NURSES ARE ALRIGHT
FROM ME TO ALL ANGEL NURSES

Transposition of Jesus Christ Superstar "Everything's Alright”.
By Sir Tim Rice and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, 1970.

(Nurses)
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
(oh) Don't you know

Nurses are alright
Yes nurses are fine
And we’ll take care of you tonight
Let us look after you tonight

If you try you’ll get by
So forget all about your pain tonight
Nurses are alright
Yes nurses are fine

Sleep and we shall soothe you
Calm you and assist you
Love for your fear and pain
(oh) Then you'll feel
Everything's all right
Yes everything's fine

And you are safe and our care’s sweet
For the pain in your head and heart
Close your eyes
Close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing tonight

Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes

(Patients)
Nurses your sacrifices
Long days and nights on the ward
Must be rewarded and praised
Why are your efforts wasted?

You could help maybe
One million people more
Patients who are sick
Patients who are dying
Matter more
Than the quids saved on NHS

(Nurses)
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
(oh) Don't you know

Nurses are alright
Yes nurses are fine
And we’ll take care of you tonight
Let us look after you tonight

Nurses are alright
Yes nurses are fine
You are safe with us
Day and night

(Rishi Sunak)
Surely you're not saying
We have the resources
To save the sick from their lot?
There will be patients always
Pathetically suffering

Think of the votes I could lose
Work while you still can
Pray while you can still have food
You'll be lost and you'll cry
When you’ll be sacked!

(Nurses)
Stop threatening us
Britain needs us
Our anger is rising
(oh) Don’t you know

Expenses are soaring
We can’t afford tuition
We are exhausted
The bills are outstanding

And we are tired
And we are lost
And we are fed up
Listen to our cry

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
And wake up
Think of us tonight

Everything could be all right
But nothing’s fine now, no!

COMUNICATO DELLA PRESIDENZA DELLA REPUBBLICA A SEGUITO DELLE DIMISSIONI DI MARIO DRAGHI   © Paolo Bolzoni, 24 luglio 2022. Oggi, 24 luglio 2022, i membri del nuovo Consiglio dei Ministri hanno giurato fedeltà alla Repubblica ed alla Costituzione davanti al Presidente Sergio Mattarella. Per fronteggiare la tragica emergenza seguita alle dimissioni di Mario Draghi il 21 luglio 2022, il Presidente Mattarella ha scelto tutti i Ministri senza perdere tempo in inutili consultazioni con partiti ormai trasformati da miopi in ciechi. Solo i Senatori a vita sono stati invitati per piangere insieme ed a consolarsi con un buon grappino. Tutti i Ministri NON sono membri della Camera dei Deputati o del Senato della Repubblica, e non sono iscritti a partiti politici. Tutti i Deputati e Senatori hanno approvato senza fiatare. Al termine della cerimonia, il Presidente Sergio Mattarella ha dichiarato: 
“Per la prima volta nella storia della Repubblica, tutti i ministri sono persone competenti, esper...

 FOUR-MINUTES LONG STANDING OVATION FOR PRESIDENT SERGIO MATTARELLA. Yesterday, 7 December 2022, Maestro Riccardo Chailly inaugurated the 2022/2023 season at La Scala in Milan, and conducted Modest Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov”. Upon his entrance to the “Royal Box”, the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella was welcomed by a four-minutes long standing ovation. The audience, 2,000 selected guests (politicians, artists, Nobel Prize winners, musicians, journalists, etc.) kept on shouting ‘“GRAZIE PRESIDENTE” and “BRAVO”. Next to President Mattarella, you can see the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the Lord Mayor of Milan, the President of the Italian Senate and the Italian Prime Minister. Immediately after, Maestro Chailly conducted the Italian national hymn AND the European Union hymn. To remind you, President Mattarella was re-elected on 29 January 2022, after SEVEN voting rounds, where none of the candidates received the required vote quorum...

22 LIARS IN LINES FOR FOUR WITH REMINDER OF TWO This six years old child, who won the children’s song contest in 1968, is by far smarter than this Cabinet of fools.

  Il 21 aprile, Il Presidente del Senato Ignazio La Russa ha dichiarato: “Nella Costituzione non c’è l’antifascismo.” Dopo le tante polemiche, ha rincarato la dose: “Non mi pento, riaffermo che nella Costituzione non c’è l’antifascismo.” Affermazione terrificante! Tutte le critiche, pienamente giustificate, da parte della stampa e da tutti i partiti politici, deputati e senatori, non hanno accennato alla cosa più ovvia: COSTITUZIONE DELLA REPUBBLICA ITALIANA Disposizioni Transitorie e Finali XII “È vietata la riorganizzazione, sotto qualsiasi forma, del disciolto partito fascista.” Il Presidente del Senato è la seconda carica della Repubblica, e, in caso di gravi impedimenti del Presidente Mattarella, potrebbe essere chiamato in qualsiasi momento a sostituirlo. Articolo 86 della Costituzione: “Le funzioni del Presidente della Repubblica, in ogni caso che egli non possa adempierle, sono esercitate dal Presidente del Senato.” Il Presidente della Repubblica è il GARANTE della ...

BREAKING NEWS BANKRUPT DONALD TRUMP SELLS RATS © Paolo Bolzoni, April 2024 The six times bankrupt Donald Trump, now on the edge of the last, and fatal bankruptcy, set up RATS INC. Launched with a massive $500 million campaign, the company sells rats at $59.99. The rats, all named Joe, are to be fed to the vultures which infest his Mar-o-Liar cave. Only 6 rats were sold, all at the discounted price of $1 cent, to Melania, Ivanka, Jared, Donald Jr, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Governor De Santis. Meanwhile, sued by all TV channels and newspapers for unpaid ads bills, and expropriated of all his assets, Donald Trump tours the Republican mansions, begging like a tramp for a meal. Furious at the failure, the 150,000,000+ members of the Rats United militia marched to Capitol Hill, and surrounded Congress and Senate, chanting: Forward rats, to the rescue We ain’t Joe, we’re Donald Long live hate, trash freedom! Who's the leader of the riot That's God sent for you and me? D-O-N-A-L-D T-...

LIVING SPACE (RESILIENCE) By Caecilia Johanna van Peski Peski, C.J. van (2024). Leefruimte (Veerkracht). In: Marineblad (KVMO) 5 – 2024/134, pp. 18-19. Jerusalem, Israel, June 16, 2024 “ Ibrahim, your bird is in a cage that is much too small!”, I exclaim to my Palestinian friend. We are drinking tea together this morning on the sidewalk in front of his shop. I measure the cage with the wooden bars by eye. A carpenter’s eye is not needed for this assessment; anyone can see that the cage is much too small for the bird. The animal hops nervously back and forth on its tiny stick. A few centimetres to the left, a few centimetres to the right, there is no more room to move. The bird cannot even spread its wings; the confines of the cage that is too narrow do not allow that. ‘ What kind of bird is it?’ I ask further, while I watch the restless hopping back and forth of the bird. ‘A rose-finch,’ Ibrahim answers. ‘Do you see the red head, chest and rump? Beauti...

2 NOVEMBRE Dedicato a tutti i politici ingrassati dalle loro menzogne. Da uno dei mie spettacoli di cabaret a Milano, dove mi sono esibito con altri dilettanti, con un monologo su fatti e persone noti a tutti gli spettatori. Ero uno studente di 18 anni. Seduta in prima fila una signora bassa ma super obesa, occupava due sedie, una per chiappa, sembrava la Gertrude, direttrice del collegio di Gian Burrasca. Seduto di fianco, il marito, alto, allampanato, baffi rivoltati all’insù, sembrava Stanislao, direttore del collegio di Gian Burrasca. Gertrude era ingioiellata, il profumo (lezzo) che si spandeva per tutta la sala, faccia da carogna, occhi iniettati di sangue. Comincio il mio monologo, gli spettatori si divertivano, risate a scena aperta, ecc. La Gertrude, venuta solo per disturbare, ha cominciato ad interrompermi: Basta, Muchela che fai pena, (Gli spettatori “la smetta signora, ci stiamo divertendo”) La Gertrude avanti con gli insulti. Vai a lavorare lazzarone, Pirla, ci ha...

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ELECTIONS 2024 PRESIDENTS MATTARELLA, STEINMEIER AND VAN DER BELLEN: «WE URGE YOU VOTE IN THE EUROPEAN ELECTIONS, THIS IS HOW DEMOCRACY IS DEFENDED» Statement published by Corriere della Sera on 10 May 2024. The joint declaration is signed by the Italian, German and Austrian Presidents. 75 million civilians and soldiers lost their lives to free Europe from the horror of Fascism and Nazism. They died because of deliberate genocide, massacres, mass-bombings, disease, and starvation. The European far right national and populist parties seemingly don’t care about the tragedy, horror, and devastation of World War II. The European far right parties aim at the destruction of the fundamental values of the European Union. Read this noble statement, and think carefully before you cast your vote. Honour the lives of the 75 million victims! “Our three countries know that once democracy is achieved it is not guaranteed, and that exasperated nationalism generates war. It is not s...
