"Not sure what your comments about Cameron are anything to do with this. "
Of course they are - a member state is attempting to over-ride the rules of the organisation in order to suit its own partcular right-wing ideology.
If Britain is allowed to do it, why can't the Greeks re-negotiate a debt taken out by previous Governments in order to help it out of a crisis brought about by right wing greed, dishonesty and incompetence?
This crisis is one created by "the unacceptable face of capitalism" and needs to be recognised as such in order to prevent it from continuing to happen .
"The democratically elected government of Greece are accepting the measures required to keep the country from imploding. "
The Democratically elected Government of Greece are being forced to work their way around the democratically taken decision of the Greek people because the E.U. - who have described that democratically arrived at decision as a "dishonest betrayal", because they are being blackmailed by the E.U.
They have not apologised and they certainly are not "wrong"   
Repaying the loan (the moneylenders) will only benefit the better off countries (€9 billion of the last loan was used to repay previous loans and did nothing for the Greek people)
If Tsipras if forced to introduce further austerity measures it will mean that the E.U. is electing Greece's Government and not the people - a step away from the colonels.
The present situation was reached by a combination of the right and only some of the ruling ministers - political and economic chaos which can only benefit the Merkin Mob and the Greek right wing - certainly not the Greek people
It seems the Rabid Right might be making headway in Europe
