I have been really sorry to see that your economy is in such trouble but do forgive me for saying that extremely poor financial controls, 'having your karythopitta and eating it', as well as joining the eurozone, were not all that bright!
What do you say? - It wasn't you, it was your crazy politicians?- Well, I really do understand that point - you'd be astonished how close our own numptys have come to fomenting disaster - and that's even without them having gone totally doolally tap and signing us up for the euro too. Mind you - they can't claim any real credit (pun intended) as they had previously seen it as merely 'an inevitabilty deferred'.
BTW, am I wrong to recall that as we have been pouring money into the EU, you have been grabbing it as fast as you can?
I must apologise for mentioning it ( bit of a touchy subject, really) - but haven't your farmers been scamming the EU out of our taxpayers' money on a grand scale with hosts of non-existent olive groves, vineyards and orchards? Obviously, I shall not be mentioning the mega improvements to your infrastructure that my family has been so happily contributing to ever since you attached yourself to the EEC milch cow way back in 1981.
"As we have been helping with billions to bail you out already - we should be used to it by now?"
Ah. Yes. Now come on. Not the strongest of arguments is it? - But never mind, our sellout politicians have swallowed it as a pretty impressive piece of logic.
What's that you say? Sorry, what?
Ah. Yes. You are perfectly correct. "When Brussels tells 'em to jump - they do indeed ask 'how high'?"
So, friends: it does appear that we in the UK shall have to further reduce our living standards to accomodate both your profligacy and a tyrant's wishes.
Of course we shall. We are used to it. We do not really mind. After all - if we did, we would never vote for the quisling, europhile parties who take us along such pot hole-ridden ways.
Okay. Gotta love you and leave you now. Give us a call any time you need large amounts of ready cash and we'll see what we can do, buddy.
