Who is worse, the pusher or the addict? I’d say it’s 50–50 as they sustain each other, although the addict has the moral high ground. Greece is the addict, and the pushers are German and French banks, with Brussels the overall godfather shipping the stuff in from Afghanistan. The godfather is not the cuddly type played by Brando and De Niro, but an autocoprophagous degenerate who managed a coup d’état while Europe slept and is now defending his turf with Caligulan levels of depravity.
If I could have one wish it would be to see the dregs of Europe — dwarfs such as Barroso, Draghi, Rehn, Van Rompuy and the rest of the scum — in the dock, where the Greek colonels ended up. But at least the brave Greeks who pulled the coup on 21 April 1967 had the courage to roll the tanks out and take their chances.
