Sound pretty tough

especially the 30% in wages for employees in state owned enterprises. I understand they have risen about 50% in the past ten years, and this pretty much puts them back where they were ten years ago.

I've not seen a definitive breakdown for the UK austerity measures, for comparison.

Don't hold your breath, Our lot don't have the guts to tell us what they really have planned, (for us, not themselves).

As an aside, the current video from Athens, makes the police there look like a bunch of idiots.

They seem to be wandering around, in a completely uncoordinated manner, just randomly throwing chairs and stones into the crowds.

I guess the Police don't like the thought of a 30% pay-cut either ;-)
