    CHIMES OF FREEDOM
    Despite all the pre-demonstration bragging of Islamophobic groups like the SIOE the much-vaunted demo against the "Islamization of Europe" (sic) came to naught. It was a wash-out with just a few dozen groups daring to break the law and show their hate-filled faces. The BBC, always favouring the Right, reported attendance at around two hundred. 24 Heures reported it as much less.
    Even if we were to be naive enough to believe (…)

    7 August 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Roger Boyes in Berlin
    Germans faced the prospect of summer holiday chaos yesterday as train drivers voted for an unlimited nationwide strike. It seems set to be the worst rail strike in 15 years and, along with a threat of industrial action by airline pilots, could bring the country to a standstill.

    The governments have decided to include in a new Treaty and through amendments of the previous ones the main part of the Constitutional Treaty – rejected by the French and Dutch peoples. The Party of the European Left criticises (…)
