From Private Eye: Greece will miss target

The Greek government admitted today that it would miss its target demanded by the troika of lenders to utterly obliterate its economy and create 100% unemployment.  “While we have made major steps towards the total destruction of our country, much work remains to be done”, admitted a scared-looking government spokesman, having petrol bombs hurled at him.  “I’ve just sacked myself, does that help?”  The troika said that the total collapse of the Greek economy must be achieved if Greece is to qualify for billions more euros in loans, which are needed to keep the country going, due to the total collapse of the Greek economy.
