Gadaffi Jr's pied a terre, in suburban London.

Squatting, a great British tradition.

Governments dither, citizens mobilise.

"A bunch of Japanese bad boys, garage mechanics, drove up 500 miles from Nagoya to Tohoku, the epicenter, to deliver relief goods to refugees. There was a serious shortage of fuel and many roads were closed but they completed the mission without any help from the government."

Thanks to Take for this. Ganbare Nippon.
