Yanis Varofakis has made a short, but very dispiriting, summary of the Greek government's attempts to negotiate any of the terms being dictated to them by Europe:

Read it & weep :( . It's quite easy to see why Europe is now probably a doomed project in the long run (by their own hands).
While the Eurozone crash of the last few years has clearly demonstrated that Britain was right to not to drop the Pound in favour of the Euro, the treatment of Greece now makes me think that the whole EU project is doomed (without major reforms that no-one seems willing to consider), and thus Britain should avoid any further integration with Europe at all (even if that means leaving the EU entirely). I suspect thus was the kind of change-of-heart which David Cameron obliquely warned his European compatriots could happen to the British people, if Europe didn't treat Greece fairly (but firmly).
