France. Athens. Moscow.

Mr Le Pen in a heavily censored by himself
interview has described himself
:"je suis un homme de centre droit. j'ai été député du centre national des indepéndants je n'ai pas changé d'idées c'est lña classe politique tout entière qui, depuis 1968 a dérivé vers la gauche....."

Now that ought send shivers up well toned spines.

one might think tourism will be down.
Big problems in Greece, sum it up this way, there are no 500€ notes in circulation, because that is too much money = Think.

In Russia on a street close to his comfortable North Moscow suburb home, a street named "Liberty" Sergei Youchenkov was assasinated.

The leading critic of the Checnyan War within the Russian Duma, his death will have longterm implications on control of the Russian Mafia.

The British Media is handling the post Iraq crises and wondering is Blair still secure.

The Sunday Independent sums it all up.
"where are the WMD?".
yes indeed.

"Where" is the question word of the 21st century.

Where are the medicines?
Where is the progress?
Where is the Peace?
Where is Osama?
Where is Saddam?
Where are the Weapons of Mass Destruction?
Where is Bush's legitimacy?
Where are we going?

oh and now that the Babylonian Goddess Astarte has been returned to the Bagdad Museum where are the other curious archane titbits?


stuff like that.
Happy Easter.

Vatican re-iterates rules on receiving Communion
Trevor Sargent, Green Party leader & practising Church of Ireland
member, discusses the issue
28k - http://www.rte.ie/news/2003/0420/thisweek/thisweek4a.smil
well done Trevor, nodding @ the Douglas Hyde funeral, syriac catholics in Iraq today celebrated their Easter and Spanish TV interviewed one young woman without veil, who spoke of liberty and hope.
Indeed her tiny minority is one of the richest in the state and though they fear a fundemental islamic takeover, they speak Spanish, English and share communion with their Roman and Orthodox Catholic friends but not Mr Sargent of the Irish Green Party.


those pictures at BCN got moved.
fine editors there.

now Le Monde was actually the Saturday edition I didn't check when I stole it from the café.
anyway, the French FN are getting ready for their conference which will see "Liberty" the buzz word of the current days used lots.

Mr Bush has welcomed the demostrations in Bagdad as being a sure sign of "liberty of expression", this means that he may stand with his daddy the former President who said only four weeks ago "one can not change the global security policy for the people who walk in Barcelona", and smile at the cameras after his country has illegally invaded and is indeed in occupation of a country to the cost of thousands of lives.

oh well.

We have the "liberty" to say what ever we like about him.
good.

Mr Bush you are a fucking asshole.

other European conferences to watch are the Basuq nationalists, who have been accused of being extra national as the other nationalists are illegal now.
(they dont get freedom of expression anymore)
