It is not the Greek people who are pulling out their money.

Greeks are pulling their money out of banks... and spending it on cars?

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.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
