Priorities of Brussels: Greece over Ukraine

10-07-2015 12:18

The Greek ‘No’ to international creditors made the EU face perhaps the most crucial systemic challenge in latest decades which could lead to dire consequences. Whether Brussels decides to allow Grexit or to save the situation, it will not avoid huge financial expenses. If Greece tumbles out of the Eurozone, the EU will have to patch new holes and get ready for Italy, Portugal and Spain to follow the Greek example thus provoking the collapse of entire Union. Otherwise restructuring of Greece’s debt that amounts to more than 320 million euros will surely demand dramatic efforts and enormous money.

Dzhemilev has difficulty in gathering a crowd for anti-Russian actions in Crimea

07-07-2015 12:31

For Kiev Mustafa Dzhemilev is sort of a keyman as he is the only Crimean Tatars’ ex-leader of global renown who immigrated in Ukraine just after Crimea broke away. He can easily be shown off to world community as the national hero of Crimean Tatars in exile.

Vault 404: Ukraine’s awaiting anthropogenic Apocalypse

07-07-2015 06:09

There’s again huge fire in the exclusion zone round Chernobyl NPP with the fire area covering around 130 hectares. Despite the Ukraine State Emergency Service’s reports on localization of the fire it’s become quite evident that current Ukraine is just unable to meet relevantly such challenges. First and foremost, they have failed to ensure all the necessary preventive measures.

The previous fire in the exclusion zone occurred hardly 2 months ago and it would be logical of the State Emergency Service officials to tighten their control over the dangerous area. Still we should see things as they really stay – Chernobyl is again at fire.

Ublocks: Failed Pub Singer of Huyton #antifa @graham_downes @thechikky @bluehand

06-07-2015 02:29

Twitter's most annoying racist troll @ublocks, follows the shamed tradition of far right. Whereas Adolf Hitler was a failed artist, poor Les is renowned in the run-down hostelries of Huyton as a piss-artist, relegated to touting his services via Star Now as a tupenny-hapenny ballad singer who can sing rock and roll and country and western music for a bag full of peanuts and a half of watered-down shandy. So much for the kudos of online hatemongers #bluehand, when their leading light a failed pub singer.

SPORT ARE DENTISTS - EDL IN SHEFFIELD #antifa @misscheeky666 @edlnews @slatedl

04-07-2015 17:06

The regurgitated dregs of Britain's far right "foot soldiers" slithered embarrassingly into Sheffield leaving a trail of slime, used beer cans everywhere, misspelt banners of hate and sweat-encrusted t-shirts announcing their unwelcome presence. Wasting their train fares for a mindless piss-up, the flotsam and jetsam of middle-age angst meandered aimlessly from pillar to post, chanting moronic racial epithets against people with darker skins.

Former leader of UK Greenpeace considers anti-GMO campaigning “morally unacceptable"

03-07-2015 08:00

The former leader of UK division of Greenpeace, Stephen Tindale, has recently given an interview, where he condemned anti-GMO activism of this and other green organizations as “morally unacceptable”. He suggested that such agencies put ideology before humanitarian action and fail to recognize the deep changes in GMO industry since the 1990's. Britain is traditionally an outspoken critic of GMO production and import. In the historical context of the issue, with a recent introduction of alterations in EU legislation regulating the growth of GMOs, Tindale's words are of particular importance for the British public opinion.
