Greece - how strange

[Simpo Two]

So the EU and the world is in turmoil (again) and all out pensions are heading south (again).

And what has caused this international horror? Why, because the Greek Government has decided to ask its people what they want.

Now there's a shocker. Asking the people what they want? That will never do - even democratic Britons are gagged and bound in a cupboard. But seeing as 'those who know' have managed to royally fk up things, I can't think the people could do much worse.

A few months ago at a wedding I shared a table with some European economists. The only solution in their awfully clever and very well-paid minds was to keep throwing money at Greece. End of. As the mere photographer it didn't seem my place to tell them it wasn't going to work... and that the only solution was to start dismantling the Euro and very possibly the EU as well.

Artificial come, artificial go...

Yes, I didn't mean let them run the country in populist anarchy, but give them on a say on IN vs OUT. I still have this stupid idea that politicians are supposed to represent the electorate. If they don't, why have elections?

I don't see any EU country suddenly going to war against its neighbours - do you?

So we need to find the smartalecs who let Greece in, and give them a damn good kicking for being idiots.

Or just move them sideways whilst retaining full salary and pension...
