indeed Germany has been undergoing a huge nationalization process over the last 5 to 10 years bring much of it’s infrastructure back into the public sphere. One wonders why they think Greece will do better out of a system they are actively abandoning. Of course the simple answer is that what is going on in Greece has little to do with what would help solve the financial crisis. I predict that if this continues it will be the death knell for both the euro and the wider European project which I think is a great shame as it has so much potential.

In his world, people should lend money for free. Collection of debts is wrong.

Muppetry.

Interesting that the French and German States keep their assets public.

The British pro-EU Lib/Lab/Con establishment just stood by and said nothing.

The reason of course is it isn’t logical it’s really all about ensuring predominantly French and German banks get their money back and allowing corporate interests to profiteer at the expense of the people of a country.
