Favio Zanonato the mayor of Padova, Italy elected as a social democrat has astounded rights groups worldwide and provoked polemic indignation in his own city with what he terms a "temporary measure". A troublesome neighbourhood and its core complex of flats which are home to marginalised migrant groups and native Italian poor with high instances of drug use and sale has been walled. Construction workers arrived without prior warning and erected in one day a security fence of 4 milimetre thick steel fencing and 3 metres high around the flats. Only one entrance or exit has been left where residents and visitors alike must submit to searches by the police before passing through. ... read full story / add a comment

Over 1000 leaflets where distributed in the County town of Tyrone to raise awarness about the barbarity and to make a stand against the atrocity.

Unfortunately for the Labour Party- who today, released a press statement, (The Annual Press Release about how expensive it is to send a child to school). About a 1000 euro's per child. Which when you think about it , is pretty crazy. This is the state school sector: who send parents letters about registration fees (an annual thing now) wherein, in secondary, you have to re-register your child every year for a suggested fee. Then there is the locker fee, the voluntary subscription (suggested amount 150 per child) The books, shoes (they wear out damn quick). Registration, suggested donation, locker fee and books : about 500 euros per secondary school child. (and More) ... read full story / add a comment |
