When I saw this images I remembered all that Skybird have written about Germany and EU. How Greece accused Germany for not helping them and all the rest of EU that wants Germany to be the train that shall lift EU, while their just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Panorama. Just watching this on iplayer, I wondered if there was a copy on the tubes and voila, here it is:

An interesting look so far at the problems faced in Greece, and an acknowledgement that not all Greeks blame Germany for their troubles.
Also, Jon Humphrys, who is awesome.

Interesting show. There's definately something to be learned by looking at Greece.

On a side note, this comic comes to mind.

With record unemployment and a third of Greeks pushed below the poverty line, there is strong resistance to further cuts.

Quote:

Tens of thousands of people have gathered outside Greece's parliament as part of a day-long general strike to protest against new austerity measures.

The trade union-led action is the first since Greece's conservative-led coalition came to power in June.

The protest is against planned spending cuts of 11.5bn euros ($15bn; £9bn).

The savings are a pre-condition to Greece receiving its next tranche of bailout funds, without which the country could face bankruptcy in weeks.

Wednesday's strike has brought the whole country to a standstill, says the BBC's Mark Lowen in Athens, with doctors, teachers, tax workers, ferry operators and air traffic controllers all joining the protest.

It follows a series of demonstrations in Spain and Portugal, which are also facing stringent austerity measures.

That reminds me, I've not seen convoy hunter around for a while - last activity on the 19th but he's not actually posted for many months. Hope he's ok.
