The PL gives the impression that the game is thriving in Eng yet it is full of foreign players and foreign coaches.

Heaven forbid Capitalism has to pay for itself! Of course the people are paying via taxes to prop up this nonsense. If they think that they are just going to roll back the hard won social charters and conventions of our countries they are more than deluded it's a kind of psychosis. And it won't matter how militarised the police is.

If you're just going to lend money in old school ways to faltering countries and expect it back when everybody knew from the get go (and ignored) this ponzi at some point would break down then there is a price to pay. The EU has to drop this pretence that it is a commuity if the acid test reveals it only to be vehicle doing the age old work of entrenched banking and financial interests to the destruciton of the needs of the common people who make up such a community...The first response always is to administer austerity poverty on the masses and asset capture against the long term interests of the citizens to the point that states cease to function as entities against the tides and wishes of the corporate and fianacial institutions. The Greek Govt has a mandate to fight the current EU model that only really benefits Northern Europe and the wider capital markets of the West. The dry fiscal approach that Germany wants to stick to will continue to destabalise the workings of Southern Europe unable now to compete without access to soverign mechanisms under EU law. Germany needs to wake upto the fact that although the euro gave it a massive advantage all that will be for nothing if half of Eueope leaves the monetary mechanism and the Northern banks are left holding the bill. A key moment has transpired in that a democratically elected Govt with a mandate within the EU is fighting for itself against essentially an unelected and undemocractic Soviet which is basically what the EU is. If European Banks (now holding about 3 trillion euros of private capital) are not going to step into the breech and add liquidity by lending and investing they have to be taken over. Simple as that. People starving on the streets of Europe and startling growth of a Europe wide underclass without jobs and hope is unnaceptable.

This really is the stuff of films. Some geezer nobody has heard of comes in on a massive motorbike and takes on the scum of European political class.

Germans are off their fuking heads here with this. Bunch of clueless and ensconed autocrats protecting their lifetime revolving door jobs. Varoufakes is being polite but he will kick the shit out of them if he has to...He doesn't give a fcuk. Greece is eternal.

From the Gurardian comments page...A bit of interesting detail not many are aware of: "Commentators need to put away the charts and get out the map. Greece's neighbors reads like a list of the worlds current and recent trouble spots. From the top clockwise, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Gaza, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, the gangster infested heel of Italy, Albania. Greece isn't the periphery of the EU, it's the frontier. So while Germany cannot have an army, for the sake of Europe and NATO, Greece purchased 150B+ of military weaponry during its time in the eurozone. It was the 3rd largest arms buyer in the world, a country of 11 million people. Often deals passed through Greek elites who took a billion (yes, in bribes. This was a vendor financing scam, the goods and the financing providing by corporate/banking entwinement. If you subtract 3/4s or 115B of the military weaponry purchasers from the 280B in debt Greece began with in 2009, you have a country that is doing quite fine with gov't finances. 40% tax revenue to GDP (below euro average), 28% tax evasion (evasion of very high taxes, as opposed to legal evasion elsewhere), a smaller gov't expenditure per capita than the majority of Europe (and tho gov't is inept and full of patronage hires, expenditure was still small on the social). Conclusion: the only reform Greece needs is to stop accepting bribes from German companies, bankrolled by German banks. Everyone talks about the labor market and how sclerotic it is, but no one wants to talk about workers with work without pay for weeks or months, workers doing full and overtime hours at part-time, 27% unemployment and 56% for the young creates a desperate labor pool willing to work for scraps, and the regulations are unenforced because of a barebone and inept bureaucracy. Talk to Greek business owners, and ask them about labor. I have. if they tell you they don't control labor conditions, they are absolutely lying through their teeth."
