DAVID CAMERON FLEXES HIS MUSCLES AGAIN.

It could be a mirage, but the British Prime Minister is suddenly saying a number of right things regarding the Eurozone disaster. The situation over there has certainly gone a little quiet; it is impossible to get rid of the Greek problem without creating a further problem elsewhere. Greece is way beyond redemption as a member of the 'Toytown' currency, the Euro. If it were that easy to haul one's economy out of the enormous 'black hole' that is their economy, everyone would be at it. Tinkering, as pointed out by Cameron in his speech in Davos, is no panacea; decisive savings must be found. The clowns in Brussels seem to think that inventing new taxes is the answer. That is about the depth of a socialist's thinking.

If the PM is sincere about his current crusade, all well and good. The fact that his unpopularity with the dim officialdom on the other side of the Channel augurs well for his increased popularity at home. He has, however, only shifted up to second gear, with at least three more to engage.


DON'T STOP NOW.

THE BRAINWASHING OF A GENERATION.

The author's interest in history, particularly that of the 20th century, reminds me of the situation in the Ukraine between 1942/44. As the different regimes passed through, Nazi and Communist; the history books were rewritten to include the propaganda to suit the politics of either party.

Let us understand, therefore, what is happening under the unelected cabal that runs the European Union in Brussels. Their hopes and wishes are presented to children, with a view to coercing them into believing in the Marxist doctrine; bureaucratic central control, rather like unions; giving high paid jobs to the brothers and sisters who are fellow travellers. A system which has been going on in the UK since the end of the second world war.

It should be self-eviden, that reading the political history of the twentieth century is the subject to be included in every schools curriculum. It's frightening how the world keeps ignoring the facts.


WE ONLY HAVE OURSELVES TO BLAME.

M&S IN MORE BACKROOM TALKS.

This isn't the British shopping chain we're talking about i.e Marks & Spencer, but the furtive Merkel and Sarkozy. Their latest scam will have to be the last in this series; the world will not believe another pack of lies following the abject failure of all the previous attempts to buck the market. The economies of both Greece and Italy continue in free fall. This side of the English Channel we can feel the 'death rattle' of the Euro.

"Hands up all who wish to subscribe to the 'save the Euro' fund". Poor Sarkozy has got to perform some extra special political contortions before France's forthcoming Presidential Election in the spring. The problem is, that this is far too important an issue to bend the truth for political gain, but it happens all the time, due to expediency.

The Americans are making their annoyance very obvious, as Obama is into to his election year, and yes, it does no harm to be putting the blame elsewhere. Nobody, however, is taking the blame, which collectively is that of the total western world. There are some rather intelligent folk around who have been pointing out for sometime, that the credit crunch proper has still to come.


LET US HOPE THAT WE CAN HANDLE IT.

2012, A YEAR OF FOREBODING.

It would be easy to accept that France is the driving force behind the blind obsession with the failed currency, the Euro; they think that it creates a common bond, and therefore a closer relationship between member nations. Unfortunately, this is so obviously not the case. Alternatively, Germany thinks that it can assume ultimate power because of a superior economic position. But is that what is really behind the German case? Perhaps it's intransigence in both cases.

One of the author's Christmas presents is a book explaining the German Psyche during the final year of WWII: 'The End', written by Ian Kershaw (Sir), a specialist in the field of Adolph Hitler. From the introductory chapter, it becomes clear, apart from the core of ingrained Nazis, that the people in general were determined to fight on, possibly based mainly on pride, although Russian reprisals were also a major consideration; plus the regime's propaganda, poisoning the remaining population with Goebbel's verbal bile. The fact, however, was that they could not see the logic in coming to terms with the West; accepting the fact that Roosevelt would insist on nothing less than unconditional surrender. Nevertheless, fighting a losing war on one's own territory was an act of imbecility.

The question that is being asked here is, is it the Germans who cannot see the folly of the Euro, certainly in it's current form? Western economies will not survive, unless, like liquid, they find their own level. Something that can only happen by allowing the weaker, under-performing nations within the Eurozone to break away. Of course this will cause mayhem; the alternative, however, could be much worse.


IT'S DECISION TIME.
