Greece: Getting Dangerous
Sunday, May 31st, 2015Cash is now flowing from Greek banks at accelerated volumes, reducing accumulated deposits to the lowest for ten years. The country is due to pay money to the IMF on June 5th. It is unclear that it has the liquidity to do so. Christine Lagarde, IMF chief, is now saying a Greek euro exit ‘is a possibility’. If it happens Euroland will have to take responsibility for handling the whole crisis in an unrealistic way. It will have to make a much better fist of dealing with the consequences.

Sunday, May 31st, 2015Russia’s Diplomacy Retaliates.
Sunday, May 31st, 2015Russia has remained pretty quiet about western sanctions and travel bans and has appeared to busy itself within the turmoil of Ukraine’s eastern provinces. Now this blog detects a more assertive approach emerging. This is not by chance; it follows careful building of a supporting constituency.
Within the last several days we have seen popular votes put Russia second in the Eurovision song contest with the UK, Germany and France all near the bottom; Putin siding with Africa and Asia in defence of Sepp Blatter who was then re-elected, and now a list of people on a travel blacklist who will not be able to enter Russia. This latter move has angered Europeans. The current generation of political leaders has no experience of being on the receiving end of such restrictions.
This blog can only observe that they started the process. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

FIFA: Prince William Speaks Out
Sunday, May 31st, 2015The intervention in the FIFA scandal by the Duke of Cambridge yesterday is more interesting for the fact that he spoke than it is about what he said. There is a needless convention in the UK that the monarch cannot have an opinion on current issues, which derives from traditional tensions between parliament and crown which have nothing to do with the interests of ordinary people. This blog has always been of the view that whilst the monarch must not speak on party issues, those of general concern should be open to comment. This is now more the case as the monarchy has deftly moved from an institution connected to the aristocracy and its interests, to one which champions the rights and freedoms of the people, so often now exploited by devious politicians of doubtful ability.
The Queen herself has been punctilious at maintaining almost total public silence, softened by an occasional leak to ensure that her views are known, as in the Scottish referendum or the banking crisis. Prince Charles is much more outspoken and is likely to remain so when he is King. It looks as though his eldest son is intending to follow in his footsteps. That is a very good thing.

An English village slumbers on the Surrey/Sussex borders, but the pastoral exterior hides a number of nightmare secrets. The return of a young man, Philip, after a long absence stirs memories of the horrific murder of his mother and uncle years earlier and of an ancient curse delivered upon the family in Napoleonic times. The villagers’ unease grows as Philip embarks upon an affair with the local farmer’s daughter, and a series of mysterious deaths seem to follow in his wake. Soon their anxiety turns to fear as they feel evil in their midst. Could Philip be in league with the Devil? Set in the 1920s and full of authentic period detail, this is a tale which will haunt readers long after the last page has been turned.
