[10:30] {Threei} (IT) IMF spokesperson: have not received any request from Italy for financing

[12:28] {Threei} emergency meeting eh
[12:29] {patience} they are a polite group, they agreed to move out of the space they are occupying so city workers could put up christmas lights
[12:30] {patience} watch, a judge will agree you can cut off electricity but will make the city provide water as necessary to human life
[12:31] {Threei} in Victoria, easily
[12:32] {Threei} (GR) Greece PM Papandreou: New elections at the moment would be 'catastrophic'; Referendum provides a solution for alliances and decisions; will provide answers domestically and internationally- Notes that he trusts the 'wisdom of the Greek people'; highlights that EMU partners have acknowledged the rights to hold a referendum.
[12:32] {Threei} - Notes that the options he saw available were a referendum, consensus or new elections; eventually settling on a referendum as the only option.
[12:32] {Threei} - The Brussels bailout deal from October 26th would be the central issue to be debated in the referendum. - Rejection of the bailout deal would signal the beginning of Greece's departure from the euro zone.
[12:32] {Threei} - Plans to have further talks with opposition parties, cannot accept or reject their terms out of hand.
[12:32] {Threei} - Conditions for cooperation are specific policy ideas. One condition is for the Socialist Party to be solidly united, confidence vote on Friday is crucial, confidence bote will guarantee Socialist party cohesion.
[12:32] {Threei} - Nothing is off the table in talks with the opposition.
[12:32] {Threei} ***Reminder: Earlier the ruling party indicated that new elections may result in a bankruptcy
[12:32] {dino} seems to me these are not areas for camping
[12:33] {patience} doesn't matter, the public has been told by the courts they can squat in public places
[12:33] {patience} you can sleep overnight but have to leave during the workday usually
[12:40] {RonS} can you say cluster? from ap: BREAKING: Greece's premier: Opposition invited to join debt deal negotiations.
[12:41] {dino} you forgot the f part
[12:45] {Threei} will these idiots ever shut up?
[12:45] {Threei} (GR) Greece Fin Min Venizelos: Greece must assure the world it is not holding the referendum; must inform partners that it will do all it can to implement the bailout
[12:45] {dino} yadda yadda yadda
[12:46] {Threei} unbelieavable
[12:46] {Threei} translation:
[12:46] {Threei} we must assure the woprld we are willing to ignore what people who elected us want;
[12:47] {Threei} we must inform the world that we will shove this bailout in people's throats
[12:47] {Threei} oh and:
[12:47] {RonS} Flash: Obama Gets Subpeonaed

[13:44] {Threei} in their rush to solve this second problems, they totally lost a feel of how it all looks:
[13:45] {Threei} their decisions are against the will of people, and they are scared to death of that will veing expressed
[13:45] {Threei} Just look at this mad dash to squeeze the idea of referndum
[13:46] {Threei} normally politicians are more refined in what they say, and there would be a lot of sugarcoating abut how they respect etc etc
[13:46] {Threei} but in this panic they lost their composure
[13:46] {Threei} RIMM 1:1 btw
[13:46] {Threei} and revealed their true face
[13:46] {dino} they are about to lose their heads (thats why military heads fired)
[13:47] {Threei} yeah, that was quite a move
[13:47] {dino} coup
