Very nice summary, well written, CM. It seems you have covered it all ..

I just found this para that appeared out of nowhere (ish) confusing:

The mass privatization plan represents a major step toward giving the Polish people a direct stake in the economic future of their country. But this is not the time to stop. I believe that large, state-owned enterprises should also be placed in the hands of private owners, so that they can be operated with economic, rather than political interests in mind.… Businesses like banks, the energy sector, the state airline, the state copper producer, and the telecommunications monopoly will have to be privatized.’

For a moment I thought you were advocating privatisation. Meanwhile from the tenor of you essay, it is clear this was just a comment etc. etc.

Thanks T, yes, that para was a quote from Joe Biden at the time of NATO expansion. I can see that that's not as clear from the formatting as it was in my original draft.

Re: Working Link:

Thanks Sashimi.

Nice piece CM.

We are all in the same boat unfortunately heading towards the falls...

One thing I really don't get is the appeal of that frog faced creep Farage...he spent all his efforts on Brexit and keeping them bloody foreigners out..got his win and now we're in the stage of utterly unprecedented immigration...yet the Gammons still apparently intend to vote for him in numbers.
Maybe its like the Trump vote eternally "Making America Great Again" you have to be a true believer to get it?

"The mass privatization plan represents a major step toward giving the Polish people a direct stake in the economic future of their country..."

That's an astonishing oxymoron by Biden...to make something owned by the Polish public into something owned by private individuals...gives the Polish people "a direct stake"? No it bloody doesnt... it takes away their stake!

It's amazing they've got away with this shit for so long.

Anywise, thanks again.
