Is it the nationalists who are pelting the women and children?

Is it the patriots peeling off those dollar bills, slappin’ ’em down?

Or is it the rentiers, protecting their own turf while buying off technocrats in Brussels who then force the weakest citizens in Greece to pay for the sins of the strongest and most privileged.

Do you think this is lost on the hoi polloi of the UK? Or Spain? Or Italy?

“Though we have to work a lot harder to spread the benefits of prosperity…”

^This line has been the staple of every hand-wringing article on the subject of inequality over the last 30 years. Meanwhile, during all this hard work, dead babies wash up on Greek shores, and men in Ireland kill themselves at 5 times the rate of women.

Do you think the deceased appreciate the Big Blue Flag waving? I certainly hope so. Wouldn’t want all that hard work to go to waste.
