Stamatis Phasoulis is not a politician, he is not an economist, he is not a technocrat. Subsequently he does not analyse politically, economically or technocratically. He is a man of the the theater, director\/actor and maybe more. A brilliant satirist. And of course the image is his domain. So Stamatis Phassoulis in an interview on Greek state television last night made a brilliant analysis of an image.<\/p>\n
The image was of Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor. He said, picture her in black and white. Think in terms of old photographs. You will realise that she wears a uniform. It is always the same. A tight fitting uniform. Something that is much clearer in black and white, because she has the same uniform in different colours.<\/p>\n
Her hair, always the same too, brings to mind the old fashioned way of cutting hair. You put a bowl or a saucepan on the head an cut away the protruding hair. This was the sensible, disciplined way of cutting hair. No fancy stuff. Rigour. Cropped hair and a uniform. <\/p>\n
Does the policy she insists on and her way of imposing it surprise you any more?<\/p>\n
