Europe simply cannot have it both ways. Either human rights really matter, or their behaviour leaves no observer any choice but to believe that money trumps people for them, no ifs or buts.

It's austerity or respecting the dignity of individuals, period.

It is a tragic shame it has come to this, but perhaps the aftermath will be better in some way, (yes my optimistic mood is showing).

You can stop right there.

Human rights is like the bunting they hang on the platform at political rallies: inessential, and finally pretty cheesy.

Yup, a garnish of parsley on a dog's dinner.
