It's all Greek to them



Oh my, there was a classic panel on Dateline London today!

The cast list essentially moved from the centre to the hard-left; beginning with the vaguely centrist Stephanie Baker (Bloomberg News), passing to the left-leaning Marc Roche of Le Soir and then moving on to the even-more-left-wing Portuguese writer Eunice Goes and finally to the yet-more-left-wing-still Owen Jones of The Guardian.

A classic Dateline panel indeed!

It was very lively though. When you've got Eurofanatic Marc Roche on the panel but the other guests - especially the deeply disillusioned leftists - just can't take his unconditional defence of the EU and the euro seriously, then sparks are bound to fly. And fly they did (in a good-natured way).
