Berlusconi lost a libel lawsuit against the magazine "The Economist" yesterday in a Milan court which ruled that the the July 2001 issue entitled "Why Silvio Berlusconi is unfit to lead Italy" did not defame him nor was untrue. The minister of the interior in Italy has confirmed that the 3,000 troops stationed on the streets in August to fight migrants will be increased. Below are the key figures so far on how useful Italian paratroop regiments have been in the fight against the gypsy child. Dick Cheney finishes his global tour which has included Georgia and the Ukraine, whipping up votes for a new Cold War led by John Mc Cain this evening with a joint lecture with Aznar in the Foro Ambrosetti on world leadership.

Gary and I shared many a police cell in the '70's & '80's and many a backyard barbie in the '90's and norties. In '77 Gary brought his experiences from the north of Ireland to our movement in sunny redneck facist Queensland that resisted the state suspension of civil liberties (3,000+ arrests '77-81 for merely marching, leafleting picketing, gathering publicly in groups of more than 3 people..Nuts?....you had to be there!) read full story / add a comment

After a hungerstrike which lasted 76 days, the Anarchist prisoner Amadeu Casellas won his demands for the privileges he had been denied, supervised freedom under the 3rdş degree, which iwill allow him two 48 hour passes followed by work outside of prison only to return to sleep. The reports publicised by the Catalan ministry of Justice early yesterday evening that he had abandoned his protest were finally qualified at 10pm last night by his lawyer that he had in fact won his demands & that the solidarity campaign will continue to highlight his case with protest actions today to support a visit by his mother & a parliamentary representative. read full story / add a comment
