Last week, local authorities across Scotland unveiled their budgets for the next year. The councils put on a united front of horrific cuts for all.

"You've pierced us. You've killed our children's future."
Romanian television engineer Adrian Sobaru today made an impressive stand against austerity measures in his country – by leaping from a balcony into the main chamber of the Romanian parliament, where politicians were debating nearly 25ft below. His protest took place the day after the 21st anniversary of the revolution which overthrew faux-communist dictator Nicolae [...]
