Nutters coming to a Piazza near you.. if you go to Italy on Holiday

One of the good things about reading political blog and journo RSS feeds is that one gets tipped off about some bizarre events.  No… not ducks and moats this time – something a little bit more sinister… GUARDIA NAZIONALE ITALIANA.

Italy is one of my favourite countries.  I know it quite well.  I drink their wines, I eat their food and I murder their language….BUT… it is, for all its beauty and style, probably the most right wing country in Europe and becoming increasingly so with two parties, some say, to the right even of our ludicrous BNP and the buffoon who leads it. (I believe I am still entitled to indulge in vulgar abuse in our sceptred isle?  I shall consult Geeklawyer – the Grand Master of vulgar abuse when it comes to insults!)

Claude Carpentieri, writing in The Liberal Conspiracy, states: “The Italian government has just issued a White paper on law and order that gives the go-ahead to private vigilante groups. While the paper states that such groups will have to sign up to a licensing scheme, it’s interesting to take a peek at those who are enthusiastically jumping at the opportunity. Enter the Guardia Nazionale Italiana, whose website is currently recruiting “true Italian Nationalists and Patriots, people who are able to wear their uniform with pride and dignity, and for everything that it represents, are able to serve our land and the Italian people…. You may be excused if it rings familiar: black trousers with yellow band, black hat donning the Imperial Eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, khaki shirt carrying both Italian flag and a certain symbol (a black sun that is popular amongst German neo-nazis), black armband, black tie and black boots.”.

Well… even though many of them eat too many buns, I’d rather have our Police Community Support mob than these buffoons… who will, soon be marching in the Piazza of Firenze, Venezia, Siena and Roma…Have a look at their uniforms.

And now… a little light entertainment  to remind ourselves how mockery works….SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER from The Producers.
