Here is another story on Italian politics from the rabble main site, posted here in the ongoing campaign against thread proliferation. The Italian Green party is opposed to many things: GMOs, the silly bridge to Sicily, nuclear, etc, but also to a high-speed rail link (TGV) between Lyon and Turin, through the Alps. A much more difficult question for environmentalists, that. It certainly will damage fragile Alpine valleys, but at the same time it could cut down on the terrible air pollution now found in the area due to the growing fleet of trucks (TIR) travelling the same route, especially since European integration. It is far worse than the situation in southwestern Ontario...

He got one thing right: quote: "What's at stake is Western civilisation," he was quoted by the daily La Repubblica as saying.
I quite agree. Every time he opens his mouth, he diminishes it.

In the interests of avoiding thread prolif, thought I'd add this Italian story here, as there are a lot of fascists under discussionFascist Lazio football star meets Holocaust survivors Roma, the opposing Roman side, has already met with survivors, but traditionally Roma fans are on the left, and Lazio fans on the right (including the far-right, racist and violent Ultra supporters, who are fond of racist jokes about monkeys, gas ovens and the like. I liked the little touch about the footballers with their hair dyed blond. Ersatz Aryans?
