In reply to Chris J's quote below:
"Italy is the sick man of Europe. How it's still part of the G8, i have no idea"
Marc you forgot to mention that Italian hospitals according to a Times report were ranked 2nd in the world. I have also been told that at Modena hospital they use robotic food carts that can also operate the lifts without any human help perhaps one day we might see them at NHS hospitals.
Italy is also a non permant member of the UN security councile and had came extremly close to taking part on the Iran nuclear talks had Germany not complained.
Mr Chris J quote should have been :
"Italy is the sick man of Europe. How it's still part of the G8, i have no idea why Spain shouldn't take its place?"
I am extremly dissapointed by the British press treatment of Italy in recent years would love to know its cause. At the end of the day world political and economy focus is shifting towards the east so in a few years time it will be the Russian/Chinese paper's opinions that count. Lets just point out that the British nor Spanish economy are not in great health either. Yesterday Beijing shocked the world with the opening ceremony for the Olympics we live in hope to see how London will reply in 2012 i'm not sure if fingers crossed will be enough.
