Silvio Berlusconi, Italian prophet of right-wing populism, dead at 86

https://www.liberalpatriot.com/i/127761746/silvio-berlusconi-italian-prophet-of-right-wing-populism-dead-at

 

What happened? Former Italian prime minister and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi died in Milan at age 86. Berlusconi served as a prime minister three times in the 1990s and 2000s, and his two-plus decades in politics was plagued by multiple sex and corruption scandals—including his notorious “bunga bunga” sex parties that were first revealed in 2010.

Why does it matter? Berlusconi’s political success as a media figure turned right-wing populist paved the way not just for the current right-wing Italian government but right-wing populist figures around the world, including Donald Trump in the United States and Boris Johnson in Great Britain. Though he never attained Italy’s highest office after leaving it for the last time in 2011, Berlusconi’s wider political legacy will remain with us for the foreseeable future.

TLP’s take: As comical as Berlusconi could seem, he represented the leading edge of right-wing populism as it would emerge and evolve in the 2010s. He created a model for politicians like Trump, and the world would probably have been better off if he’d never entered politics.

 

Naah. Silvio was an innocent little soul.

I don't remember Silvio doing any such.
However AC Milan became poor during his presidency.

The reluctancey of the media to reveal the origin of the person who done it, yet another news outlet did it straight away saying 'a history of mental health issues and a West African Migrant' 

And not forgetting the old one liner 'suffered mental health issues' to try and some what mask them

Not offending anyone is more important than keeping our children safe from savages

Does the UK media usually disclose the origin of people who commit crimes? Like I know in France they usually choose not to do so no matter what.

Yes. Ethnicity is usually mentioned, and there will be photos of the suspect/ arrested. 

With the events in Nottingham -the victims identities are slowly released (presumably with relatives consent) and the perpetrators name and ethnicity have also been released

West African origin -all over every media.

The police have denied they recieved calls about him before his rampage. Though they would.

Typical England, we lock people up for years for committing petty crimes just to feed his family because the prices in the country are a disgrace, but we let a fucking lunatic into the country and give him everything under the sun and more, and look what he goes and does? Beyond a joke this country. It doesn't help when the country is ran by a bunch of fucking grown children, the videos from the house of commons or cheering and boos, standing up sitting down having a pop at each other, bunch of useless sackless cunts the lot of them.

Tax dodgers get longer sentences than murderers or child abusers
