Berlusconi Watch


I've said a few things regarding certain leadership over the months - and as an impartial onlooker, Silvio's office seems to be more like a soap opera (a great one at that) - but what's happened this evening is totally unacceptable.

When John Prescott was egged that day, and responded with a pinpoint left jab, I thought "you know what, fair enough". Nobody, prince, pauper or politician deserves to be assaulted, egged or personally abused for doing their job - however poorly.

There is one thing protesting and another crossing the line into abuse. If spokespeople for the majority (or even the minority) cannot appear in public for fear of attack, it undermines the point of democracy.
