Its endemic,this love of the strange and hatred of your own,its a left wing thing.
The audience were whooping and hollering Yanis like it was a rally. They whooped when he declared there should be no borders,when he said you should take 3 million refugees,dear oh dear. This is a self loathing audience and a product of your education system which has taught your young to despise your history and culture. |

Wildman you cant keep saying people don't love their country just because you have a different idea of what the country should be.

You have a different idea of what our own country should be Wildman. I would never say you hate your country as I believe the opposite. Its very disrespectful for you to say people many people hate their country when they just have a different view of it.

How come they all hate religion,especially European religions yet have this love of the religion of peace.
How come they claim to be feminists yet have no problem with FGM and stoning for adultery. |

They were not applauding him because he was foreign Wildman. You can disagree with his economics but when he make "socialist" arguments which lots of people agree with in principle its no surprise he won over the audition. I think people are also sympathetic to what he fought for in his own country.

You should not use the word "all" so broadly Wildman.

The loudest applause came when he called for no borders,he despises Britain despises the nation state yet the audience loved him.

paddletoe they were whooping and applauding him like mad from his very first sentence.
One direction get less of an audience reaction. |

You've seen enough of how I view things to conclude that I don't rate him paddle. In a world of political mediocrity and often idiocy he is a man who thinks about things which is certainly a step up. I was railing against his populism and what you describe as him, putting across general points in a persuasive down to earth way. I don't need him to simplify his message.

Varoufakis knocked out the guy who thought a country works in same way as personal finance with a clean shot. That was a muddled argument that was floating around for a while, for that alone he was worth the appearance, He is mixed bag, but clearly his own man and thinks for himself.

Yanis Varoufakis is a writer a politician and a Marxist.
He certainly shot that bloke in the audience down, who was simply saying that if you are spending more than you have coming in then you have to spend less. Pity the bloke in the audience wasn't able to come back when all he had to say was - ''so what got Greece in the mire, and how do you propose getting them out of it by not cutting the spending?'' Varoufakis voted against the terms of the third bailout package for Greece, and heaven only knows the trouble they would be in now if he'd had his way. It's politicians like him that got Europe in the trouble they're in today. People like him would bring the whole house of cards down if they were given enough rope. He's a smooth talking Marxist and boy doesn't he suck the gulible in a treat. |

Spot on Dr C.
Varoufakis more or less rubbished the opening statement from the UKIP spokesperson. He hinted at an open door but on getting challenged stated we need to debate the issue better. WTMs. I found him arrogant and typical of all lefties in that he spouts what he thinks the masses want to hear. BTW how can anyone doubt the bias in the audience given their reaction to his comments. |
