Updated 3rd September 2015 – Among the results of the civil war following the fall of colonel Gaddafi in Libya has been mass migration across the meditterranean into southern Europe. The flows of people are large and constant and have been fed from sub-saharan Africa and the chaos resulting from the post-coalition invasion of Iraq and the associated collapse of Syria.

One of the most popular ways for national governments to deal with the massive debts left to them by the work of the financial industry is devaluing the national currency.

The last four paragraphs, looking to blame and the future, ring particularly true to me at the time of typing.

The UK’s coalition government is 282 days old today. Thisismoney has a report on this week’s unemployment figures and today the government will publish its proposals for welfare reform.

I think the parallels drawn above in the cartoon are going to become more acute as the three-year prime ministership of David Cameron begins.
