Brussels taking credit for saving Greece with ‘EU solidarity’ is propaganda
The nation was purposefully reduced to rock bottom while their so-called Eurozone allies, such as Germany, prospered
Are EU kidding?
IT is stomach-turning to see the EU smugly congratulating itself on “European solidarity” saving Greece. What a sick joke.
The country was deliberately reduced to a smoking ruin as Germany, supposedly its Eurozone ally, prospered.
Look at Greece now as it finally emerges from eight years of monstrous bailouts it will be paying back for decades.
Savage cuts and tax rises have slashed its GDP by a quarter. A third of its ten million population are in poverty. One in five cannot afford electricity or rent.
Forty per cent of young people are jobless. Many in work earn half what they did ten years ago.
Hundreds of thousands of Greece’s brightest have fled.
The Eurozone works nicely for Germany . . . but that’s it. Thank God we never signed up to it.
As for EU “solidarity”, it’s propaganda.
Real Remainia
NOW we know why so many diehard Remainers are as crazy as flies on a window. They HAVE gone mad.
Brexit Anxiety Disorder is real, two top psychologists believe. It certainly explains the gibbering hallucinations of Andrew Adonis and his mates.
Two grievous losses tipped this complacent Remoaner elite over the edge:
The control over our national direction to which they always felt entitled. And our departure from the corrupt, bullying, protectionist EU club they bizarrely consider a beacon of liberal values.
Their latest co-ordinated ruse — backed by rich celebrities, has-been politicians and former newspapers — is to pretend a second referendum would “bring a divided Britain together”.
They are actually arguing that after two years of abusing 17.4million Leavers as thick racists, Remainers now deserve a second chance to get what they wanted. And that, whatever the result, we would all magically unite behind it.
If there’s a more laughably mad contention, we haven’t heard it.
We might once have wondered what they were smoking. But the truth is simpler: they are just genuinely barking.
Jails meltdown
WHAT has the Justice Ministry been doing while anarchy engulfed Birmingham jail?
It has known for a year the prison was dangerously understaffed. What were the MoJ officials onsite up to?
MOST READ IN OPINION
The stories now emerging are appalling. Constant violence. Lags living in terror, warders more so. A “secure” staff car park torched. Routine use of drugs and synthetic highs, brazenly dropped by drones flown in by crime gangs.
It’s not about whether prisons are run by the private or public sector. Too many of both are in a parlous state. Cuts have bitten too deeply — and the Government has just hoped for the best.
It cannot go on. These jails shame modern Britain.
