I will tell you, if Betfair did Cypriot criminal trials I'd be a rich man by now. No convictions on the Helios case? How come I'm not surprised?
It has nothing to do with justice. It has to do with the incompetence of lawyer civil servants. 'Cause when
was the last time a General Attorney in Cyprus won a big case? You can't remember? Nothing wrong with your memory there. Of course, this degree of incompetence should have repercussions in one's career. In other places they step down or are fired. But in this pinnacle of Democracy that is this country, they hold office for life! Covered by the safety of an asylum veil. Why not prosecute this degree of incompetence that further compromises an already crippled Democracy?
Throw out the idea of illegal seizure
Put a rope around somebody's neck
Let's hold some bastard up for example
Take his blood and urine sample
Feed him garbage and make him pick up the check"
"HERE IT COMES AGAIN" (Graham Parker)
They should all be accountable. Not untouchable. Instead of covering their ass by manipulating Democracy so that the (short arm of the) law does not reach them. Each and every one of them.
And the high Priests, too. Oh, especially the priests...
What they don't tell you is that he is typical
What he stands for is totally mythical
And as they lead him away he'll pray for you brother
With a bible in one hand and playboy in the other
Imagine what he does to his mother"
"HERE IT COMES AGAIN" (Graham Parker)
Why not evolve Democracy a bit and invent a new term for civil servants who mess up big time?
Don't get upset. It's just a thought which by all means could be wrong. But think about it. We could
name it Criminal Incompetence. Really, chew some mushrooms and look at the bigger picture.
But I guess, Criminal Incompetence suspects will hire big time lawyers and beat the rap...

Sadly, their Criminal Incompetence is indirectly proportionate to our Criminal Apathy...
What we do...
Talkin' revolution and singin' the blues
Nowadays it's letters to the editor and cheating on our taxes
Is the best that we can do"
"AMERIKA V. 6.0" (Steve Earle)
What they do...
To keep the riff raff out until the slump is through
Yeah, I realize that ain't exactly democratic but it's either them or us
And it's the best we can do"
"AMERIKA V. 6.0" (Steve Earle)
We live in a country where the president of the House of Representative is called Yannakis (Little John-
not by any means to be confused with the Robin Hood character).
Is it any wonder we are f****d up as a nation?
You know why our institutions are failing us, the church,
the state, everything's failing us?
It's because, ummm-they're no longer relevant...
