Democracy in the EU is dead and gone. The EU is now run by a band of
totalitarian communist hooligans who have no respect for either sovereignty or
democracy. They are worse than the Chinese leadership who at least have some
concern for their poor destitute workers. This will end in a massive uprising,
much bloodshed and the European dream of peace in our time, left in tatters!..
The high youth unemployment and austerity measures in Southern Europe are
creating a very dangerous environment and it can only be a matter of time before
civil unrest gets out of control.why are we accepting the system that enslaves us saving itself at our
expense?...let the banks fall...wipe out all virtual debts...arrest the people who are
trying to keep this corrupt system alive and start again...with a new system NOT
based on a small group of people being able to make money out of thin air and
charging us interest on it so we can use it.. THATS a crime...obviously...its corruption and a con of the highest
order...so arrest them!!!..There seems to be an accepted view that the
juggernaut of globalisation cannot be stopped or reversed. Globalisation was an
accepted view in the 1920’s, until the bust. Globalisation was stopped in its
tracks and the opposite took its place, Nationalism.
The imposition of austerity measures in the West is demonstrating to the vast
majority that globalisation has done them no favours at all. Nationalism will
probably first raise its head in the club med countries and this will be the
beginning of the end for the latest globalisation phase.

In Greece, bribes tend to be smaller, more frequent and more open. They also tend to be divided up between teams of people rather than staying in the pocket of just one person.
In other countries, and especially Western countries, bribery tends to be on a much larger scale, extremely secretive and on a one-to-one basis.
Or bribes are seen as a perk of the job and accepted as such by the establishment.
For example, the hundreds of thousands of pounds in the bank accounts of three-times Irish Premier Bertie Ahern were large, secretive and one-to-one payments. The cash wasn't divided up.
Or in the case of British MPs and members of the House of Lords, relatively small amounts falsely claimed over long periods of time were taken for granted as perks of the job. In fact, they were nothing of the kind and constituted theft, but the establishment did not object until the brave Daily Telegraph brought attention to this chronic theft.
Members of the European Parliament also are involved in expenses theft over long periods of time but they are following the lead laid down by west European practice.
Even in business, travel and other expenses are regularly claimed at the tax payer's expense even though they are neither warranted nor legal. These expenses are then offset against profits for tax, depriving the British tax payer of badly needed relief.
How about a survey of the true extent of bribery and corruption around the world and what we actually mean by this? One thing is for certain -- Western European bribes total a heck of a lot more than Mediterranean bribes. Just look at the millions spent by the Germans to sell arms, civil engineering services and electronics. The excellent German judicial system has already unmasked many German companies that have been bribing people around the world for decades. If we look at the Swiss, the British, the French and the Italians, then the sums involved are astronomical.
Mediterranean bribes put into this context are just small fry. The big fish are in Western Europe and the United States
