Welcome to Denmark - Now hand over your cash!

Apparently, the Danish government is not at all happy with the international attention it has garnered in the wake of law that would allow the authorities to seize assets from those applying for asylum in order to pay for their stay, and this in one of the richest nations on Earth.

The Danish coalition government which includes the far right Venstre party has defended these measures saying that Danish citizens seeking help from the State are subject to the same regulations, however, as the more astute of you will have noticed, no Danes have been bombed out of their homes in Odense or have been forced to flee murderous death squads in Aarhus with just what they can carry.

Internal devaluation is just a polite way of saying screw the poor. If you think that the crisis in Greece is nothing to do with you think again.

The Greeks are fighting the first battle in war against those on lower incomes that will, sooner or later involve the rest of the Europe Union. One can only hope that these policies which promise to repeal hard won social reforms are defeated on the shores of the Aegeon.
