Ο βουλευτής Κέρκυρας κ. Ν. Γεωργιάδης είναι σίγουρα η ευχάριστη έκπληξη της παρούσας Βουλής. Ένας από τους λίγους φιλελεύθερους της Ελληνικής πολιτικής σκηνής, βρίσκεται τις τελευταίες μέρες στο στόχαστρο των συντηρητικών (όλων των κομμάτων) και της εκκλησίας.

“Foreigners shot on the border, asylum-seekers detained in metal containers, Roma forcibly evicted from their homes in Athens — these are some of the examples of consistent pattern of human rights violations”, Amnesty International revealed in its report ‘Greece: Human rights violated on the margins of society’.

I have recently discovered ABC’s series ‘Boston Legal’; thanks to the marvel of internet we, fortunately, can liberate ourselves from the mediocrity of European TV. Pop culture at its best; an astonishingly funny James Spader and a Cool As Hell William “Denny Crane” Shatner (captain Kirk himself) lead an extremely talented cast in this dark-humor […]
