The Greek people are not the culprits.

Greek PM convenes emergency meeting of his bailout negotiation team



Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras

 
The world should stop blaming the Greek people for the economic crisis faced by the EU in respect of Greek exit from the Eurozone.
The culprits are the banks and financial institution, former corrupt and incompetent Greek governments financed and encouraged by Brussels and the European Central bank, the Germans seeking to gain by financial manipulation what they were unable to achieve by conquest and the sinister American backed IMF. It is the Greek people who have been paying the price with years of ever more severe austerity, cuts to living standards, job losses and reductions of almost 69% in wages, salaries and pensions.

The way out of the mess created and perpetuated by others outside Greek borders is clear. Continually borrowing money from Europe and the IMF in the form of "bail out loans" simply to pay off the previous bailout loans is economic lunacy and does nothing to resolve the underlying problem.  Alexis Tsipras and the new SYRIZA led coalition government, should immediately take Greece out of the Eurozone, re introduce the Drachma and devalue against Sterling and the Dollar.
There are many in Europe who will be appalled at this solution and will no doubt try to prevent the move using any means, political, financial or otherwise to prevent it.
It is time for the Greek people to reject the years of austerity and hardship imposed upon them by others, to regain control of their own destiny and emerge from under the heel of the European boot.

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 writing on the wall

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
