Moscow protests - over

"Thousand arrests at Moscow rally"

What's all the fuss about ?

Well, simple , really ... BS reasons given to exxclude opposition candidates .. "not enough signatures" ... 

IF free and fair elections were held.. 'United' Russia would likely lose ..

"People were protesting against the exclusion of opposition candidates from local polls. The opposition say they were barred for political reasons.

Some of the candidates banned from standing in the 8 September election had been detained earlier.

Officials disqualified about 30 people, saying they had failed to collect enough valid signatures to stand."


IF this ends of in my 'Russophobe' thread we can see how Manny deals with diffficult news ;)

Lets have some stories about what goes on in the EU where the police beat up kids and OAP's

Or better still the US where the police SHOOT kids if they are black...
I support no government anywhere, ever, never. No institution, No religion!!
