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...

Workers face ban on striking .

Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential. Should Harriet Harman suggest even partial support for Conservative policies, she is clearly in the wrong party.

Leave the clocks alone!

  https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/did-you-remember-to-put-clocks-forward-224737/ Sanity returns!!! The clocks have gone forward by one hour and perhaps now I can get some proper sleep, and return to normal in numerous other areas which have been disrupted since 25th October 2020. That pesky little person who steals an hour from my sleep and disrupts my time/body clock for the next 6 months, should be confined to a secure location for ever. Never again should I and thousands like me be disrupted every year and for no apparent reason by an outdated and tenuous notion of "daylight saving". In fact we should probably put another hour at the start of the Summer and then stay on Double British Summer Time (DBST). for the duration. Message for pesky little person "LEAVE THE BLOODY CLOCKS ALONE!"
