So many cliches come to mind here. I feel for the people though. One helluva fight they're putting up for things we take for granted here. Gonna be an extra bit grateful for our debt-ridden, tyrannized, immoral...
You might have heard that there have been riots in the UK for the past few days. The first 3 days have been met by a surprisingly soft approach by the police. They were ordered to stand by and watch as looters burned the city. Now, as disarmed shopkeepers and residents are crying for help...
The Brits are demanding a Police State instead of demanding a change in their gun control laws. Riots in London have left shopkeepers and residents defenseless against invaders. They accuse the police of inaction... but very soon they will be getting more police action than they can imagine...
The U.S. Army (aka World Police) will now disperse crowds using rapid-firing rubber bullets. Why is it their job to disperse crowds? Whose protests are we going to be suppressing? Time will tell.

The governor of Wisconsin is suggesting that he may have to call out the National Guard to quell the rioters. I don't know how closely all of you are following what is going on in Wisconsin but according the the article the people involved are union "thugs" some of which have been bused in from...

German people are not taking kindly to becoming a dumping site for nuclear waste from other countries. 30,000 Germans sat on the rails as a "train of death" carrying 135 tonnes of nuclear waste headed from France to Germany by train. Germans already have a hatred for nuclear power, and are...
7 killed and 288 wounded over a 30 per cent rise in bread prices. Mozambique must be a lovely country to live/work in. And all because Russia is extended its ban on wheat exports. They must be stocking up on their wheat.
May you live in interesting times.

Alot of this sounds like spin to be honest.
However, Im curious if Greece is experiences this has an influx of Asylum seekers call Greece home; Doubtful?
I cant say I dont feel for the Greeks, though.
However, why is this media calling them Bolsheviks? or even comparing? As America is...
Not really sure if this belongs here, or in disaster and preparedness. Reckon if it needs moved, it will be.
