On a regular basis I write letters to the Daily Telegraph, and on very rare occasions one actually gets printed, and Saturday 18th February was one of those rare times.
I don't usually buy the Telegraph on a Saturday as I object to paying extra for a load of inserts and magazines that just get thrown away when all I want is the newspaper itself, so it was not until Sunday did I realise my letter, which is below, was used. It was short but to the point, so read on:
Undemocratic Greece
SIR – Richard Laming (Letters, February 17) considers that Greece does not have to ask permission to leave the EU, as it can do so of its own volition. Has he asked Lucas Papademos, the unelected Greek prime minister, if he would be prepared to take this logical step?
A former vice-president of the European Central Bank, Mr Papademos appears to be the EU’s placeman in Greece. So whom will he obey, the people of Greece who never had the opportunity to vote for him, or his old masters in the EU?

Well done, as a regular reader of the DT and a frequent online commenter, its great you were heard. Personally, I think Greece should default at 100pc, leave the Eurozone, and tell the Germans and Brussels to stick in where the sun doesn't shine. But, that's just my opinion.
