Owen I want to thank you for having these panels instead of people having "debates", I am rather tired of talking heads going on the offensive trying to defend the indefensible. Ethical people are much more interesting anyway. I feel bad for you when you have to even look at things like Hen Mazzig, the evil steams off of him like just pooped dog poo.

we live in parallel universe were there are alternative truths.
The fact that Mr. Varoufakis cannot be told who in Germany made the accusation to ban him from Germany is like straight of of Kafka's "the Trial". Absolutely stunning.
Yanis is a brilliant man! He and a handful of others can help us get out of this terrible mess we are in. We should listen to him.
A progressive economist in the US says regularly, "Socialism for the rich and Capitalism for the poor". He explained the bailouts of big businesses here in the US to perfectly back up this statement. At this moment in history we are seeing clearly who is really running our governments. Not we the people they are supposed to represent, but the elite, the 1%, big business, big money and a ruling class that we aren't supposed to see or recognize for what they are or what they are doing. Donations or bribery, call it what you will, our representatives have shown themselves to be for sale and have sold us all out in the process.

Sadly it's also the kind of thinking followed by a majority these days. Learn to have an independent mind, you don't need to blindly follow like a slave, that you must adopt the whole package. It's perfectly fine to have your own mindset, whilst respecting, and recognising those you don't wholly agree with. It's perfectly fine to accept, and reject the ideas or thinking of the same person. Disagreement doesn't have to be about disrespect, similarly, agreement doesn't have to be about becoming a blind follower like a slave. Please create an open mind.

Between 2008 and 2015 in the UK, the Labour Party was blamed for causing the international credit crunch, Not sub-primes, but the British Labour Party! The disappointing thing was that Labour didn't argue against this framing. Pre-Corbyn leaders just seemed to bow their heads and accept the international crisis was all their own fault. It was absurd.
