Re: Odious debts have odious debtors (4.00 / 4)

I think actually that the problem is deeper rooted, and that there will have to be a second wave of the Icelandic revolution.

The nexus between the top echelons of business, executive and government appears to be so thoroughly incestuous and corrupt that this government will probably fall as well.

Probably it's only the Icelandic women who can be trusted to sort it out.

But the current government is supposed to be already about Icelandic women sorting it out... I don't understand...

Just a few headline appointments, I think.
