The Greek people who are living on the streets, or reliant on street soup kitchens, or who are deprived of electricity and other essential utilities, the hundreds of thousand who have been sacked from their jobs, the hundreds of thousands who have had their pensions and other benefits cut or completely stopped and all as the consequence of "austerity" imposed by the IMF, European Central Bank and Germany are not spending their "money" on cars and yachts.
The western media, led by the propaganda from Europe and the Troika, are all too keen to heap all the blame on the ordinary Greek people rather than the corrupt politicians, bankers and tax evading cliques of the Greek establishment. Alexis Tsipras and the Syriza party won an election with an anti austerity platform and since then European Bankers, the press, the IMF have been trying all means to disrupt, undermine and overthrow the new Greek government.

Distortion of truth in the struggle to dominate the Geek economy and pressurise the Greek government into submission, is not a new or the only weapon that the Troika use to inflict their will on the countries of the European Union. It just happens that in the Syriza government and the Greece, they have found a country and a people who are prepared to resist.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
