 PLAY THE EUROPEAN UNION ANTHEM AND FLY THE EUROPEAN FLAG AT ALL SPORT EVENTS The national anthem is played at all sport events where national teams compete. At the medal ceremony, the national flag of the gold medallist is raised while playing the national anthem. Should the European Union anthem be played immediately after the national anthem when the team of an European Union's member compete? Should the Europe flag be raised together with the national flag when the gold medallist represents a member of the European Union? Will both send a strong signal of unity, and a celebration of the European Union’s five fundamental values? FREEDOM DEMOCRACY EQUALITY RULE OF LAW HUMAN RIGHTS The Europe flag, adopted by the European Union in 1985, is flown or displayed in all public buildings, government institutions, ministries, town halls, and embassies/consulates of the European Union members. The European anthem is the 4th movement of the 9th symphony, Ode to Joy, by Ludwig van Beethoven

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

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-

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

2 NOVEMBER Dedicated to all fat cats politicians. Gertrude and Stanislao are two characters in The Diary of Hurricane Johnny. 2 November is All Souls' Day. From one of my cabaret shows in Milan where I performed with other amateurs, with a monologue on facts and people known to all spectators. I was an 18-year-old student. Sitting in the front row was a short, but extra large obese woman, she sat on two chairs, one for each butt, she looked like Gertrude, headmaster of Hurricane Johnny’s college. Sitting next to her was her husband, tall, lanky, moustache turned upwards, he looked like Stanislao, headmaster of Hurricane Johnny’s college. Gertrude was bejewelled, her scent (stink) wafting throughout the room, carrion face, her eyes bloodshot. I began my monologue, the spectators were having fun, open laughter, etc. Gertrude, who had come only to insult, began to interrupt me: Enough of this crap, Stop it, you are pitiful, (The spectators “stop it ma'am, we're having f

OH GIORGIA DEI DOLORI Trasposizione di “Oh Madonnina Dei Dolori” - Giorgio Gaber - 1972/1973 © Paolo Bolzoni, gennaio 2024 Oh Giorgia dei dolori Quanti dolori avete voi Oh Giorgia dei dolori Adesso vi racconto i miei Voi avete più di un dolore Ma anch’io credete non ne posso più Vi vedo governare e mi prende un colpo al cuore Penso all’Italia sono molto giù Anche se rapporti con Benito Da un po' di tempo non ne avete mai Ma d’altra parte è risaputo Che pure Salvini vi odia assai Per voi direi è anche giusto Voi siete la finta bionda fatina Per me la cosa è un po' diversa Mi viene solo paura il razzismo imperversa Di Benito sanno tutti Che non l’avete fucilato voi Ma ci sono ancora tanti farabutti Penso a loro e vedo tanti avvoltoi Il vostro lume è il capo del fascismo Il famosissimo Benito Il nostro lume è la libertà  Libero sarà chi ci seguirà Benito non era certo un santo Ma l’Italia si svegliò dall’incanto Adesso invece voi siete lì Se ri

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. In the dungeon of Number 10 22 liars without shame Organised a meeting To sink the UK 22 liars in lines for four with the remainder of two In Number 10 telling Britons fuck you They met in secret In lines for four with the remainder of two Counting the bribes In lines for four with the remainder of two With foam in the mouth In line for four with the remainder of two They sold Britain off In lines for four with the remainder of two They told all the poor Who starve in the streets And ask for one meal a day And dream to sleep under a roof Millions in line for a meal And a rest under a roof Ehi, fuck off you They met in secret In lines for four with the remainder of two With slimy hands In lines for four with the remainder of two When at the end of the meeting The situation was defined The
