Excellent article. I can only imagine that the more severe problems in the south will work its way north in the near future. We had a couple of Italian and Spanish students working with us in the summer (one who stayed) whos home countries have even more severe employment problems. They laughed at us when we were complaining about the politicians, about the expenses the double jobbing etc. They said we were mad to even think that this wasnt going on before it all came out. Its just that we didnt think to look because everything was ok. Crooks the lot of them. If the government and local goverments put as much pride and honour into their Country, city, town, district as Gaels put into their clubs we would not be in this mess, or at least there would be something left in the cookie jar were there was no greedy hands to strip it bare.
