Greece.

We're told the EU makes us all stronger. But this haunting dispatch from a despairing, destitute Greece may make you change your mind 

Here in Athens's Syntagma Square, just after breakfast time one weekday morning, pensioner Dimitris Christoulas put a handgun to his head and pulled the trigger, writes SUE REID. The retired pharmacist had walked out of his flat in a middle-class suburb for the last time. He locked the heavy shutters behind him, and the door where he had hung a sign saying: 'Can't Pay, Won't Pay'. In his jacket he carried a note saying his pension had been cut to ribbons and he couldn't face a future of 'raiding rubbish bins for food'. Mail.
