Army takes to streets of Naples

January 7, 2008 Federal Europe, WTF? No comments
! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

No, Italy hasn’t decided to have another war with itself, they’re cleaning up rubbish.

A couple of weeks ago dustmen stopped collecting rubbish because the landfill sites were all full and there was nowhere else to take the rubbish.  There are now 100,000 tonnes of rubbish on the streets causing fires and protests.

The problem is that every time the authorities try to build an incinerator to ease the pressure on landfill sites, the local mob (the Camorra) sabbotage it.  The mobsters use the landfill site to dump illegal waste and toxic materials.  I imagine a few bodies make their way to the dumps as well from time to time.

Luckily, Federal Europe has stepped in to sort the problem out.  They’ve told the Italian government to get it sorted in a week or they’ll fine them.  That’ll help.
