Greeces radical left government on Friday carried out its first privatisation since coming into power three months ago, by selling a 20-year horseracing gambling licence to a subsidiary of Czech-Greek company Opap for 40.5 million euros.
Alexis Tsipras's government had been largely opposed to the planned sale of state assets by the previous government, and had vowed to halt such privatisations. But it came under intense pressure from cash-strapped Greeces international creditors to move forward with the sale.

I know some of you have got the bit between your teeth but I think it's time to rein it in, guys. There will be one or two who bridle at this suggestion but the mane thing is not to get on your high horse. A fetlock of good that will do if we let you have your head. If it's a question of jockeying for position lots of us will just get hacked off. Off course it's odds-on that a few hurdles will get in our way but the overriding aim is not to jump to conclusions, hedge our bets or less still to whip up a frenzy, but to keep stable, avoid a blinkered view and stay the course.
In simple terms: hold your horses!
:lol:

Stallion, folks!! Going back on their promises is par for the course with SYRIZA, and let's not look a gift horse in the mouth. The future is going to be something of a nightmare, yes a proper mare. It seems Tsipras has fallen at the first fence - his going would be good.
