If I were a Greek, I would be out on the streets too | Simon Jenkins

Why should Greeks accept austerity when they know foreign taxpayers will finance their extravagance?

What would you do this morning if you were a Greek? Would you agree to your government cutting public sector jobs, pay and pensions, and increasing taxes? Or would you do what thousands of Greeks are doing and take to the streets, calling the bluff of Germans and French and making them dig deeper into their pockets?

I would not hesitate. I would take to the streets. Britain may not have that...
