Your love hate relationship with the establishment confuses me at times Kev!
Having said that, many other things confuse me too.

 

You're confused....?  I'm confused!!  

 

Are you saying you see Varoufakis as an establishment puppet?

 

It's exactly the opposite of that which has made me quite a fan.  I'm not saying I'm aligned with his socialist ideology, but to listen to him is, in equal measure, captivating, interesting and entertaining.

 

Ok, so he was Brexit pro-remain but for the reasons he stated in Oct 15:  

 

“You have a referendum coming up. My message is simple yet rich: those of us who disdain the democratic deficit in Brussels, those of us who detest the authoritarianism of a technocracy which is incompetent and contemptuous of democracy, those of us who are most critical of Europe have a moral duty to stay in Europe, fight for it, and democratise it.”  

 

So there is much to recognise and agree with (green) and only the means by which it might be achieved (red) where I disagree with him (like he'd even know I existed!)  

 

It's possible to absolutely recognise and agree with much that is flawed within the EU.  But having tried (and failed) to reform from within (David Cameron) AND recognising and acknowledging that, IN HIS OWN WORDS (within the embedded interview), he ALSO recognises and acknowledges that EU reform from within is neither achievable nor likely nor could you ever trust what ever agreements that might be made.  

 

Great article and embedded video here:  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/24/eu-referendum-yanis-varoufakis-says-britons-should-vote-to-stay-in-union

 

He was a legend on QT and always presents at interview in a fashion that is captivating and entertaining regardless of the complexity and humourless subject.

In a separate thread - why?

 

What a laugh that could be, thread title - "I'm like {insert screen name} because..."

Getting this beast back on the road and finding that the usedgearbox/transfer box is the slicked I have ever had

and that it sits at 70 comfortably and a new pipe has made the power steering feather light!

merry Christmas to me!

Best present I got this year was having the ones that myself and my partner care about around the dinner table after a few health scares this year.
