An occasional letter from the Heart of Euroville. Thursday, December 16, 2004. Freedom of Speech/ Belgium constitutional referendum. Is a fascinating article to follow up my comments. Please note the reason awhy people should not be allowed to decide about the Constitution of their own country,. Elio Di Rupo, leader of the French-speaking Socialists, said some parties might abuse the referendum to campaign against Turkey's EU bid or to further split linguistically divided Belgium.

An occasional letter from the Heart of Euroville. Friday, December 17, 2004. What is the right word for bloodthirsty dictator? Mugabe, sole ruler since Zimbabwe's independence from Britain in 1980, is accused by his opponents and critics of running down one of Africa's most promising economies through a series of controversial policies, including the land seizures. So the new word is "sole ruler", chickenshit Reuters, simply chickenshit. Hat Tip John over at The England Project. Stuff read while sitting.

One of the great monuments of Brussels is the Imperial triumphal arch in the Jubelpark. This monument concieved to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the existance of this disfunctional country. It was opened 25 years late and had been financed almost entirely on the backs of dead Congolese tribesmen. However it is pretty impressive. Newly and expensively refurbished.
