An irony too far!

As we speed towards chaos and the deeply cynical and self-serving natures of those who have shaped our world for the past few decades are daily ever more horrifyingly revealed, the recording of ironies, the original purpose of these blogs, seems ever less meaningful. Yesterday, however, two news events came together, the irony of which could not be allowed to pass. The first was the emergence from the shadows of one of the sinister figures who today control the fate and the future of our once British Isles, Axel Weber, head of the Bundesbank and tipped to soon replace the Frenchman Trichet at the ECB, appeared on Bloomberg TV and other media outlets, to make clear Greece and such other suffering southern EU nations will get no aid from Germany, itself responsible for the over-valued Euro. On holocaust day the world remembered, or more accurately ignored, the 65th anniversary of the Auswitch Concentration Camp horrors having been revealed to the world. Read a typically brief BBC report here.
