I heard it on "BBC London" as the event progressed, from Greek reporters on the phone at the event


How's that played down by the BBC then..?



W**F

"The whole of Greece is uprising against the capitalist dynasty"?


No. Its a traditional annual May Day march made somewhat more pointed by Greece's economic woes, with the usual anarchists jumping on the band-wagon and causing some mayhem.


Tragically, innocent people died.


The BBC were as ever, even handed. Its not the BBC's job to wave the red flag from the battlements.

This is the way it starts Jenny. First is a post "Just for fun" - next thing you know you will be asked to storm the gates of Downing Street, on your own, with the rest of the Brothers and Sisters sat at home, watching the TV, cheering you on, in comfort.

Er, have you been listening to any BBC radio output - especially R4 and World Service, looked at any BBC News front page or seen a BBC TV news bulletin recently? The story has been dealt with very comprehensively. As for the BBC playing it down so as not to cause a copycat reaction here, well, that's not even laughable. The coverage has included revolutionaries calling for an overthrow of the govt as well as from the rulers and from 'ordinary folk' caught up in teh middle. So, do a search and have a look at iPlayer and see what you can find.

Ugh. Yoof anarchists today - don't know anything. If you want your spray paint message to last, it's Plasti-Kote or nothing.


Next you'll be saying that Doc Martin's aren't worth the bother (or is that bovver?) and any pair of big, heavy boots are fine.


Honestly. There are rules to this anarchy thing you know.

WoD asks where did it all go wrong??


A somewhat contentious subject I know but after being conquered by the Turks the ancient Greeks were supplanted by their own slave immigrants (=slavs) who along with colonising Albanians now form the majority of the population.

Heh, heh. jenny1840 you know as much about history and philosophy as you do about politics. The word 'anarchy' is derived from a Greek word, but they didn't invent the concept.


Next you'll be telling that the ancient Greeks got together with the Romans and invented the television.

he ho hi di hi hoopla to you too , you obviously Know less than how to type wik waky pedia into your PC.


Polemics is derived from the Greek word Polemikos; a favoured debating technique practised by Greek chatterboxes in robes. Now run off and take that silly orange triangle down off your fence, or better still paint it blue. And don't ask me to explain the polemics connection to you either.

    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
