The socialist Syriza government of Greece is projecting that austerity referendum is being soundly rejected by the Greek people.

Early returns in the historic referendum showed the No side -Oxi in Greek =- running at 61pc versus 39pc for the Yes side as the Greek people turned out en masse to vent their anger over six years of economic depression and national humiliation. A volcanic revolt appeared to have swept through Greek islands.

Anger is great and all, but just a reminder to the Greek people – anger won’t pay the bills.

Shorter #Greece: They took the money. They spent the money. They refuse to pay back the money because it is gone. Now hard consequences.
