I'M NOT SURE THE EUROZONE WILL BREAK UP!

I've been following this debate about the Euro for well over a year now, as I am waiting to complete on a small house in Spain.  

I am no longer convinced that  the Eurozone is going to break up.  Alth ough the € has gone from £1.10 to £1.25, which is great for me, I don't think it is an economic decision any more but rather a political one.

I watched tonight a programme I had  taped where Michael Portillo goes to Greece and all parts of Germany to ask if they want to stay in the Euro and to a man and woman, they did.

When you are on the continent for any length of time your attitude to Europe and the Euro tends to change.  We in Britain have a sort of snobbish, standoffish attitude towards Europe and the Eurozone.  Now, while I am in Scotland, I don't want to see us joining, but when I am in Spain, it somehow seems ,OK.  How can that be?

ARE WE BEING LET DOWN BY OUR LEADERS IN THE WESTERN WORLD?


Western 'leaders'.  Let's have a look at them:

America-President Obama was elected by an electorate who wanted change from the fuckwit who was Bush.  Under him however, the Bush policies have been followed rigidly.  They've still got Guantanimo, shit health care, expensive military expenditure and the electorate are controlled almost as much as in Britain by 'Homeland Security'.  The politicians are all in thrall to globalist businesses who fund their campaigns.

France-Sarkozy has gone to be replaced by M. Ordinaire, Hollande.  He at least sees the need to stimulate the economy a little to get some demand going but wants to do it by dragging the French economy back to the 1970s.

Germany-The mad frau Merkel, in thrall to the bankers and anti stimulation of the economy, which appears to be the only one in Europe which is working.  The Germans always said that after losing two World Wars, they would win the third, i.e. the economic one.

Russia-Putin's grip over Russia is entering it's third five year plan.  The country is totally corrupt from top to bottom.

Spain-Rajoy holds sway over a nation where more than one in two of young people are out of work.  well when I say out of work, I mean official work, because the black economy is endemic in Spain and until he tackles that and pulls out of the EURO so that the vast housing stocks which the banks hold, can be sold off at a realistic price, Spain will never recover.

Greece and Italy-they don't have politicians in charge, but central bankers imposed by the ECB, so they don't count.

Then of course, we come to Britain.  A country presided over by two toffs who have at the very least been corrupted by the Murdochs, if it doesn't turn out to be more serious.  A country where the much heralded, anti-lobbying bill has been put on the back burner.  How many palms have been and are getting greased?  Only time MIGHT tell.  Cameron, it could be said, would be hard pushed to run a pissup in a brewery and looks to be totally out of his depth.  And the solution to Cameron?  Are we really suggesting that Boris Johnston should be the Prime Minister.  He's a halfwit!  It's even enough to make you nostalgic for Gordon Brown!

It's maybe time that we realise that our type of democracy isn't working and we have to find a better way of running our countries, because at the moment we are on a very slippery slope to financial oblivion or another world war, just to stimulate the World's economies!

Boris-front right

CAMERON IS MORE UNDEMOCRATIC TO SCOTLAND THAN MERKOZY IS TO GREECE!





THE NEW Tory leader in Scotland says she is in favour of plans for Westminster to seize control of the timing of the independence referendum.

Asked yesterday if Prime Minister David Cameron should press ahead with legislation to hold the referendum rather than wait for the SNP government to do so, she replied: “If it was required.”
The First Minister has said he intends to wait until the latter half of the current Scottish Parliament before asking Scots whether they want to leave the UK. But, in one of her first announcements as the Scottish leader, Davidson yesterday acknowledged that discussions were ongoing about forcing the referendum to be held earlier.

So there we have it then.  Despite, the SNP gaining a majority of seats in the Scottish Parliament, a victory that had been engineered by the Unionists not to be able to happen, a small minority political party in Scotland with practically no support, funded and managed from London, is going to tell the Scottish Government when they must bring forward plans for an independence referendum.

Despite the fact that it stated clearly in the SNP manifesto that they would bring forward a vote in the latter part of their Government, once the people of Scotland had a chance to assess how they had governed.  The people of Scotland voted in the SNP, based on that manifesto.  How different, is that from the Merkozy two's insistence that the Greek PM must resign before any financial help would be given?

It seems all around us, the bastions of international Governance are tightening their grasp on the democracies of the smaller countries and that is why I believe that when we do become independent, as we will, that we stay out of the EU, along the principles of Norway, the only other oil producer in Europe.  They need us more than we need them.  No point in jumping out of the pan into the fire!

THE DAY DEMOCRACY FINALLY DIED IN EUROPE


Greece was threatened with expulsion from the European Union for at least a decade if it dared to press ahead with a referendum on the single currency rescue deal.

Merkel and Sarkozy reportedly when behind the Greek PM's back to a talk to the opposition politicians.  So the Greek people, now don't have a say on how their lives are going to be shaped over the next few years.  They are going to have to give up their pensions, their employment rights and submit to EU monitoring to make sure they are committed to it.  Now, they may have had things too easy  and probably didn't qualify to be in the Eurozone in the first place, but is that the fault of the ordinary Greek in the streets?  What right do, politicians from other countries have to interfere in the political process in another sovereign state?  Is the EU, now, just a bureaucratic monster which can't be stopped?

Ha!  I hear you UKIP supporters and 'little Englanders', shout, that could never happen here in good old Blighty!  Not fucking much it couldn't!  We're told that some fruitcase, Prince Charles, is now contacted on a regular basis for permission for our democracy to enact laws.  Some moron, whose biggest wish in life was to be his wife's tampon, while he was still married to another woman.  Some halfwit, tree-hugger who will never, barring some accident, ever ascend to the throne.

Our Government is now drawing up plans to invade Iran in conjunction with the US.  Their reason, of course, for invading Iran is not that they may have a nuclear weapon, no, it's because their leader dared to threaten Israel and the Zionist hawks in the US Government, now see Iran as the last major enemy of that country which despite, the 'holocaust' being fresh in many memories, employs similar tactics against the Palestinians. Does anyone here, apart from a few politicians believe we should be invading another Arab country?  What has Iran ever done to us?  The Iranian, (Persian), people are not morons or 'towelheads'.  They are a highly educated and developed race.

Gaddafi, took Libya from being one of the worst educated and ignorant countries in Africa to one where they people had the highest standard of living in the 'dark continent'.  Oh aye, he maybe repressed a few people that weren't in his tribe but that's what happens in a tribal society.  Just wait until you see what we get there now!  Merrily, I fucking laugh!  Democracy? We're kidding ourselves on.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL TAX EVASION!

There are more Porsche Cayennes registered in Greece than taxpayers declaring an income of 50,000 euros (£43,800) or more, according to research by Professor Herakles Polemarchakis, former head of the Greek prime minister’s economic department.

Now that has to be some really good tax evasion.  It's no wonder the bastards are going bust.  Although I believe Spain and Italy are not far behind.  I remember going with a Spanish friend who ran a restaurant, 20 years ago to the Spanish cash and carry.  He gave me a trolley, he also took one and he split the purchased between the different trolleys.  When I asked him why, he told me his was the official one and mine was the 'black money' one and right enough at the till he paid his with a cheque and mine with cash.

I was reading somewhere else that workers in Italy cannot be paid off due to economic reasons and one of the Greek leaders wives, who is a teacher and retired on a full pension at 39!  Is it only the Northern Europeans who do any work?  Or are we the stupid bastards, who have no protection from our employers?  In Spain, practically everything is done on a cash basis.  I've just spent a considerable amount on building work at my new place and it was all cash to the builder and all his workers were being paid cash.  If no one pays any tax, how do they run the country.  Then again, I suppose they don't waste it on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, countries that have fuck all to do with us and where Pakistan, according to a TV programme I saw, has been working with the Taliban, big time, while receiving $billions from the Yanks.

Cash it seems, makes the world go round.  It is reckoned that by 2020, half the money in the world will be traded in 'system D', which is where everything is done in cash and no tax is paid.  Is this how we're going to finally get rid of our leeching banker scum?

BRITAIN TO STEAL BACK POWER FROM EUROPE?

Whitehall officials urgently review Britain's EU membership

Whitehall officials are urgently reviewing every aspect of Britain’s membership of the European Union to support David Cameron’s promises to bring back powers from Brussels.

The review, involving every major government department, emerged as the Prime Minister bluntly accused France and Germany of orchestrating “constant attacks” on the City of London through new EU red tape on the financial sector. 

I think there is as much chance of Britain repatriating powers from Europe as there is of me being the next Archbishop of Canterbury.  Britain's leaders have been given their orders by the PTB, to whit the meeting on the Rothschild's yacht before the election for Osborne.  The Tory MPs can bleat as much as they like, but we are not going to get any powers back from Europe, indeed the dangers are that we become a part of a second tier Europe with France and Germany leading the Euro countries into a new prosperity with the help of China.  They are itching to get their hands on some of our large companies after having taken the market for all the cheap shite.  I must have spent about £500 in our local Chinese emporium in Spain, because when you are setting up a house there are only so many things you can take from here.  Whenever a shop of any decent size shuts in Spain and from what I can see France too, it opens up a week later full of Chinese shite.  But, there is nothing you can't get there from a sink plunger to a light bulb, from stick on tattoos to a set of plates.  I tried to support the local Spanish shops, but you can't buy everything in them. 

The PTB, want to open up a global world, where companies are in control and we are inexplicably heading towards that state of affairs.  I'm only relieved that I won't be around in 30 years time to see it all unfolding.  Why then, do I want to move to Spain, I hear you ask?  Funnily enough, when you are in Spain, you feel more 'European'.  Does that sound stupid?  I don't think that The EU is right for Britain, but I believe it probably is for Spain.  Over there, they think differently  from us. They are more open to European integration.  FFS, they even talk to the French!

Britain, thanks to Blair and his cronies' ideas on immigration, have changed Britain for ever.  I'm told that London is a shitehole as are many parts of the North of England.  However, just as 200 years ago, the immigrants tend to migrate to the cities, so those of us who live in the 'country' should be safe for a few years yet, until they make money and migrate out! 


Merkel, who I always thought was a particularly ugly bastard, looking quite fetching!

IS IT JUST ME-OR IS ANYONE ELSE PISSED OFF?


It's not the easiest thing in the world running a blog, even a shite one like this.

At the moment there just seems nothing worthwhile writing about.  Oh, yes, we've got the hacking scandal, but I think everyone is bored to death with that.  Libya?  Gaddafi lives in a tent and the most sophisticated of weapons that NATO have, can't find him.  Fuck off!  Its OK bombing Gaddafi forces who are of course, of his tribe and loyal to him, but not the Muslim extremists that make up most of the rebel forces.
  

The weather?  Pish, as usual.  Scottish Parliament?  In recess.  Sport?  Football not started yet.  Celebs?  No, can't be arsed.  Greek debt crisis?  If you've got any money, get it into gold bullion that you can hold in your hand, (gone up 7% this year alone).

Me?  I'm thinking of moving to Spain on a permanent basis.  I love Scotland, but the weather is getting me down and if I don't make a move now, I'll probably regret it for the rest of my life.  

Ach well, moan over!

GREECE SAYS BORIS SHOULD MIND HIS OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!


Greek Foreign Minister, Georgios Popolopopous, last night weighed into the comments by Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.

BRITAIN STILL A SHIT PLACE TO LIVE!

How Britain compares graphic

Britain is still a shit place to live according to a new survey, ranking behind even Greece.  And  LOOK MR GRAY, Norway and Ireland, two of the countries in the 'arc of prosperity' are in the TOP FIVE!  How do you imagine that happened?  Oh yes, they're independent of Sweden and Britain, respectively!

TODAY I REVEAL THE SECRET OF MY YOUTHFUL GUB-POND'S COLD CREAM

Today, I can reveal to you the 'secret' of my YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE, Pond's Cold Cream. 
Although I admit to using BOTOX INJECTIONS in the past and that has helped with my full luscious lips and fabulously honed cheekbones, I have been using POND'S on a regular basis over the last six months.  Although I am now a man of 55, I am quite regularly taken for a YOUNGER MAN OF 53.
I believe it is also now used by some singer or other, called Kylie Minogue.
Pond's  is based on a cleanser used in Greece almost 2,000 years ago - an emulsion of water and certain fats.
It can be purchased in Boots at £3.99 for a 75ml jar or from http://www.iwanttolookasyoungasD.L.com/ for the SPECIAL PRICE £2.99 plus £19.99 p&p.

CAMERON AND MERKEL IN EURO LOVE TIFF! UP YOURS VAN ROMPUEY!


On his first foreign trip, the Prime Minister meets the German Chancellor for talks that diplomats have suggested will be “chilly or even frosty”.
Cameron will warn Merkel that he has promised Britons a referendum on a new Treaty.
Chancellor Merkel has insisted that all European countries must give up sovereignty to give the EU new economic powers to prevent another Greek and euro zone crisis.  She has previously expressed anger at Mr Cameron, before he became Britain’s leader, over his opposition to the Lisbon Treaty.

Cameron must not cede any more powers to Europe without a new treaty and a referendum.  If the referendum vote is strongly against a new treaty, then HE MUST HAVE A REFERENDUM ON OUR CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP OF THE EU!

GREEK BAILOUT TO COST BRITAIN £650M-WE DEMAND CORFU!


A GREEK GIRL SUNBATHING IN CORFU YESTERDAY

Greece was last night handed a generous national bailout by its euro partners which will end up costing British taxpayers more than £600million a year.  In a move aimed at shoring up dwindling confidence in the stricken country, the 16 euro zone members announced they would lend 30billion euros this year alone.
Germany and France agreed that Athens should receive preferential cut-price loans to stave off a financial crisis.

But another cash injection from the International Monetary Fund means Britain will have to pay part of a further £13billion bill to prop up Greece in the money markets.  Because the UK contributes 5 per cent of the IMF annual budget, this would equate to a £650million bill for the taxpayer.

If Germany and France want to bail out GREECE, then they should pay for it entirely.  The EURO EXPERIMENT was their doing entirely and BRITAIN WHICH IS NOT IN THE EUROZONE, shouldn't have to contribute towards it.  How come we contribute 5% to the IMF.  I thought we were skint!

If we have to, WE SHOULD DEMAND CORFU as retribution!

GERMANY TO PROPOSE NEW EURO TREATY-IS THIS CAMERON'S WAY OUT?


Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, has raised the prospect of new EU treaty only months after the Lisbon Treaty took force.

Mrs Merkel said that a new EU accord would be required to create a new European Monetary Fund able to bail out crisis-hit members of the euro like Greece. “We would need a treaty change,” she said.  When the Lisbon accord was proposed, European leaders said that it would be the last attempt to change the EU’s basic rules for many years.

If there is a call for a new treaty as outlined above and if and it is a big if, the Tory Party are in power, then surely Cameron must call for a referendum.  At the same time we could have a referendum on our continued membership of the EU.
In these times of austerity we cannot afford to be pouring £billions into basket case countries like Greece.  Tell the bastards to work more than their current 34 hour week and get themselves out of their own mess.  We have our mess to attend to and CAMERON must grab the bull by the horns and stop being so timid.

The Tories have been and always will be a CENTRE RIGHT PARTY.  So don't be ashamed of it, SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!  THE ELECTORATE ARE FED UP WITH THIS PILE OF PUTRID, LABOUR SHITE!

GREEK DEPUTY PM-WE'RE SKINT BECAUSE THE NAZIS TOOK OUR GOLD!

Nazi theft of Greek gold during the Second World War is to blame for the country's faltering finances, Athens claimed yesterday. It came as new protests about the economy turned violent.  Greece said the real culprit for its problems were the Nazis, whose occupation lasted from 1941 to 1945.


 Theodoros Pangalos says Germany has no right to criticise Greece over its debt crisis when it's still suffering from the Nazi occupation, while Angela Merkel has ignored appeals to help the debt-ridden nation.  'They took away the Greek gold that was at the Bank of Greece, they took away the Greek money and they never gave it back,' said Deputy prime minister Theodoros Pangalos.  'I don't say they have to give back the money necessarily but they have at least to say "thanks".'


It was the same with SCOTLAND.  Edward the first of England took our gold in 1291 and at today's values it is valued at £67 billion, which coincidentally is our share of the UK NATIONAL DEBT.  FUNNY THAT.

BRITAIN TO PAY £3.5 BILLION PER YEAR TO HELP GREEK ECONOMY!

A GREEK EURO YESTERDAY!

BRITISH taxpayers could be forced to pay up to £3.5billion a year towards bailing out the crisis-hit Greek economy, it emerged last night. 
European Union chiefs were yesterday discussing plans for all member states to contribute towards a financial rescue.  The relief package would be designed to ease Greece’s colossal debt burden and save the troubled euro single currency.  German President Angela Merkel is to press for all EU states, including Britain, to be ready to provide billions of pounds in emergency debt aid. 
A £3.5billion contribution would be equivalent to putting an extra penny on the basic rate of income tax. It could cost the average household more than £140 a year.

Was it not our staying out of the EURO which meant that we wouldn't get involved in it's workings?  What do we get in return?  A year's supply of Metaxa Brandy?  Some Ouzo?  Some Olives?  Or what about some of those little Greek Islands and we Brits could all get cheap hols.  NO?  I DIDN'T THINK SO.  TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF, WE PAY ENOUGH AS IT IS SINCE BLAIR HANDED BACK OUR REBATE!

COLLAPSE OF THE EURO IS INEVITABLE SAYS TOP FRENCH BANKER


The European single currency is facing an 'inevitable break-up' a leading French bank claimed yesterday.
Strategists at Paris-based Société Générale said that any bailout of the stricken Greek economy would only provide 'sticking plasters' to cover the deep- seated flaws in the eurozone bloc.  The stark warning came as the euro slipped further on the currency markets and dire growth figures raised the prospect of a 'double-dip' recession in the embattled zone.

Meanwhile our MAN IN THE KNOW, the Business Secretary, LORD FONDLEBUM said earlier this week, "the EURO has been a remarkable success!  It is in BRITAIN'S INTEREST to join as soon as possible".  FUCK ME, let's hope he never gets his FINGER ON THE NUCLEAR BUTTON!

Trouble is after Greece, it will be Spain, Portugal, Ireland and then they'll COME FOR US!  The only consolation is that if the EURO collapses then the whole PARASITIC MONOLITH MIGHT COME TUMBLING DOWN!
