Berlusconi sure has a big mouth

Berlusconi denies apologising for jibe. Mr Berlusconi says he has not apologised for his Nazi remarks to a German MEP in the European Parliament. [BBC News | World | UK Edition]

For a man hiding behind immunity laws Berlusconi sure has a big mouth.

I have some small hope that he will be forced to resign the EU presidency.  If not for this gaff, then for the next.  Let's face it - a man who cannot avoid such a comment on day 1 has an almost Shrub like ability to screw up.

He is certainly not someone I wish representing me or my interests in Europe.  Indeed at a time like this a convicted monopolist and abuser of state power is that last person we need at the head of the EU.

Now, how the hell do I figure out who my MEP is!?!

The quality of justice is strained

Britain condemns US terror trials. Britain expresses its concern that some of its citizens held in Guantanamo Bay might face military tribunals. [BBC News | World | UK Edition]

It's a pretty poor sort of justice that has to take place in secret whilst diminishing the legal rights & protections of those accused.
