Greece: "You cannot impose economics on such a politicised people."

Below is a video blog by Paul Masson. Martin Francis the Wembley Matters blogger says that Masson can be followed on Twitter @paulmasonnews

It strikes me that in what has happened to Greece under the impact of the global financial institutions, the emphasis given to the 'sovereignty' of a currency has been designed to undermine the sovereignty of the human rights of the Greek people.

I am reminded of what Green Party MEP for London Jean Lambert has said of proposed 'harmonization of standards' under Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership. She has cited the example of chickens bread under such unhygienic conditions in the USA that their caracasses are bleached before processing for human consumption. Perhaps that is a good metaphor for what the predatory drivers of the Troica's 'bailout package' think is suitable treatment for the Greek people?

Good on the Greek people for becoming so much more politicised than chickens raised under American food standards as to say, "No!"
