You sound subversive!Christmas cheers!Alex Hi David – I’m sure somebody will be waiting for you!

Yes, there are some alternatives to Mr B – not many seem to be what Italy needs though – not from what I’ve seen.

A couple of younger politicos are rising through the ranks – but it’s worse than dead man’s shoes here in political circles – almost – unless you are a member of Berlusconi’s party – and being good looking (and female) helps too!

Hope you are not banned too quickly! You sound subversive!

Christmas cheers!

Alex

That there are not, is a myth perpetuated by the likes of him, his followers and much of the media. Its seems that, having repeated it often enough, it has now become received wisdom. This is very dangerous.A government that incites fear and violence itself (for instance, towards immigrants) should not be surprised when it is itself at the receiving end of some of this.The revolution starts on Monday when i arrive in Milan.

A government that incites fear and violence itself (for instance, towards immigrants) should not be surprised when it is itself at the receiving end of some of this.

The revolution starts on Monday when i arrive in Milan.

For Italy though, I'm not so sure. Berlusconi has done an awful lot to raise Italy's profile worldwide - trouble is though, that most of the press has been negative - this is not good for Italy.Perhaps Berlusconi might realise this and step down - doubt it though. Another huge problem is that there is no real alternative to Berlusconi -Fini perhaps - but he's old school and it's the old school types who don't seem to be able to sort Italy out.Best,Alex medson – Do I feel good? – Yes, for the man as a man, I do.
