  1. ONE GOOD REASON TO LEAVE THE EUROZONE GREECE BECAUSE IN DOESNT WORK FOR ALL ONLY RICH MEMBERS.

    If Greece leaves the Eurozone it can Nationalise the banks, immediately bring in its own currency and run its own affairs.

    Too stay in the EU it will loose control of running the economy which will be handed to another “Technocrat” government run from Brussels who will sell every asset in Greece to pay crooked banks.

    Leave and stand tall Greece.

    Official: Tsipras given “mental waterboarding” over reform plans

    Alexis Tsipras was given a very rough ride in his meeting with Tusk, Merkel and Hollande, our Europe editor Ian Traynor reports.

    Tsipras was told that Greece will either become an effective “ward” of the eurozone, by agreeing to immediately implement swift reforms this week.

    One official dubbed it “extensive mental waterboarding”, in an attempt to make the Greek PM fall into line.

    An unpleasant image, that highlights just how far we have now fallen from those European standards of solidarity and unity.

  2. For anyone interested, you can follow updates posted by freelance journalist Jon Stephenson at the Evening Report on the Nicky Hager case which is in court today.

    “Julian Miles is now outlining some of the lengths the police went to in making inquiries to discover Rawshark’s identity, including accessing – or attempting to access – details about Hager from TradeMe, Air New Zealand, Jetstar and Westpac, where Mr Hager’s bank accounts were held. (It has not been made clear, but there appears to be a suggestion that these inquiries were made without a warrant.)”
