The unemployment rate in the eurozone continues to rise, hitting a record high. The jobless rate of the countries that use the euro rose to 10.7 per cent in January. There are now 16.9 million out of work in the countries that use the euro.
In Italy unemployment rose to 9.2 per cent, the highest since records began. Spain's unemployment rate is now 23.3 per cent.
Herman van Rompuy was 're-elected' as president of the European Council for a second two and a half year term. Well when I say re-elected, no-one else stood against him and he now continues in his job. Here is a taster of this eurocrat's acceptance speech:
'In a way my job is to be the guardian of trust: fostering mutual understanding around the table among ourselves, knowing that for us together, our duty is to preserve the trust of citizens in the union'.
'We are already harvesting the first results of our work on stabilising the eurozone'.
'We must convince people across Europe that their sacrifices were not made in vain, that they are leading to results, that the eurozone in the end comes out stronger'
'I know you all share my deep conviction that the euro and the union are irreversible projects. They support the ideals of a peaceful, prosperous and democratic continent. It is our duty to continue with this historical endeavour'.
This lot do not get it, they seem to think that if they continue to say the right thing everything will turn out all right.
Recently pictures were published from North Korea of the new president standing in front of tables of food, as if showing the world how wonderful it is in their paradise. And of course the reality is the majority of North Koreans do not have enough to eat, and it is not some paradise. The world knows it isn't true and so do the North Koreans know that we know it isn't true. But they hope the more they show these types of pictures that somehow we might actually start to believe that North Korea is a wonderful place to bring up your children. But of course we never will, because we are not stupid, well some of us aren't.
It is exactly the same with those running the EU, they think that if they keep telling us everything is going well within the euro we will actually believe it is wonderful. But of course we won't!
This lot are so far removed from reality it really is like the tzar's of Russia who lived in opulent splendour whilst the people around them were starving. I honestly find it difficult to find words to describe these people and their complete denial of what is going on around them. I look at this small snapshot of Herman's speech and realise that they are like aliens who are completely devoid of any intelligence or compassion.
Just look at the wording of his speech. He talks about trust and democracy, yet the EU first ignored the French and Dutch people when they voted against the European constitution; the Irish people when they voted against the treaty of Nice and then the Lisbon Treaty. They have forced two elected prime ministers from office and established two eurocrats in Greece and Italy.
He spoke about stabilising the eurozone; well do I need to say anything that hasn't already been said about the situation in Greece.
He spoke about the people of Europe and their sacrifices; this is spoken from the lips of the HIGHEST PAID POLITICIAN IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot truly understand this man. Those eurocrats are not losing their jobs, they are not struggling to feed themselves, they do not have to worry about whether they or their children are going to have a future, they do not have to worry about a whether they will have a pension, they do not have to worry about finding a job.
I have decided, I don't actually think Herman Van Rompuy is human, because he does not show any of the traits of a human being. I reckon he is really a robot which sits in some forgotten cupboard somewhere in Brussels and every so often the eurocrats wheel him out on a sack barrow and wind him up with a key, feed him a complete load of gibberish and then sit and watch as he regurgitates it.
Having listened to many politicians over the years I have concluded that this lot are leading us to hell in a handcart, they are driving ever quicker to economic disaster. With the EU on course to see its share of world GDP shrink to about 15 per cent by 2020, there is no chance whatsoever of this bunch of complete incompetent ostriches doing anything that resembles anything sensible ever. And if you think I am overstating this slightly, well just go and ask the people of Greece, Italy and Spain what they think. I am sure those idiots in Brussels won't.
