This is spreading, there are greek middle class families abadoning children and elderly on the streets cos they can no longer feed them, All the various govts can do is put a sticking plaster over the wound and when that fails order the military to take control of the streets.

Keep your eyes open, we seem isolated from much that's happening at the moment and I don't know whether that's because we in the u.k. will and are weathering the storm better than elsewhere or whether the governments hanging on by the skin of its teeth and when the the balloon goes up here it'll be like the proverbial lead one and we'll go down very fast indeed. I cant say I've seen too many signs that make me want to "rush to the hills" just yet but who knows whats around the corner...

The guy who wrote the original article (Fernando Aguirre) now lives in the UK (here in NI), having rejected the idea of escaping to Spain from Argentina on the very basis that he knew this was coming to Spain. Of course, he knows the UK isn't in great shape either but unlike southern European states, it has its own currency and it has a culture of work ethic, both of which are small but not insignificant advantages.

My mate Taj and his friends used to do this when they were "river gypsies"

15 blokes would storm the local co-op, grab whatever they wanted then run off. The security guard did nothing - he doesn't want to get a kicking, especially on basic minimum wage. They'd do this every fortnight pretty much. Didn't get caught once.
