I said stop doing that! Yes I have to agree.

However, even though the "Waily Fail" does tend to exagerate & slant the stories to their views, the fact remains that these events are occurring & to make matters worse.....

...Europe's food crisis

"Yves Daccord, of the charity’s International Committee, said its food distribution had not been as high since the end of the Second World War.

He added: ‘We are now seeing for the first time that the Red Cross in several European countries need to focus on the poor in their own country, much more than on external missions outside Europe.

'We are giving out more food in Europe than at any time since the end of WW2.'"


Another wake up call, or is the Red Cross exagerating?

Edit: One thing we can be sure of....

There'll never be a "Brussels or indeed another Berlin Air-Lift"!

Edit 2: Hmmmn, most thought that it would be one of the PIIGS being the cause of the EU breaking up by their exit......

Euro MP's reject budget cuts

Best comment I've seen yet on politics......

"It seems the Tories are the Titanic and the Libdems the iceberg. Its only matter of time."

---

But yesterday, the European parliament in Strasbourg passed a wrecking resolution was passed by 506 to 161 - including 12 Lib Dems.

Hardly an iceberg, more a ice cube.

You call wasting taxpayers money an ice cube? Typical retort from a politico!

It meant that it has to be thrashed out again in May/June, another little jolly ice cube to pop into their G & T's!

I also stated a comment, nowhere did I say it was mine!

Well exactly, all your posts are usually quoting other peoples views. The day we get a home grown Sirius quote, Suidae will likely turn to aviation :-)

Then you'd better stop posting & re-read all posts for the last 5 years...again, you might just learn something!

For those of you that may agree with Sir Humphrey....

With all the austerity measures supposed to be in place within the Eurozone, unelected thieves want to increase the troughs as there is more & more snouts wishing to particpate......

...Dissention in the EU ranks?

No slanted Waily Fail here just the Baghdad Broadcasting Company at work - Frannce & UK to ignore EU rulings?

Hey del-boy, I thought the coffers were empty, just who is going to pay for those arms?

I suspect so. Brussels is calling for more integration but when you read
through their meaning of this they are clearly indicating that much of this
is to do with centralisation. Centralisation means physically taking from one
country and moving it to another "The country of centralisation". When this has
been achieved, across the board, then no one country can then leave the ECM and hope
to survive on it's own.

Eurozone & IMF agree Cyprus bailout

That's 5 bailed out, who's next & where is the money going to come from?

Shock in Cyprus

Cash Machine scramble

Very cunning timing by the EU, long weekend ahead in Cyrus as Monday is a bank holiday.

"One user called Effendi said: 'But why is a little island like Cyprus is in trouble. Loads of holidaymakers, loads of hotels, people retiring, business registrations - loads of income tax, so what has been going on for the island to get itself into trouble?'"

Well Effendi, it's like this.......There is a band of thieves who have the full backing of all the EU leaders & it's impossible to put them on a leash.....

..the bands name?

What's a little 10% haircut. After all trickle down doesn't work. Government has to spend that money to get the economy going. If the people won't spend it themselves, just take it from them and dump it into the economy. After all, all they did was speculate with that cash and dump it into Greece but they tricked the Cypriot government into saying their deposit were good. Gosh does this sound like why there are stress tests? Don't worry USA worker, it will only take ten years of your paycheck to pay off the national debt.

Shock in Cyprus

This antic being forced on Cyprus by the ECB has Argentina written all over it.
Cyprus today other struggling ECM countries tomorrow. Clearly Brussels has
a disdain for personal wealth and it's beginning to show. How long before
Brussels tax's the middle class out of existence, this was how they treated
the middle classes in Argentina and today that country is ruined.
Where the ECM is concerned I think most of us educated types can now clearly
see the wood from the trees regarding the viability of the European super state.
If not then I suggest you get your eyes seen to...you've had fair warning!!

Aljazeera is basically a news channel for the Arab world and slanted accordingly.

Fine, so just read the links in it then, or are The Economist and George Osborne also slanted Arabic?

The campaign, including a day of action on March 16, is spearheaded by /The Rules, Occupy UK, UK Uncut and the City Reform Group, and highlights systemic causes of global impoverishment. Importantly, this comes at a time when the UK Prime Minister David Cameron has explicitly denounced tax evasion after coming under intense public criticism at the revelation of massive tax avoidance of large multinational companies. In June, the UK will host the G8 summit, which Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has said he is "determined to use... to drive a serious debate on tax evasion and tax avoidance".

Good post Nick, however, its flawed.....

....shouldn't the eurocrats be destroying themselves then?

The Torch has been lit - Will this torch become more famous than the Olympic one?

Beginning to look that way......

Now that the line has been crossed.......

"Until now it was felt that however bad the crisis in the euro area became, governments would move heaven and earth to protect ordinary bank depositors.

Over the weekend that Rubicon was crossed, as policymakers imposed an immediate tax on all deposits held in Cyprus, as part of a rescue package for the island’s failing economy.

This brutal decision by euroland finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund threatened a run on the whole financial system as depositors rushed to try to get their money out.

And the reverberations could reach beyond further Cyprus to hard-pressed euroland countries including Italy and Spain."

"Archbishop Chrysostomos, the country’s religious leader and a former government supporter, was reported to have called for calm, but insisted Cypriots would never forget Europe’s behaviour. In his Sunday sermon, he thundered: ‘This is a villainy of Europeans. Cyprus must as soon as possible leave the eurozone.’"

Could this be the "Big Bang" that rocks the world?

"But economist Eamonn Fingleton said the bank raid could be ‘worse than Lehman Brothers’ – a reference to the botched response to the collapse of the US bank in 2009. They have opted for a ‘solution’ that amounts to probably ‘the single most inexplicably irresponsible decision in banking supervision in the advanced world since the 1930s’, he said. They have weakened – perhaps catastrophically – the principal pillar sustaining modern banking.

This pillar is deposit insurance. This raises questions about deposit insurance throughout the EU and invites runs on banks not only in the most financially-challenged nations such as Greece and Spain but even in Italy and France.’

Sebastien Galy, of the bank SocGen, agreed the move could be the ‘trigger’ for a new eurozone crisis: ‘It breaks a cardinal rule – namely, public trust on which money relies.’

Could this statement be the rod that breaks Merkel's back & turn Germany into an International Pariah for the 3rd time in 100 years?

"Angela Merkel insisted it was right that all depositors in Cypriot banks should share the responsibility of bailing out the state."

So Mekon, why wasn't this implemented for: - Portugal,Ireland,Italy,Greece & Spain?

No 3 looks like someone assuming that's the reason. Without any references to that statement....

As for the Russian money launderers.......

...interesting that the EU are doing this now.......

What about the Drug Cartels that invested in Europe....
