In Greece, and it looks like Italy too, elected prime ministers are being replaced by former EU bureaucrats.
I have detailed elsewhere, as have many others, how the EU, our real bosses, ignore referenda that go against them and carry on regardless.
Here we have recently been refused a referendum that gained over 100,000 signatures by a coalition government that not a single person actually voted for.
Yesterday 170 members of the English Defence League were arrested in Whitehall just in case there might be a breach of the peace. Be careful, if a copper thinks your eyes are too close together he might nick you just in case!
Meanwhile a bunch of sad old hippies seeking their five minutes of fame turn St Paul's into a squalid canvas squat and nothing is done.
Yesterday I found the following letter in the Daily Telegraph particularly poignant:
SIR – I was kettled on Wednesday. I am a pensioner. I was on my way to a charity meeting near St Paul’s when I inadvertently walked into the route of the student march.
Every side road was blocked with barriers and manned by fully dressed riot police, some wearing balaclavas. They were aggressive and intimidating. I eventually escaped the cordon with some difficulty.
I had a full career in the Army, serving all over the world, but my impression on Wednesday was that I was in one of the worst police states I had seen, with police almost daring students to take them on.
How much better it would have been to see a few friendly policemen on the route, with the riot police discreetly out of sight.
