On a lighter note ... the Ivory Coast
The VOA tonight informs us, here, that the EU is considering sanctions against Ivory Coast politicians for ignoring election results (Africa still clings to such old-fashioned, non-EU concepts it appears).
Can it be that their country will be forced to join the Eurozone perhaps?
Silly me! That would of course only be for the benefit of these same politicians and the ruination, destitution and economic bankruptcy of their nation!
The EU has long since sacrificed the right to lecture African nations on democracy, even before this weekend's acknowledgement by Mme Christine Lagarde, France's Finanance Minister, that it had broken all its own rules and the Lisbon Treaty in the vain attempt to save the euro!
