England and Greece are friends. English blood was shed on Greek soil in the war against fascism, and Greeks gave their lives to protect English pilots.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I would say we are a friend in need and I am sure that the Greek people would very much welcome the choice of the British people to come and enjoy Greece, first of all, but also that would be a sign of support.
Scotland and England may sometimes be rivals, but by geography, we are also neighbours. By history, allies. By economics, partners. And by fate and fortune, comrades, friends and family.
Britain is less European-minded than Greece.
Europe existed before Britain joined it.
English has always had a special fondness for other European languages, a neighborly soft spot - perhaps because Britain has been invaded by speakers of those languages from the onset of its recorded history.
So long as classical education and classical prejudices prevailed, educated Englishmen inevitably saw ancient Britain as an alien land.
I love the Greeks. There's no messing around - it's all do or die with them.
England and France were rivals, not only on the continent, but in the West Indies, in India, and in Europe.
I will always be upfront with the Greek people, so we can solve the country's problems together.
We Greeks are the blacks of Europe.
