I might have had problems believing that if I hadn't recently been to the UK. I went to meet a mate coming from Liverpool to Norwich. He got in just an hour and a half late. Mind you if we had a version of Trump, who made the trains run on time, oh boy, can you imagine what the protesting block would say? (think Italian fascist).
Jā, tieši tā es to iedomājos. Nežēlīgs diktators, pie kura vilcieni pienāk laikā! :D

nju ja :D , Musolīni sakārtotais itāļu dzelzceļš joprojām darbojas nevainojami
Fake news, surely!! Don't know much about that period of Italian history except that Mussolini crushed the mafia in Sicily, and that according to one British journalist everyone (including democrats, communists, socialists, liberals) were fascists ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN9DoDIwdF4). tongue in cheek, maybe, but it might mean something :)
Funny you should say that.
I was just looking at Mussolini's wikipedia page because of the train question, and I read further on there about his handyman in Sicilia, who indeed was subduing mafia according to Mussolini's orders.
However, as I understood, when he did so, he exposed mafia ties to the political circles in Rome, and was recalled, shuffled around and retired.
And then during the war, of course, Allies resurrected mafia and made it strong. | |
