Bugger,was lookin forward to winding down and de-stressing a bit when I get to my 60s but according to my results my bloody ticker has beaten me to it ! Better go and have a pint of slimline Guinness and a cigar to work out a plan of action.

Interesting what a taste of power can do. Kammenos is the leader of ANEL the Independant Greeks who campaigned vigorously against immigration. Wonder if he cleared his policy with Tsipras before announcing it. Thinking again Tsipras was certainly pro-immigrants and relatively pro immigration!
