Forced Grexit Eurozone attempts to bully Greece into compliance have looked increasingly desperate in recent days following the country's decision to hold a referendum on whether they should accept a bailout deal offered by international creditors. The outpourings of horror expressed at the prospect of the Greek people having any say on the crippling bailout terms being imposed on them, is a corrective to all those who still see Europe as a region dedicated to progressive democracy. Meanwhile, closer to home, Michael Gove faces his first big test as justice secretary as the threat of wildcat legal strikes spreads. The co-ordinated action is unprecedented in it's scale and could bring the legal system grinding to a halt across most of the country. In the UK, as in Europe, the realities of austerity continue to cause upset and protest. |
