EU commission and Greece
Well now we know who was to blame, the EU commission has just released a report to say that Greece has not fulfilled its obligation under the Schenectady agreement, that did not finger print, and check everyone arriving into Greece, and did not police its borders correctly. If this report is accepted by the other 28 nations, Greece will be given 3 months to sort itself out, it's bloody laughable, not one finger was lifted to support Greece with this massive problem. The sooner the referendum comes the better, kt

Re: EU commission and Greece
Wasn't so long back since Germany and others were chastising Greece for being in debt and probably still is very much so, it probably doesn't have the infrastructure to comply with Mein Fuhreur. Seems Greece is going to be the chosen whipping boy for the Europeans. Maybe it is payback time for them having the audacity to stand up to the might of Germany during the last war. Hungary can now be seen to have been the only country to recognize the danger when she closed her borders for which she was also chastised by the dimwits in Brussels. If David C. is still pro EU how far can the British public expect him to carry out his long awaited promise, or is it just another fob to let him see his time out. As said in previous post about Oz and a Republic, fancy having to go through all the paraphamalia of electing some head of state as a President such as the likes of a similar person. Although not infallible the UK and its Commonwealth have a very much admired system all over the world, which is going to be threatened by the usual quick change artists. JS

Hi Keith.
It could have been a typo when they wrote up the law, they may have meant shenanigans.

Re: EU commission and Greece
And there in lies the problems of the EU, the rules change to suit the situation, the people have no say in what occurs as they elect unknown persons to the EU parliament in the hope that they will serve the people. All they serve is the trough and the people can go whistle Dixie.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: EU commission and Greece
See Denmark is going to return up to 60,000 migrants (presume to Syria or Turkey) as they have no official I.D.
They are also relieving any migrants of cash and jewellery that they have stashed on themselves, when they apply for Danish citizenship. This to pay for their social security etc.
Good on them Danes I say.
