Britain's Contribution to IMF Support for Greece

The Telegraph reports on the c. four billion pounds which Britain is in line to contribute towards IMF support for Greece.

It's as well to remember that one day our own turn may come.

But perhaps Greece could reciprocate by providing around 300 brave Spartan policemen as a quid pro quo contribution, as additional security for the Olympic Games this summer? That should do the trick, based on the impressive Spartan track record. An alternative contribution might be 300 tons of  good Greek yoghurt, which seems to serve a variety of unethical alternative purposes these days (cf recent George Dalaras concert, Rhodes parade, Venizelos  and Zakynthos)

As we all predicted, the UK Olympics  budget calculations and projections left out some pretty major items.

Could have told you so.
