Ladling it out to Greece

In comments at John Redwood's site, FatBigot offers a perspective on the Greek protests with an appropriately culinary metaphor:

When people are offered a free lunch they tend to say yes, even though there is said to be no such thing. When they have been served what they perceive to be a free lunch for many years the idea that they should pay for the bread roll this year and the soup in two years time, with the cost of main course and pudding lurking in the future, is met with foreseeable resistance. Others have paid for it so far, so “they” must pay for it again.

But now the Greeks are, um, stuffed.
