In the latest chapter of our lives, Lydia and I have packed up our all our worldly belongings, said goodbye to our dear friends in Australia and America and are beginning afresh in Belgium. What wonderful adventures await us in the Old World?

Protests

There is going to be an ugly little protest march today in Leuven, pro-fascism pro-racism, and a protest march to protest the protest (anti-fascism anti-racism). It is a big let down that these ugly viscous fascists manage to find enough like-minded thugs to be able to hold a protest rally in a town like Leuven. If anyone should have learnt where this right-wing extremist rubbish leads it is Europe. We shouldn’t stop their right to free expression, but society should slam itself shut tight against these extremists so that they are pressured into just keeping their bigoted little ideas to themselves, rather than giving them airplay and dignity that they don't deserve.
