This Is My Greatest Worry As We Head Into 2013 - Nigel Farage

“Greece is facing a heating oil crisis.  With an economy that has contracted for 5 years and an unemployment rate at a record 25%, residents in Northern Greece can’t heat their homes.  Kastoria hasn’t received funds from the central government to warm schools, and the mayor said he will close all 53 of them rather than let the children freeze.  At a Kastoria senior center several dozen gray haired men play cards.  Among them is Kostas Tsitskos, who said the suffering he sees now reminds him of the devastation caused by the German occupation in World War II.  “People were looking in the garbage for food then and they are now.  In World War II, people were selling furniture for food. If the situation continues now, we will be selling our furniture.”
