Off days

Posted on February 26th, 2013 by Wiggia

untitled-10James Beppe Grillo of the five star movement in Italy has been stirring things up in Italian politics, what I particularly like were his mass meetings called “vaffanculo days” (off days).

When can we start having our own?

Update on developments today.

    There seems to be some misunderstanding of what JBG and the 5* movement stands for.

    Link above states

    “The Five Star Movement’s anti-austerity, anti-establishment message struck a chord with millions of Italians. The ‘Five Stars’ of the movement are the party’s core principles:

    Publicly owned water
    Sustainable transportation
    Sustainable development
    Free and open internet access
    Environmentalism

    The big loser? Austerity”.
