Learn the difference between “arrest” and “prosecution”

2. political announcement that doesn’t materialize “frankly I can’t imagine who could possibly believe a politician with as many arrests as Tsipras”

Honesty more necessary than ever

I understand ministers wanting to defend the government’s work in universitiesnow that the thug action has been reignited (it’s not just the riot on Tuesday, it’s also the attack on the vice-chancellor of AUTH two weeks ago, it’s the burglary on the car of the professor-expert who didn’t reproduce the xylophone stuff, etc.).

What I don’t understand is why they do it underestimating their audience. Meaning. I’ve already heard two ministers bragging about the “arrests” that were made when it is known that only arrests were made on Tuesday and that all those charged were released.

Because I find it hard to believe that ministers don’t know the difference between “arrest” and “prosecution” (although I can’t rule anything out) I would advise them, if they want to be persuasive, not to stray from reality and not to defend what is not worth defending. Failing at everything is easily forgiven, being dishonest not so much.

Speaking

It was understandable that CKE staffers had difficulty answering questions about violence and the need to police university campuses. It’s not easy for someone to admit that they are actually in favour of policing, but just want it done by the KNATs.

Consider if he was “blue”

If Companion Niko makes his threat a reality and takes Minister Georgiades to court we might just find out the whole truth about the house his family rents to the state. What we unfortunately won’t find out is what his mouth would say if that particular house was owned and rented by the family of a state government official. But we can imagine.
