Riots are sweeping Europe and the age of rage continues to
intensify as the financial terrorists who caused the economic
collapse now meter out the punishment for their own wrongdoing.
Britain, Italy, Russia, and Greece are all gripped with unrest as
2011 shapes up to be the year of civil disobedience.

- The fallout from last week’s violent student fees demonstrations in London
continues to reverberate as authorities prepare to introduce water cannons
as a means of forcibly subduing protesters and banning protests altogether.

- Rome has been paralyzed by the worst rioting in 30 years as
anti-Berlusconi protesters fought running street battles with
police in some of the busiest tourist areas of the Italian capital.
“Rome was defiled like it hadn’t been since 1977 during the
terrible Years of Lead,” when Italy was rocked by violent
political militancy, said the Corriere della Sera daily.

Former Greek minister attacked by mob as riots break out in Greece

Former Greek minister attacked by mob as riots break out in Greece
A former government minister was stoned by a mob in Athens s riots broke out in the Greek capital in protest at the government's austerity measures.

Kostis Hatzidakis, who is now an opposition MP, was left with blood pouring from his head after being chased and beaten by dozens of protesters.

He was set upon by up to 100 youths, who shouted "Thieves" and "Shame on you" when he emerged from the Greek parliament building on Constitution Square, in central Athens.

Protesters hurled lumps of concrete and paving stones at riot police, set fire to cars and smashed shop fronts.

The violence in Greece erupted during a general strike called by unions to protest against new labour laws which unions say will give employers too much power and take workers' rights "back to the Middle Ages."

Greece is struggling to reform its economy under conditions set by a 110 billion euro international bail-out package but many Greeks feel that they have ceded away their sovereignty to the European Union and International Monetary Fund.

The 24-hour strike, the seventh this year, also grounded flights, closed factories, disrupted hospitals and shut down trains, ferries and buses across the country.

An estimated 20,000 protesters marched on parliament. Christmas shoppers fled as rioters wearing black masks and ski goggles hurled petrol bombs wrapped in bundles of firecrackers.

A similar protest in Greece's second largest city, Thessaloniki, also turned violent.

Greece was saved from bankruptcy in May by an international rescue loan package. In return, the Socialist government led by George Papandreou slashed pensions and salaries, raised taxes and extended retirement ages.

On Tuesday, the government won a key vote in parliament on new labour reforms that include deeper pay cuts, salary caps and a reduction of unions' collective bargaining power in the private sector.

Meanwhile riot police in Turkey also clashed with students who were protesting against Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the prime minister, calling for university reform.

The violence came a day after thousands of demonstrators in Rome went on the rampage when Silvio Berlusconi, the prime minister, survived a no-confidence vote that had threatened to topple his coalition.

The ugly side of liberial western democracy.

Incumbents spent beyond their means on subsidies, lower taxes and various expansionary fiscal policy just to make their electorate happy so as to secure their next mandate. Effectively the incumbents are so blinded by their need to stay in power such that they are seeing things on a short term basis.

Couple this with the vast amount of political freedom and right vested in the people who think that it is their god given right to demand things to go their way, even if it will make the whole country bankrupt.......

Consequently, we have all these cock ups that are happening in the western hemisphere.

In a nutshell: Liberial western democracy only work well if the majority of the population ain't retards.

Reminds me of the BA strike a while back. BA staff are demanding more pay when BA wanted to slash pay coz they are freaking lossing money. How in the world are they going to pay them higher wages when the company itself is already losing money.

You bloody Char lAtan. Same as paying ministers millions of dollars when it has been proven that they can't do jack shit about the economy. They only know how to import foreigners and create extremely low value or slave jobs while prices are sky-rocketing. :oIo:

Correction: In a nutshell: Liberial western democracy only work well if the majority of the population ain't brave enough to defy their masters & manipulators... and it is also called 'plutocracy'.

Empirically, we have seen many instances of western liberial democracy almost degenerate into state of anarchy. To appease the hawkish and simpleton but relatively politically powerful crowds, the EU governments were forced to give in to silly demagogy demands just to restore order or not to harm their chances of securing the next mandate. The raging year of 2011 in EU is not the first and won't be the last simply because too much political freedom and power have been vested in mediocre minds.

If the majority of the people have retarded genes, as in the case of EU, it might be better for them to adopt a limited democracy governmental model
