Greek climax

They have defaulted.

What does that mean?

They have passed an agreed time and not paid the agreed amount. Nothing too strange about that. However, it has taken a long time to get to this point.

There is no fighting on the streets, but then I did not predict that would happen within minutes of the default, merely that without pay for civil servants, [Police & Military] the security of Greek society would weaken considerably.

Funnily enough there is still another date [two in fact] to watch before anything really drastic happens. 1) July 5th Sunday's referendum and then 2) July 20th when Greece must repay a bond to the European Central Bank.

This saga is far from over...
