Yeah, old story. Les Front nationalois thinks thus: Something happened ? Let's close down Hassan-Hassan's shop in the main street, the one who sells the pistachio nuts. Let's also close down mme Natalie's Leblank-Chateaurouge, who is not even remotely connected with islam but it's a good time to get that b*tch too !

Maybe I 'm ignorant but is this system of trying to break a packed defense with small passes in their semicircle any good ? Invariably the ball is lost and there is no effort at goal.

Yeah, like if we date with 20 debutants. The first has a limp, the second is a dwarf, the third weighs 200 kilos, ... the twentieth is pronounced dead on arrival.

It is a possibility Conte wants to see who are the idiots in this team and start by giving them a kick in the a** one by one.

finalmente due a zero.

The Austrians knew how to play football before the wars, or so we thought. But what is Chelsea's line up exactly ? I 'm watching from bet365 site without commentator.

I don't see why it I don't see why it will strengthen the anti-europeans when it was not europeans who did this, but it may.

Why not ? We need substitute colours only in some matches. Against Everton-Leicester obviously, maybe West Ham. What's wrong with the yellow kit of 2014-15 ? This one is from Sing-Sing.

For heavens sake. We are the blues. BLuuuues. That thing is a prison outfit !

The objective is to make the Tories into super-brexit party, incorporating Nigel's forces. Nigel himself decided to ascend to the heavens. The Ukipees as such carry on, to fish into the Labour waters now. Cameron will become freeman of Yeovil town. Boris takes wooden spoon.

Come on, the church is the benevolent institution. Some fuddy-daddyism exists, ok. I remember in 1967 of all kinds of thigs that could happen a Scottish vicar came to our shool and told us not to go to the Stones recital, because "it is a sin". How did a Scottish vicar found his way into a Greek school in a suburb was never explained to me. We went of course to the Stones and next to the Hilton hotel to take autographs. Keith Richard I remember was kind, Jagger passed us by in a hurry. But if you look at it objectively it is the enemies of the church who are all criminals of one type or another.

The red-pink godless dictatorships proved far more repressive than Spanish inquisition. Anyway one of my two grand fathers was a priest and he died of pneumonia after a hunting expedition - no penicilline those days. One of my fore-fore-fore ancestors who lived in the early 19th century was the bishop of Crete. I don't think they were into the "opiation of the masses" all that much. They were teaching the children in schools and providing for the poor.

7 days till the blues start marching again. Let's hope last year's creepies and crawlies are gone.

Religion is the least guilty party in all this. Maybe there are some exceptions but it's a gross exaggeration. In Greece for example in 1967 when a dictatorship was declared the situation in the clergy was as follows. The junta makes the archbishop Chrysanthus resign. They replace him with Jeronymus, who was juntist (but later he too is said to have turned against them). Meanwhile the patriarch of Constantinople Atinagora was dead against them and he made many broadcasts in European radio stations. So you can't really say religious men side with repression. But in 1941 also the old archbishop Damascenus despite his old political games, went to the Germans and he said to them "if you want to arrest the Jews, first you have to arrest me". It's an exaggeration to blame religion.

Look the reds of Greece after Brexit say "wow, yippeeee, now we can get back our tin cans and slaughter all the middle classes". It's sickening. Will they succeed ? I don't know, maybe. It's a parallel story, bad cops, terror movement emerges (new terror movement !).

Black Power is an old movement of basically communist ideology. They brainwashed somebody to do that. Their purpose is on the one hand to aid and abet the extreme right (to create a growing instability) and on the other hand to radicalise the black population, like Middle East. In Greece we 've seen the movie since 1945 without interruption. You can't say "but the police ..." or offer any such explanations. Fact is the police brutality -of the whatever extent- is their excuse to start it.

About the Chilcot report, I was saying exactly the same things back in 2003 to the Americans: - Try to handle Saddam without war. - The wmd issue was resolved by the UN one year before. - You got no peace plan. At first I argued against the case of some "pacifists" in those forums who did not want any action against Saddam, but then I became worried because the Bush-Blair approach of the situation was dangerous. The Americans were making some silly comparisons with Japan in 1945 and Mc Arthur. They became mad at me ! Some Brit right wingers who were writing in the same boards did not say anything (maybe they mumbled something about "Brexit"). With some others who were saying "this will be a prolonged war" I also disagreed - but again emphasized that there was no plan for after the war, only wishful thinking. In the end the American Bush-crowd noticing I am Greek they said "we recognized Skopje as Macedonia ! that 'll tech you to say naughty things about our George Bush" !

It's simple re. right wing, like Columbus's egg. The post-war right wingers were preoccupied with the cold war. From 1945 to 1990 to be exact. So the nations of the "free world" had to cooperate with one another. The "free world" was free by poetic license, but anyway. At least you were n't seeing the Englishman going for the Frenchman's throat and so on and vica versa. Give it a cooling off period then from 1990 to 2005 or thereabouts - as things can't change overnight. But the next phase, with the bear gone, is for them to return to their old cannibalistic ways.

For the Trump supporters there is the former Fox Greek superchick Andrea Tantaros: Unhappily because she supports Trump the Fox News sacked her.

Racism is a habit of the old empires. It is prevalent among the fanatical islamists too, who were also imperialist before WWI - the Ottoman empire. They hate everyone. EU is 65 years old now and in the beginning people had no idea this kind of thing survived. We thought it was dead and buried in the bunker of Berlin. But gradually we got to know. The reason there are european immigrants is that once upon a time the European countries were friendly with one another. Another reason is there were repressive regimes that make people leave their countries (communist and others). But the atmosphere was one of freedom all over western Europe, with possible aberrations in the Iberic peninsula and Greece, We knew that the right wing parties were overdoing it with anti-communism. They could accuse one of being communist sympathiser and there was no internet those days to publicise and expose the liars (if you were a common citizen as opposed to a public figure who could respond through the press). But this kind of thing -race hate- was unknown before the mid seventies. I had discussions with officers of the military second bureau in 1981. I spoke to them about the rise of the Lepen pary in France. They said to me "not this communist claptrap, not in a million years, it's utter rubbish, it's crazy". I told them it's not utter rubbish and those folks represent a danger for Europe and they are a danger to our security, because first and foremost the communist propaganda was going to make a hot meal out of it. It did n't happen straight away but in the end it happened, the way I said it would. So it's a nightmarish prospect. The Brexit campaign was 101% an anti-immigrant campaign, targeting Europeans this time !

That one is a heavy drinker. It looks to me that in the old "central powers" the right wingers look forward to a dictatorial-racist Europe rather than a non-Europe. I have already explained the ways in which the anti-european mind works. There is also the Austrian action replay. Those who will never quit are imho the French, not counting mme Lepen's party. In Greece and Spain it is mainly the leftists who make noises, but they have n't come down strongly in favour of the "Brexit". Not yet at any rate. You can kiss democracy goodbye too and freedom of speech if they have their way.

Europe's traditional enemy is international communism. They were the world's strongest military block until the downfall, now they maintain a presence of around 5%, on the average (in the form of orthodox communism). So international communism can be described as a small power block. The other enemy is the neonazis who are also active, from 1/1/1946 in fact to this day. Neonazis were a minute quantity, about 1%. In UK and France they were about 15% having the form of "Powellite" movements (plus the 1% of "originalistas"). Their ranks have been swelled because: a - the threat of communism in the shape of USSR is gone, so the right wingers don't have to worry about what happens to NATO b - 1/2 of the big capital want closed markets - monopolies rather than open markets The neonazis are far more dangerous than the anti-communist dictatorships of old, the Greek and the Iberic. Anything else you hear is "excuses in sin" more or less. One of the biggest lies of the anti-europe campaign is the so called "Brussels dictatorship". But it is the governments who make the decisions ! We don't even have a "Brussels government", good, bad, dictatorial or otherwise and the so called euro-supremos are persons who act on behalf of the governments. The anti-european could say "I 'd like an EU but only if my country dictates all the others", or complain that "my country is too weak and cannot influence decisions". The last is obviously true for Malta-Greece-Portugal but not for the UK. So the campaign is sort of an obvious lie in that respect.
