Schill out
Yesterday, one of the most disgraceful political episodes in the city of Hamburg's history finally came to an end. Right-wing populist "Judge Merciless" Ronald Barnabas Schill lost his job as Hamburg's interior minister. He will be remembered as the man who favoured emetics to make alleged drug-dealers confess and who wanted to expel foreign children whose parent's lived legally in Germany as asylum seeekers. His war on the "Bambule", a former squatted place with trailers, where he made hundreds of young people seeking an alternative life-style homeless, will have to be called off now. Schill was dismissed by the mayor of Hamburg, Ole von Beust, after an attempt to blackmail von Beust by making his homosexuality public.
