OH DEAR, Greece has gone bust. Hard luck, but does it really matter to UK citizens?

France and Germany, however, say British taxpayers have to fork out on a £20bn package to help them.

Now I understand why my income tax for 2010/11 has gone up by £1,000 – it’s because of Franco-German plans for an economic government for the EU.
