|
Neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party has ignited more controversy following a demonstration on the Greek island of Crete, in which one MP unfurled the flag of the 1967-1974 military junta and another one threatened to kill anti-fascist protesters. Spokesman and lawmaker Ilias Kasidiaris, who in June assaulted two woman MPs during a live broadcast from a television studio, was filmed arguing with police outside the Golden Dawn rally. According to Ekathimerini website, Kasidiaris lashed out at policemen who allowed an anti-fascist demonstration to take place near the party meeting, intimating them there will be victims if the protesters were not moved away. “Believe me, you will have dead people by tonight,” the Golden Dawn spokesman can be heard telling the police in video footage of the incident. Another neo-Nazi MP, Christos Pappas, eaved the flag of the military dictatorship that hold power in Greece from 1967 to 1974, which bears a phoenix and a soldier. The junta, led by Colonel Papadopoulos, Colonel Makarezos and Brigadier Pattakos, imposed strict controls over the media and judicial system, suppressed any political opposition and dismantled the reforms of the last elected prime minister Georgios Papandreou. Indeed, Golden Dawn was enivsaged by its leader Nikos Michaloliakos after his arrest in 1976 after an attack on journalists who were covering the funeral of the junta torturer Evangelos Mallios. …MORE |

Now that Liz & Dick has officially debuted on Lifetime, the question of whether Lindsay Lohan successfully pulled off her much-hyped, critically panned comeback role as Elizabeth Taylor is everyone’s to answer — and pick apart. Not surprisingly, the most cynical of viewers tended to agree with THR ‘s Tim Goodman , who — in a hard-eyed review — roasted Lohan’s performance like the New York Times did Guy Fieri . (But, hey, some people thought the 26-year-old troubled tabloid fixture wasn’t “woeful as Taylor from start to finish.”) PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Through the Years If you’ve seen the movie, a must-watch for lovers of guilty pleasure, trainwreck-y TV, and want to relive some of its most memorable moments, read on. For those who haven’t had the opportunity to see La Lohan impersonate Liz, and Grant Bowler take on Richard Burton , warning: SPOILERS AHEAD. 1
Gene Page/AMC “The Walking Dead’s” Michael Rooker [Warning: This story contains spoilers from Sunday's "When the Dead Come Knocking" episode of The Walking Dead .] Held prisoner and physically and emotionally tortured by the Governor and Merle in Woodbury, Glenn and Maggie held strong for most of Sunday’s episode before revealing that Daryl, Rick and the group of 10 were taking up residence at the nearby prison, which the small but mighty group were able to clear out. Meanwhile, Michonne ( Danai Gurira ) was welcomed into Rick’s ( Andrew Lincoln ) fold as the group cared for her Merle-inflicted gunshot wound. The details of her injury — specifically that they came from a guy named Merle ( Michael Rooker ), who resides at a camp in which Andrea ( Laurie Holden ) has voluntarily chosen to become a part of — remains her secret as she leads Rick, Oscar ( Vincent Ward ) and Daryl ( Norman Reedus ) to Woodbury in an attempt to free Glenn and Maggie. While Glenn’s ( Steven Yeun ) abuse was in the form of a severe beating and attempted death by walker at the hands of Merle, who was re-creating what it felt like for him on that Atlanta rooftop, the Governor ( David Morrissey ) threatened to rape Maggie ( Lauren Cohan ) — a nod to his attempts to break Michonne in the Image Comics on which the AMC series is based. However, it was the Governor’s gun held to Glenn’s head that eventually led Maggie to reveal the group’s numbers and location — prompting the Woodbury leader to question of she was lying about its size or if Merle’s brother and company were really able to do something the elder Dixon brother said couldn’t be done: Clear the prison

Public inflation expectations in Britain for the next 12 months fell to 2.8 percent in November from 3.0 percent in October, a survey by polling company YouGov showed on Monday. Inflation expectations for the next 5-10 years also fell, dropping to 3.4 percent – the lowest since July – from 3.7 percent in October. The survey of 2,162 people was carried out on behalf of bank Citi, and was conducted between November 21 and November 23, shortly after official data showed consumer price inflation rose to 2.7 percent in October. “Expectations of continued inflation are translating into expectations of a further decline in living standards – and hence a continued desire to deleverage and caution over spending – rather than stronger cost growth,” said Citi economist Michael Saunders.
