I was at a very special party to celebrate a very special occasion for a member of my family on Friday night. The venue was in Southgate where a large proportion of the Greek community live.
I was pleased to see and hear from many of the young Greeks who were attending the event that the bad press and negative publicity dished out by the press here and in other countries of Europe would not put them off working towards helping Hellas move out of this bad but temporary crisis. It was good to see 3rd generation Brits of Greek origin be so determined and resolute about what to do. The challenge to Hellenism is a challenge that many of us are determined and capable of fighting off, but those back home need to also do more to put that house in order!
The one thing that impressed me was ow many of these young people were talking about the problem with bad politicians and the lack of a charismatic leader that will take us through this and other problems. That is, apparently, the solution. But where is this leader and where shall we find her or him? Are they amongst us? If they are they would have to sacrifice their own lives for the good of the country and right now I don't see anyone who fits that prescription..
