GREEN OR BUST.

It has been obvious for some considerable time that the western world's economic turmoil can only get worse; we have been putting sticking plasters on amputated limbs. This section of the planet is run by politicians totally out of their depths, chasing the debt, and Europe is loaded with them. Chancellor Merkel has got her knickers in a real twist regarding Greece and the Euro. Having loaned billions so far, we can't get it back without giving them the money with which to pay us back; yes and we, the Brits, have joined in this nonsense, thanks to Alistair Darling. Let's face it, a few more billion from our total debt of £5 trillion will hardly be noticeable, which is just as well, because the chances of getting it back are slim indeed!

If I'm living in a democracy, I need it to be explained to me in clear and concise terms.


POLITICAL VANITY MUST BE CLOSE TO INSANITY.

HASTY POLITICAL DECISIONS.

An unfortunate aspect of democratic government currently being played out in Germany, was the instant decision to blame Spanish cucumbers for their dire outbreak of E.coli. This situation is very serious, as innocent people lose their lives without a word of warning. The point being made here, was the insistence of the German Government, that the cause was immediately deemed to be these cucumbers. However, many days later, a direct connection has still not been made.

It seems here, that the camaraderie is supposed to be one of the core values of the European Union, that is, until the German Government decides that the wheels come off, due to the afore mentioned imminent election. Such decisions can throw a nation's economy into a 'tail-spin'. Spain, which is already facing severe financial problems, can only look on, and destroy millions of their current crop of vegetables. In addition to this flippant knee jerk reaction by the Germans, it has triggered a cancellation of all Russian purchases of vegetables from the whole of the EU. How smart is that? No doubt the UK will be asked to contribute to any subsequent bail out for the Spanish Government.


I WONDER WHAT THE ADVANTAGES OF EU MEMBERSHIP HAPPENS TO BE?

ANGELA HAS GONE A FUNNY SHADE OF GREEN.

In a panic to appease the 'Greens', Chancellor Merkel has promised to get rid of nuclear power stations by the early 2020's. This of course is tremendous news for the French, as their export of electricity should go up in leaps and bounds. I'm sure that they will consider building many more nuclear power stations close to the German border.

It is difficult to establish how the Hun intends to power it's industry, as the wind refuses to blow at a constant speed, if at all. This, therefore, calls for some kind of traditional backup. In Germany's case, this would suggest coal fired power stations. What goes around, comes around.

As Germany gets closer to election time, expect Angela to appear in an outfit similar to Her Maj's, as the latter arrived in Ireland.


LET'S GET THE UK OUT OF THIS DIM CLUB.
