Greece v Germany

[colin12303]

Just read today that Greece wants compo from Germany because of the occupation in the 1940's.
We know Greece is skint and the austerity screws are being turned but this really smacks of desperation.
I remember in the early 80's when i visited Greece several times, the people seemed to be really laid back and happy,was joining the EU such a good idea?

Yes France will also ask compo from Italy for 4th centuries of occupation under Roman Empire... ;-)

Greeks should better pay their taxes, invest more in research and tax their shipowners... instead of looking for external enemies like Germans or immigrants.
I have many Greek friends pissed off by all this demagogy among Greek politicians.
