"Italian Judicial System" - what is that, do they actually have one ?

I lost any sort of confidence when they locked up some scientists for failing to predict and earthquake! Raving!

True PP but isnt our system too accusatorial and not inquisitorial enough?

Obviously he's greased a few palms. Their system of justice is a joke, they are so incompetent it's unbelievable.

What happened to the captain of the cruise liner? I notice it's just been refloated after 2 years

Did you see his interview with Paxo on Newsnight recently?

"Italian Justice" - surely the biggest oxymoron of recent history?

Italy is, always has been and always will be run by the Mafia. Politicians who let them 'get on with it' are successful , those who try to stand up to them don't last long.

The inquisitorial bits of the English legal system dont work that well -inquests and official inquiries

Morning PP - maybe we should hold an inquest as to why that is ;-)
