    I'm surprised that you haven't heard of him. I thought everyone had.

    Here's the two facts you need to know about him:
    • Someone tried to assassinate him - he was shot - and left using a wheelchair.
    • He's a tough Barsteward. He showed the Greeks what a strong negotiating position looks like.

      There is such a thing as a life, y'know...
      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

              The Greeks had no money and he put the boot in. As a result the Greeks are now costing up with Russia. That's success for you.

              If the Germans don't play ball ghen I suggest an immediate two tier tariff on German owned vehicle manufacturers.

              Vehicles manufactured in Germany and imported to the UK start with a 10% tariff, rising by 10% every month until a deal is done.

              German cars manufactured in the UK and bought in the UK. Zero tariff.

                With Jaguar, LandRover, Nissan & BM they have a choice. Maybe German manufacturers will start producing cars in the UK?
                Jaguar is Indian. Land Rover is owned by Jaguar and so is also Indian. Nissan is part-owned by Renault and is therefore French-Japanese.

                And let's not forget Rolls-Royce and Mini who are both owned by BMW.

                    Russia got no money to pay them off.
