Pericles

Again I thought of you !

You might be interested in listening to this pod cast between Chris Martenson and Ben Davies which reflects my whole feeling about the financial situation and philosophy towards it. It is a long one, so if you get bored I will understand if you don't want to waste your time. Ben Davies does articulate everything in a way that I would be unable to express and also make my self understood. This is why it is impossible to discuss the problem in any depth on these pages.

Hope this helps.

Farage of UKIP, snake?

>>Nigel Farage who is the British representative in the European parliament. There are several Youtube clips of him addressing the assembly...<<

Not a reliable source, I feel.

"Mr Farage's party, UKIP, campaigns for the withdrawal of Britain from the European Union. It has 13 representatives in the European parliament."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8537664.stm

The intellectual honesty of a political party that dedicates itself to Britain's withdrawal from the EU, but at the same time is happy to eat from the same money-trough, must surely be questioned.

So, perhaps a little biased, yes?

"So, perhaps a little biased, yes?"

Yes maybe. I was just amused at the forthright way he got stuck into the Europeans, sitting on their derrieres drawing fat saleried sinecures! There was an element of truth in what he was saying though.

Quite, snake.

>> I was just amused at the forthright way he got stuck into the Europeans, sitting on their derrieres drawing fat saleried sinecures!<<

All the while, sitting on his own derriere drawing a fat salary. Plus a veritable fistful of perks - travel, entertainment, staff...

"The basic salary of an MEP is already £82,915 a year, compared with £64,766 for an MP at Westminster. Euro MPs can also rake in £360,000 in expenses."

So, from one corner of his mouth he pretends to despise the entire setup, and from the other he says "yes please" to the rivers of gold that they send his way.

Principles? Absolutely none.

Credibility? Well into negative territory.

Reminds me of the classic scene in Casablanca, where police chief Renault is closing down Rick's:

"Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much."

Only obvious difference is that Farage doesn't understand the term "sotto voce".
