A Game of dominos, it Ain’t


But we all fall down
Also by tomtom

As the leaders across Europe, feel the full force of the voter’s angst and Sky News portrays it as a game of ‘Domino Toppling’. It brings to the fore, people who in better times would not stand the vaguest chance of even the slightest prod at the levers of power.

  But this is a tails you lose and a heads you don’t win game. There’s nowhere to go for these nouveau ‘Bigboys’ to go, except to the fountainhead. Mostly they’re new boys on the block when it comes to the game of politics and in Italy and Greece, these men imposed by the Frankfurt Group, have no idea what they are taking on, in engaging with the Shylocks.

  The Frankfurt group eh?  An outfit, which to all intent and purpose, sounds like a clandestine committee of Mafia ‘Godfathers’.  Could this be the grouping that dumped the UK out of the ERM back in those heady days of ‘White Wednesday’? When the UK finally clicked on to the idea that go it alone for Perfidious Albion, is the only way forward, after pursuit of the mighty Deutschemark at 3dms to the £1 sterling by Chancellor Lawson. A man now so vehemently opposed to the EU as to be a potential leader of the ‘Better off out Party’.  Of course we have no desire to have to sort out Europe’s woes by sacrificing another generation of redolent, thrusting Anglo-Saxon warriors.

  But the threat still looms as the pathetic do nothing, hapless leaders of the European Union, flail around like drowning rats in a sea of debt. Raising the threat of a new war in Europe as a way of mitigating their dread of the austerity programs, required to keep the ‘EU Gravy Train’ on the rails. By now there can be no doubts about what needs to be done, but in the face of public disapprobation, they lack the guts to do it.

  There can be no doubt that the day of reckoning for nations living the good life on ‘Chucky’ are at an end and come-uppance time is to hand. There is no lender of last resort for Europe’s Impossible Dream and the only man capable of performing this function is the last man standing, the Federal Republic of Deutschland. But as they did on ‘White Wednesday’ when they effectively ejected Perfidious Albion from the ERM, they are led by a’Deadman Walking’. A President with no power and a Board of Commissioners bereft of solutions.

Watch this space I’ll be back!

Tom.
