    Does Scioli Know The Party He Represents?

    Jaja Was just going to say that dousing himself in creosote or gravy browning wasn´t a great look. He looked like a tanned corpse. Macri who normally looks like skeletor looked positively youthful in comparison.

    Greferendum

    I have great sympathy for the youths of Greece whose lazy corrupt parents were happy to play the European system and ruin the future for their kids.

    Greferendum

    Joe try to have some sort of balanced perspective. The Greek people were more than happy to evade taxes and retire in their early 50s whilst their Northern European benefactors kept their nose to the grindstone till 67+....The creditors and the Greeks all have responsibility and leftish dogma...
