Don’t want Corbyn to take your money? Pack your bags, Greece is desperate for more rich residents

Give me your rich, your profligate, your Davos men and women yearning to pay less tax.

The Greek Government has a new plan to boost the economy, and its bid to attract the global elite has won the most attention.

After years of recession and capital controls, which sent the wealthy scarpering, the battered nation is seeking a short-cut to prosperity.

Instead of waiting for local people and businesses to become rich over time, why not invite the world’s big spenders to move straight in?

British diplomat resigns over having to 'peddle half-truths' on Brexit

A UK diplomat in charge of Brexit at the British embassy in the US has quit.

In her resignation letter, seen by broadcaster CNN, Alexandra Hall Hall said she could no longer "peddle half-truths" on behalf of political leaders she did not "trust".

She said she has become "dismayed" by the reluctance of politicians to "honestly" address the "challenges and trade-offs" involved in leaving the EU.

In her letter, dated 3 December, she wrote: "I have been increasingly dismayed by the way in which our political leaders have tried to deliver Brexit, with reluctance to address honestly, even with our own citizens, the challenges and trade-offs which Brexit involves; the use of misleading or disingenuous arguments about the implications of the various options before us; and some behaviour towards our institutions, which, were it happening in another country, we would almost certainly as diplomats have received instructions to register our concern.

It makes our job to promote democracy and the rule of law that much harder, if we are not seen to be upholding these core values at home.

I am also at a stage in life where I would prefer to do something more rewarding with my time, than peddle half-truths on behalf of a government I do not trust."

The day before the Pearl Harbour attack, that brought America into the war!

Aye, I think Agios Nikolaos was looking out for Capes that day.

(We enjoyed our fried cod last night, albeit with chips rather than garlic sauce!)
