Classic European Christian democrat party, with a bit more populism and personality cult then their Northern European counterparts. Italy's new leading party is literally fascist - successor to numerous neo-fascist parties and formed by the radical members who left the likes of Berlusconi's party as it was too moderate.

Check out National Alliance who merged into Forza Italia to form Berlusconi's second party of power The People of Freedom National Alliance, it appears, was born of the fascist movement but moved towards the centre ground by turning away from fascist credentials and traditions in favour of more centre right positions, to the extent a bunch of its membership ditched it and turned into the party that just won the election... So even if we accept that Berlusconi lead a fascist party (he didn't, mind), the guys that just won the election thought that party wasn't fash enough for them... So this is a particularly far right government for Italy post 1940s, which is why it's headline news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Without trying to sound gimpy and ghey has anyone tried blackhead pore strips on their nose? My nose is like a dot to dot at the moment. I live in one of Europe's most polluted cities and it's just a greasy bulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I used them as part of my "getting ready to go and meet my eharmony dates" routine and they do work, along with the loreal anti scuffing liquid which I once made the mistake of using after a shave.....rubbing alcohol into freshly shaved skin with a cotton wool ball was not my finest hour !

Popular Post sidcow Posted September 26, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 26, 2022 So at work today I went into the kitchen to make a coffee. 2 of the lads were having a chat in there. One of them turned to me with a massive **** off grin on his face and asked me to tell him about my cushion shed. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of a muchness. My mother seems addicted to Moonpig and spelling her own **** granddaughters name incorrectly, that said every birthday, Christmas card and gift arrives on time.

Used to use Moonpig to send cards to my lot back home but the nieces are a pair of spoilt brats and the rest of them are word removeds so I don't bother anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I use FP Ita alright, does its job, make sure you log in for at or you'll have to start again, the price they show first is for a tiny card so I always end up having to pay more, with photos it works out at about £4 per card delivered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
