The Truth is.

As the Greek bailout is now appearing to be a German protectionist policy things are not always how they seem. When asked an analyst suggested German companies diversify into Mediterranean tourism if Greece defaults. The reason being Greek currency will fall and create a boom in their economy; Italy, Spain and Portugal will have to follow to protect their tourism. That will leave German currency high and dry and too expensive causing their economy to stall, far better to keep them afloat and collect their interest payments for years to come. And on this theme of not as it seems who can forget Argentina’s 6:0 win over Peru in the World Cup semi-final of 1978. Well everybody who has a life, but that’s not the point. Yes those plucky Argentinean boys pulled out all the stops to pummel the Peruvian pansies knowing they must win by four clear goals to stop Brazil getting in the final. It must have been a nail biting match. Well yes for the world population minus say fifty. Apparently Argentina called in a favour from their neighbours as a quid-pro-quo for handing over a number of political dissidents. FIFA know about it but would rather let this can of worms lie in case it proved to be the tip of an iceberg. Germany’s win over the Netherlands in ’74 obviously stopped an invasion, and Spain’s win in 2010 was compensation for their poor showing in the Eurovision Song Contest. Even Uruguay, the first to win the World Cup in 1930 only won at home because nobody knew where it was and Argentina came second because they did. But the Sun on Sunday’s coming out next week and we can trust Murdock to get to the truth.
