Political thoughts and then some nice photos
Now I can share some of Neil’s wonderful photos of last weekend with you, and they will be a distraction as I am feeling a little strange today, a little political, and that’s not like me at all.
I was just browsing around for news and discovered a report on the Greek Reporter website alleging that the Greek PM is calling for everyone to strike today – to protest at the austerity measures being imposed by the country’s creditors. We’re used to strikes in Greece, they are about as common and as useful as early closing days. But hang on a minute… He’s calling for everyone to strike against austerity measures? Well, I can’t put it any better than the report put it so here is the quote: “How fitting that the people who are the backbone of the government that has imposed the harshest austerity measures so far, call on Greeks to protest against the government!” – While I stop laughing, you can see more at Greek Reporter.
And then I saw another report about Britain leaving the EU and that’s another subject where I can’t help thinking that anyone who thinks the country would be better off out of the EU is a little bit ‘Current Greek PM’, if you see what I mean. Mind you, from what I have seen of my homeland recently, there are too many people who voted for the Government now pretending that they didn’t, and everyone seems to be turning against it and yet someone is responsible for putting it there. But like I said, I’m not really political though I will vote in the referendum about leaving the EU if I can – and the last I heard I could, so I can put my vote where my mouth occasionally is. Anyway… enough of this boring stuff…
As you can see, I am not on strike today though I am writing this yesterday, though I will be writing tomorrow’s today… And so on. So, with no other great news to impart, I shall let you enjoy some more photos from the Panormitis Festival, this time courtesy of Neil. Remember that you can click a photo here and it should then open up a slideshow where you can browse through and if you want you can download the images and save them, though they are only at 1,000 px at the most and watermarked.
More photos tomorrow.
