Confusion over Hellas/Greece is perhaps understandable

Yes, but is it in the "Europeon Union"?

Maybe he regards all citizens of the EU to be peons.

I like that much more than the Downfall Hitler. I have no idea what he's talking about but his laughing sure is contagious.

I hate it, since I can understand what he says and throws me off when reading the subtitles  :lol: I guess that happened to you re: Downfall.

Zanza

If I really concentrate, I understand maybe a quarter or so of what they talk about. Something about his job or so and that he never really worked and then something about a cook and restaurant or so.

Something about only working one year in the last 45.

So, typical Spaniard.

Well they do have a 20+% unemployment rate.

Good to see the usual nuanced and proportionate approach from the British press



Meanwhile, the Daily Express takes an even more calm and measured view.



"TODAY this country faces a crisis as grave as anything since the dark days when Churchill vowed we would fight them on the beaches."

Actually seven. The area he comes from has the highest unemployment in all Spain, so it ain't that surprising.

He goes on a tirade about a semi-funny anecdote when he worked at a beach restaurant and he was ordered to wash some pans in the seawater, and the tide rose and engulfed them.

It is as if we get our papers delivered from a parallel dimension or alternative reality. Are these really the sorts of thoughts seething under the calm exteriors of our compatriots?

So they are enemies of Democracy because they assert that Parliament needs to have a say - the PM can't just act unilaterally?

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
