooted in reality for the Brave New BBC

 

[DotCommunist]

mentalist reporter on C4 just wails 'we should never have let marxists into europe!'

fucking clown

 

[J Ed]

Eurasia was, and always has been, communist...

Watch right-wingers 'forget' that the crisis was instigated by and accelerated under neoliberal governments.

He's a disgraceful wannabe dr who to me.
