Helena Handbasket

Still life with sour grapes

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime; take away his rods and nets and tell him he still owes you a fish & you can call yourself Germany.

First bailout terms were agreed between the Troika and our previous government of kleptocrats. The Greek people voted for SYRIZA in the hope that the madness would cease. Yanis Varoufakis was determined that Greece would not part with its 'crown jewels' but the Troika beat him into the dust and now fourteen Greek airports are operated by a private German company,

Then hundreds of thousands of refugees began washing up on Greek beaches and the Greek people did everything they could to help these people and to save their lives and the same countries that make up the Trokia told us it was our problem and no thanks, they didn't want to help out.

Now we have a childish spat. From my own perspective I just wish that Germany would learn to be a nice neighbour.
