MILAN FAKE GIPSY WARNING

The bad news is that if you are in Milan right now you might be assaulted by scoundrels and gipsies. The good news is that they're likely to be actors and they're not really interested in your wallet. They just want you to know they're voting Mr Pisapia on Sunday as Milan Mayor. This is according to the Italian daily "L'Unità"
Puzzled ? let me just explain to you what happened.
Milanese will be voting their mayor on Sunday and the current centre-right mayor is apparently not willing to quit her place as Milan will host the universal expo in 2015.
Since the left wing candidate has said he wants to pass pro-immigrant legislation and he also wants to have a large Mosque built in Milan( the Archbishop of Milan is also in favour of the Mosque) now Milan is awash with billboards put up by the right-wing faction which read:
THE LARGEST MOSQUE IN EUROPE IN MILAN-IT MIGHT BE IN YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD .LET'S STOP THEM!
PISAPIA WILL TURN MILAN IN A GIPSOPOLIS
IF YOU CHOOSE MR PISAPIA YOU CHOOSE TERRORISM
Right wing politicians have also said that Milan would become the Mecca of gay people if Pisapia is elected Mayor and that if Pisapia wins drug wins.
This is just over the top isn't it but if it's true what L'Unità claims, it really takes the biscuit.
The left wing daily L'Unità has denounced the fact that there have been some fishy events in Milan over the last week. Gypsies which according to L'unità are actors have apparently awkardly tried to ship old people screaming : If Pisapia wins we will dominate over the city.
Some young people dressed up as communists have apparently stolen stuff in a supermarkets and when they were caught they apparently screamed out lout : we'll vote Pisapia.
L'Unità says that all of them are actors.
So, to recap, just be careful if you happen to be in Milan over the weekend. The good news is that you are not likely to be targeted since you are not eligible to vote for the Milan election on Sunday.
Here is the article from the Rome-based L'Unità

Sorry I didn't explain well. You just have to wear a Che Guevara t-shirt anyway. I also used a wrong verb.
they didn't try to "ship" old people. They tried to SNATCH THEIR BEGS.
Sorry

Forgive me if I'm not stringing this together, but what do gays, gypsies, and a large mosque have in common?

They have in common that potential right-wing voters hate them all.
