Greek Exodus

Yes the Greeks are making a big exodus, but not from the EU , they are planning to leave Greece.

Following the “strange” acceptance of austerity by the Greek Government of exactly the opposite of what the Greek people voted for, following pressure from Germany, Greece has now asks the IMF for more loans.


This is similar to a person in the UK working part time on minimum earnings trying to pay the monthly installments on his £500,000 mortgage.

Its only a matter of time before the bailiffs come knocking and the crying starts.

What is it with Europe ? The Greeks held a democratic vote which was totally ignored by the Germans , where any threats made to Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras? as they will leak out in time.


On a similar note why has David Cameron gone very quiet with his whistle stop tour of Europe to renegotiate Britain's EU contract, has he been ordered to shut up and go home ?

Meanwhile the latest reports from Greece highlight there has been a 58% rise in inquires to come to the UK

Tory Spy Laws are Illegal


We have Conservative MP David Davis and Labour MP Tom Watson to thank for campaigning against the Governments new spy laws

They argued that the new Conservative law did not have the correct safeguard to protect your personal confidentiality when allowing the police and security services to "spy on citizens" and the high court agreed.and said what the Government wanted to do was unlawful.

We owe these two a big thank you, its so convenient to ignore civil liberty's when you say your fighting terrorism
I now await this bill to return back to the house as the government is appealing the discussion.
Its simple you see,  they want to spy on you

Leaked IMF report on Greece















Someone who likes other people to know the truth as leaked a IMF report stating the EU bail out for Greece is a joke.
Osborne is expected to pay out £1Billion to help the EU pay for the Euro's damage to Greece
Mr Cameron has said he will not pay it .

but there is worse still
Under the terms “agreed “Greek public debt will rise to 200pc of GDP and will end in financial collapse, with the Greek economy continuing to deteriorate.

The EU finance ministers knew of this IMF report and chose to ignore it, the Greek Minister is already under pressure at home lets see if he gets this damaging Austerity package through his parliament


Blogger said , I'll give it 2 years before the crying starts


Mean while George Osborne has been telling porkies by saying the British debt is coming down

IT IS NOT  our borrowings might going down be but the British debt is still rising

Greece Votes 'No'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


The Greek people have spoken and a massive 61% rejected EU demands for further austerity. this result now puts the European project in a tail spin and must put fear up every EU sympathising British political leader.

Some people are saying that today the Greek folk speak for all who consider the EU corrupt,.in major towns and cities there are massive street parties with crowds singing "we are free". "we are free".
Strangely the Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras said the referendum does not necessarily mean Athens will leave the Eurozone.

This result now puts our own prime minister David Cameron in a very tricky predicament, following what amounts to the threats and bullying directed at Greece from its EU masters and that he has committed us to a in-out vote, we must all stand by for similar threats from the Europeans all after our tax money

The main thing will be the reaction of Germany to this no vote, will it continue its fiscal stance of forcing austerity and risk Greece totally leaving the union or will if make amends on Greece's debt, after all 50 odd years ago a war damaged country called Germany had its massive debt cancelled by Greece .

Greece defaults
















This is a real avoidable Greek tragedy, and similar to money lending scams outlawed in most countries .
How on earth did a country borrow so much money, that towards the end it was even borrowing money to pay its debt payments. Yes, Greece is now "in arrears” with its payments and in true idiot style the IMF now charge interest on the none payment making the debt worse.

The sly culprit is of course Europe it self

The whole ethos of the Euro monetary system was to get the economies of the Europe to converge into one political state, but in effect with economies running at different speeds the Euro has forced the countries further apart than ever before and some to the brink of collapse

Smaller countries with semi agricultural economies cannot keep up with the German industrial powerhouse , Germany wont give away its money to balance the other economies, it lends it at a cost and that cost is big, the only way the Euro will succeed is if the strongest economy controls the lot, for many a step to far

It would be like the UK lending money to Scotland or Wales then asking them to pay it back?

Strange thing is even when Mr Cameron says the UK is doing well, he forgets to tell you all our former commonwealth countries are doing better than the UK (OUTSIDE THE EU) in free trade zone.

Canada and Australia are almost running a surplus economy, something the UK has not done for years and is becoming even more doubtful with the news that borrowing under the Conservatives continues to raise our debt

Just how much of the UK's borrowing goes to pay our EU membership fee?


The main heartening bit of good news to come out of this is its taken a left wing Government to work to the will of the people and Greece is holding a referendum on the EU this weekend , the more astute will wonder why it takes Britain another 2 years, but I'll leave that for another day.

One thing of note was the queues of OAP 's trying to get money out of closed banks to buy food, If other EU countries can watch idly by while Greek OAP's go hungry inside the EU, it proves perfectly the EU puts political ambition ahead of its people and is not the club our UK should be in

We wish the Greek people well and we wait to see if  Mr Cameron sends in humanitarian aid to help to Greece ?
