Briton launches crowdfunding campaign to pay off Greece debt
Thom Feeney offers postcards of Alexis Tsipras for €3 and has raised €250,000, as ‘while politicians are dithering, the crisis is affecting real people’

As the Greek government and its creditors are locked in talks ahead of a deadline for the country to meet a £1.6bn debt repayment, an online crowdfunding campaign started by a London shoe shop worker is aiming to break the impasse by collecting a Greek bailout fund of his own.

“I can understand why people might take it as a joke, but crowdfunding can really help because it’s just a case of getting on and doing it,” he said on its website.

“I was fed up of the Greek crisis going round in circles, while politicians are dithering, this is affecting real people. While all the posturing is going on, then it’s easy for the politicians to forget that. I just thought, sod it, I’ll have a crack.”

He confirmed that, as yet, no Greek or other European leader had been in touch regarding the offer. All donations will be refunded if the target is not reached within seven days, Feeney said.

:1: What a good lad Tom is and common sense and a bit of heart is great to see, loved this story and i hope the target is reached stranger things have happend and the poor suffering Greeks can have some life back to normality, what a good lad
 
Now i thought this was a great idea and this lads intentions captured my attention, there is not enough of people like Tom in this world, i love to see fellow humans putting others ahead of themselves and trying to help people who am suffering over that part of the world yet we just carry on our lives as normal, 3 euro's is nothing, what say £2 each and we can stop peoples lives in Greece from becoming hell,,,,,feck sake man i know times am hard but none on us would starve handing out £2
 
I would like to know what he will do with the money now as it isn't enough? He should donate it to a charity out there
 
says in the article the money gets refunded if target not reached.

I prop them up with the amount of Greek Yoghurt I buy!
 
LOL Fear and his speare change alone is keeping the Greek economy going PMSL, it is a point though, the money thats been donated if the target not reached give it Acorns or the Greek people walk into Hersonisos or Athens and shout ''PEOPLE OF GREECE COME AND GET A LOAD OF THIS BABY'' anbd empty the 100's of thousends of pounds into the street whilst wearing a Harry Hill mask shouting ''fiiiiight'' now that would be good TV
