July 8: Greek people are taking democratic stand against the EU

From: Dick Lindley, Altofts, Normanton, West Yorkshire.

DEMOCRACY has spoken with a clear and overwhelming voice and the brave Greek people have rejected the savage demands made by unelected bureaucrats, who run this disastrous mess we call the EU and their leader Mrs Merkel.

We all know that this tragedy is the result of previous Greek government incompetence, but to punish the present democratically-elected Greek government and its people for past mistakes is outrageous. These past mistakes of which I write, were compounded by the IMF and the ECB, both of whom knowingly continued to finance the failing Greek economy without regard for how those loans should or could possibly be repaid.

The only good thing to come out of this whole sad affair is, that now at least, British Europhiles must finally realise that the EU and its organisations are anti-democratic institutions seeking total control over the whole of Europe, in ways that are reminiscent of the dictatorships in the 1930s, but this time they are using their economic rather than their military might.

It is rather ironic and poignant that this should be happening to Greece, the birthplace of democracy.

Now seems like a good time for the UK to depart this vale of tears and take control of our own country again, before we also get clobbered by the bully boys in the EU.
