THEY ARE STILL AT IT.

The streets of both Athens and Madrid continue to host violent demonstrations regarding both the Greek and Spanish economies. How much can we borrow? We can't afford to cut any further and so on. Well the hard truth is, that to stay within the Euro zone, you have no option. The only option is to exit this straight jacket, sooner rather than later, returning to the independence; giving yourselves the opportunity to control your own destiny, by reverting to your respective currencies, the drachma and the peseta. This naturally would cause other nations to follow: Ireland, Portugal, Italy, and ultimately France; 'sacre bleu'. The frightening aspect of the whole scenario is the recommendation that the way out is to borrow even more on top of the existing debt, which, of course, is Keynesian baloney.

The bloodshed that is frequently shown on news broadcasts on a weekly basis, is becoming quite horrendous. Unfortunately, it would appear that the Brussels Commission thinks that this process is most acceptable. How on earth can these scenes be alright within a union that considers itself democratic. As UKIP MEP Nigel Farage suggests, 'this is the price that these unelected officials are prepared to pay, to get their way'; nothing must prevent the juggernaut that is the European project.


THE COLLAPSE WON'T BE PRETTY.

FIFTY SHADES OF THE CLINTONS.

Although the author would not find the time to watch any TV programme involving Bill and Hillary Clinton, the BBC thinks that a three part series, which is referred to as being an absorbing insight, is important. Everything that the pair has achieved, gives the impression of being a political soap opera. Together, neither have ever performed a proper job, both having been political animals since their student days. This is a much loved approach by left of centre political 'con artists'.

We are aware of the former President, and his priapic rise to fame, during his formative years in Arkansas. During his period at the 'White House', he just continued in the same vein. He allowed the 'sub prime' mortgage situation to get totally out of hand, something with which the world is still trying to come to terms.The previous head of the Federal Reserve Bank, Alan Greenspan, created much illusion, no doubt encouraged by Clinton, in allowing the US economy to steam out of control. All this can make the boss look good, albeit for a limited period. The UK suffered the same from the illogical Gordon Brown, who, along with Tony Blair, had worshipped at the court of the Clintons. An abiding moment took place recently at a Democratic convention, the announcing of the fact that Barack Obama would run for a second term. Clinton was almost kissing Obama's shoes; far removed from the scene four years ago, when Clinton was 'bad mouthing' him, for opposing wife Hillary.

How simple and easily led people are; it is the same for much of the western world, the majority seem to be looking for something for nothing.


UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOESN'T EXIST.

THE RASH THAT IS SOCIALISM.

As the forecast for the French economy suggests a rapid deterioration following the recent Presidential Election; so New Socialist incumbent, Francois Hollande, like all left wingers, promises to soak the rich, along with a reduction to 60 years for retirement age. We have pointed out previously, that this can't possibly go down well with the Germans, whose pension age has gone the other way, giving a difference of seven years.

Well let us see what the next left winger, Barack Obama, due to go to the polls, promises, other than his considerable overspending and borrowing, which is putting the USA at a troublesome disadvantage on the 'world stage'. He is certainly pursuing a policy of hustling troops out of Afghanistan. I can understand the reason for bringing the service personnel home; nevertheless, they are being treated as political pawns. Much has been written in the press regarding Mitt Romney's comments, identifying the section of society that won't vote for his policies, wishing to stick with Obama's 'big giveaway society'. What's wrong with pointing out the truth.

Some readers may well be aware of the 'on line' piece: Bill Cosby, 'I'm 83 and I'm tired'. It may or may not be the work of Bill Cosby, but whoever is responsible, is right on the money.


TO YOU AMERICANS, AVOID A WELFARE STATE, THE COST IS ENORMOUS.

THE ONE-SIDED BBC NEWS.

Apropos our last posting, 'BARROSO AND A FORCED MARRIAGE.' I was made aware of President Barroso's plans for greater federal integration on the British Broadcasting Corporation News; giving the impression that he, Barroso, was addressing a compliant audience in the Brussels Assembly. In viewing the proceedings, I wondered what the likes of Nigel Farage, United Kingdom Independence Party member, thought of the comments, because the BBC weren't going to tell us. Fortunately, Youtube came to the rescue. It turns out that Farage was very much part of the debate, giving Barroso the 'little boy treatment' in his superb debating style. Farage doesn't suffer fools gladly, particularly the communist variety.

How is it, therefore, that a television broadcasting channel, funded by monies extorted from the public, a kind of protection racket, only gives one side of the point of the debate?


WE WOULD EXPECT BETTER FROM A TOYTOWN NEWS AGENCY.

BARROSO AND A FORCED MARRIAGE.

We can't be surprised when a communist, Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Union, wants an acceleration towards federalisation of the member states, in an endeavour to avoid the total collapse of the European project. He insists that this will bring about greater democracy providing that we do as he says.

Democracy, as we are aware, is way down the list of priorities of the unelected 'high and mighty' that dominate the corridors of Brussels. The author is sure that democracy should be to ask the electorate what their feelings are on such matters. It might also be reasonable to point out, that forced/arranged marriages are against the law in civilised countries. The superior attitude that dominates the European Commission prevents such an imposition to get in the way of their perceived progress.

The disturbing aspect of  these political manoeuvres is that they all cost money, tax payers money, some of course, more than others. The big flaw in this European folly is, and has always been the case, that most of the participating nations receive money, whereas Great Britain and a few others are obliged to contribute annual funds. Such accounting systems are always at the centre of Socialism; robbing Peter to pay Paul, naturally there are many more Pauls than Peters. The Pauls, the ones on the 'take', based upon the one-man one vote system, will always outnumber the responsible providers; therefore the whole 'house of cards' disintegrates.


THERE APPEARS TO BE NO END IN SIGHT FROM THIS SELF IMPOSED MISERY.

NOTHING CHANGES.

Following a cruise break, where we were kept up to date with the world news, via satellite TV. The same shenanigans were carrying on regarding the saving of the 'Euro'. How many attempts do these clowns require before they get the message that the currency is 'dead in the water'? Although Germany, a major loser in its demise, can't show much enthusiasm for printing more false money; after all, it has form in this area, and it isn't smart to keep repeating the same mistake to find a different answer. Einstein made the point quite clearly.

How often does the voting public of Europe consider, that most of the people making major decisions on their behalf have never had their names on a ballot slip. Why do we tolerate a 'Kremlin type' regime?


REST ASSURED, THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE SOLVED.
