Trust issues

In the lexicon of great historical lies, such as “The cheque is in the post” or “Yes, I’ll still love you in the morning”, we can now safely add another – Greeks promising to pay back their debts.

This tragedy has gone on for long enough; it is not helping the Greek people, and it makes the EU/IMF look supine and untrustworthy.

In this complex tale of economics and politics, one thing seems clear – for a country to be economically independent, it must control its own currency – SNP please note!
