Austerity
is declared non grata by the people. United in Diversity is
now United in Protest. Europe has had enough of Brussels, its
incompetence, its greed. Taboos are being smashed at the doors of
Commission H.Q. on the Rue Archimede as protests stretch across 23
countries
From
Madrid to Athens, Paris to Rome, Europeans are coming together.
Swaths of society are no longer willing to lay down before the beast
of burden.
Is
it too soon to proclaim the Commission “Enemy of the People.”
Their
crisis performance is dismal, inexperienced and most alarmingly
devoid of any real responsibility for their failing actions. They
simply are looking after jack and play the same old trick. Not me,
didn't do it, wasn't there.

Again
for the 18th year in a row, auditors failed to sign off
the EU budget. This year it was 112 billion Euros. “E.U. Financial
management is not yet up to standard,” the auditors bemoaned.
Elected
and democratic officials are alarmed at the growing sums of
unaccountable funds from the E.U publicly funded purse. Brussels
style is showing disrespect towards their fellow citizens. Yet for
these people life's pretty honky dory down on Eurocracy Road. And
what's more, the unemployed, the impoverished, the humiliated see
this comfortable lifestyle and are not impressed.
Twenty
three thousand staff support 27 commissioners in Brussels of whom
hardly one commissioner is known to the average citizen in the union.
But what citizens now know, is where to find the policy makers who
introduced pain and wrecked people's dreams in order to save private
banks.
Predictions
are claiming austerity has hardly arrived in Europe and that it will
be around for several years. It is a massive gamble to assume the
outcome will be a forgiving Europe huddling together as one happy
Superstate.
