Bonum Certa Men Certa

Treating the Law Like It's Merely a Recommendation That Rich and Powerful People Can Ignore Whenever It Suits Them

Summary: The constitutions of European member states -- and the Rule of Law in general -- are under unprecedented attacks; the so-called "Strike Regulations" (a misnomer; it's a lot like "salary adjustment", which in practice means taking from workers and pensioners to defraud the Office) are officially unlawful and justice will never be done about that, so crime pays off when there's diplomatic immunity

THIS is the first time we split a video into two; or rather, we record twice, piece-wise. The above is a bit of an introduction that speaks about the latest lies from Team UPC and the general assault on the Rule of Law, European constitutions, and the European economy. The focus of Team UPC has shifted to Ireland and some Irish media is totally complicit, as noted already in Daily Links.



"The focus of Team UPC has shifted to Ireland and some Irish media is totally complicit, as noted already in Daily Links."Here's the main part (below), the part about "Strike Regulations". In parts one and two about the EPO's attack on its own workers (this was done by Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos alike) we showed how it came about, but next up we'll focus on Hungary's Bendzsel and Ficsor ("Best Buddies With António").

Part 3 about Bendzsel and Ficsor will be published around midnight and some time around midday we'll do a video about that too.
