Blissfully Ignorant Arrogance Exposed

Now I’m not one to get in between two star crossed lovers David, but you and QE might want to rethink this relationship.

Just a few hours ago Greek PM Tsipras addressed his nation imploring then to "remain calm" and reassuring them that their "deposits were safe." It appears the Greeks did not believe him.
