Greeks Protesting Pictures

Guardian Live: Has pictures from the violence in Greece today, the Greek Police used teargas to move the violent protesters away from the Greek Parliament. One could argue that the Greek Police are being heavy handed, but their colleagues have been injured, thus you cant not expect them to gentle and nice with violent protesters. One piece of advice to Police, don’t rough up the press, they don’t like it, also you lose the argument. But on the other hand good work Greek Police.

The People vs. the Greek Parliament

Telegraph: Reports that twenty thousand protesters have turned up outside the Greek Parliament to protest the austerity package of the Greek Parliament. Through peaceful protest the Greek people can save Greece and tell the Germans and French bankers to jump off a cliff. The Greek Unions should bring Greece to a halt, nothing should move, all public and private sectors should go on strike, make any bill passed by the Greek Parliament worthless, if it can not be enforced then it does not count, this is time for Greece to stand up for Greece and tell the foreign banks to go to hell, the birth place of democracy should not be sold on the cheap for the benefit of the EU.

Riots in Greece = Austerity Package

BBC News: Reports that the general strike in Greece has turned violent outside the Greek Parliament. Well folks this called for peaceful protests not for violent thugs to cause havoc, time for the Greek security forces to come down hard on those that break the law, arrest the leaders of these protests if it stops the violence, if need be read the riot act to the people, and get those that are breaking the law in jail. There is peaceful protest to safeguard the future of Greece and then there is violence, this blog has not time for those that break the law, Police come down hard in Athens.

General Strike in Greece

BBC News: Reports that a 48 hour General Strike has started in Greece. The aim of the strike is to prevent the austerity package of the Greek Government. If your Greek you should be out peaceful protesting the austerity package of the Greek Government, the economic package of the Government is not about saving Greece its about saving the banks of Germany and France. The Unions should bring Greece to its knees, force the Greek Government out of the Euro, and save Greece for future generations, otherwise Greece will be pawned to save others, while the Greek people are flushed down the toilet by their own Government.

Obama and 2012

RCP: Reports on its latest average of the polls for the job performance of President Obama, the latest snapshot has Obama on 47.6% Approval and 47.1% Disapproval. It is now late June 2011, so POTUS has some time before he really has to worry about the polls, but with the withdrawal statement on Afghanistan from Obama and the release of oil from the strategic reserve the Oval would have expect a bounce in the polls, nothing so far, in fact the Oval has gone down of late in the Gallup and Rasmussen Report Poll, thus Obama needs the economy to turn around and fast by the end of 2011, if not Obama will be charismatic Jimmy Carter, a one term President.

Torchwood = News Season in the UK

The Doctor Who News Page: Reports that the new season of Torchwood: Miracle Day will start on July 14th at 9.pm on BBC 1. Well folks its fantastic, Captain Jack is back, lets see what the immortal Jack gets up to this season, more adventure, more fun, more relationships, clue as to how he gets that big head aka The Face of ( Spoiler ). The good Captain is one of my favourites from Dr Who and of course his own show, have missed Torchwood.
