I’m very cool, Xenokratis ! I just wanted to ask you about why you were so wound up by my post/blog and to set the record straight about what I did or didn’t imply by this specific post.

I really think it is Xenokratis who should cool down. I have been reading DD for quite a while and have failed to detect anything from her that could reasonably be described as an ultranationalistic British stance. Believe you me, although I have lived in England most of my life, I am a foreigner here and am very sensitive to British arrogance. I don’t know how DD avoids the trap of always seeing things through a British lens, burt she does. She should be commended, not derided.

Cool down DD! Nobody has problems with yours or others personal opinions but only with orchestrated antiGreek onslaught and your list is not that innocent! For some of us that have spent time in your place and regularly monitoring your media or the opinion forming Institutions we see many of thee crypto or overtly racist antiGreek opinions expresses here as a piece of a greater picture.
As for the Devious ultra nationalistic British stance to ANYTHING Greek I suggest start buying British post more regularly, visit BBC a bit more regularly!
I have simply turned your tables upside down!

In absolutely no way did I suggest that the Greek justice system was inferior in this case. I wrote about child molesters/rapists in general. I did assume (wrongly) that readers would know that the prison I went to was in England not Greece. That was a mistake. Sometimes that happens when you know what you are talking about and assume others do too. Anyway, there were no comparisons made in the post between the Greek and British justice system. And there was no call for ANY leniency for this person.

This case was not about nationality. It was about a sick individual who was punished severely (as proper) for abusing a child. I think we all agree that the authorities did the right thing with this sentence.

British nationalism is what you try to refer too! These are the lot who always complain that the justice they receive abroad is ALWAYS inferior to this they expect at home! And Greece has not been the only case singled out by YOU THE British Superior humans beings but other countries too!

Greek nationalists don’t deal with reality, DD. Everything is interpreted through the lens of propaganda, which means that they cannot understand why a British person could ever accept a (fair) Greek trial.

Hmmmm. No.

So what now Brits?? Are you going to moan and complain about the Greeks Justice? Are going to stay still not complaining that the nationalistic Greeks once again did their old trick? Is your Fair Trials abroad going to make a statetement? Are you going to ask the Helsinki Office here to provide the facts of how badly Mr British has suffered at the hands of the Greek Judiciary????
