Is the EU deliberately TRYING to provoke violence?
« on: March 03, 2016, 01:14:38 PM »
We all know how Greece has fared over the last few years - civil unrest, "austerity" programs, high unemployment, etc.

Now they have a "migrant" problem, with hordes of "refugees" (mostly young men of military age, from the pictures I've seen) from the Middle East and North Africa.

How is the EU "helping" Greece deal with this?

BY GIVING ENVELOPES OF CASH TO THE MIGRANTS!

I expect this is REALLY going to go over well with the cash-strapped Greek general population.   :facepalm:

Sounds like the EUrocrats are paying off those they fear most.  Maybe those already in the EU ought to learn from that.

If I was a Greek woman, I'd be very tempted to put on a burka and go get envelopes of cash.

So now the migrants have a "protection racket" going?

WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.
