In a nutshell

Piffle!

Piffle!
What utter piffle. Basescu, I am sure, has no more intention of helping the Rroma 'integrate' today than he did last year nor the year before. This is just another excuse to get an additional handout from the EU, as if its a bottomless pit of cash to...

Violet, the woman who almost changed history

Violet, the woman who almost changed history
