http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuliano_Amato Its the last days of desperate arse saving diplomacy to decide who is going to be the next President of the Republic.  Forget the fact that it is now 55 days since the elections and tehre is no majoirty, no government, no PM, no policy.  Forget that all the highbrow words mask only one…

Ive been offline because I couldnt think of anything to say.  This country makes a mockery of its own arcane self.  It is now 6 weeks since the elections and there is still no government, Monti is still PM – and all the new new MP’s are drawing fat salaries.  And there will be no…

Silvio has announced himself to be open to anything to help form a government to help Italy out of its mess.  Translated this means – never in a million years, but it’ll make him look good and statesmanlike.  Bersani loses, Berlusconi wins and is already ahead in the polls.

A month of ‘negotiations’ and we still dont have a government. Bersani is set to fail and its back to the hustings. Silvio will be thrilled – he can claim legitimate impediment for all his trials till the next elections – probably in July.  The M5S is satisfied, convinced they will do even better next…

DOM Silvio is getting hot under his collar.  Its not the uveitus you understand which results in him going round in dark glasses like a very inferior mafia henchman, its this bloody thing called democracy.   Poor love, you can understand his predicament.  He loses an election and nobody will do as he says.  The…

All of Toad’s trials have come to a grinding halt as he has been hospitalised with an itchy eye.  For over a week poor Uncle Steptoe has been lashed to a trolley in the corridor of some underfunded hospital neglected by nursing staff and left to dehydrate in a draughty corridor.  Oh no – he’s…

Silvio went on telly last night – obviously on his channels – to mobilise the faithful to protest against the democratic cancer of the judiciary.  Nice.  To keep us up to speed with his legal cases he decided to announce his verdict on everything. MEdiaset – he accused of avoiding 3 million in tax.  Apparently…

So Grillo’s insistence that as the largest single party in parliament, but 3rd in the coalition stakes, it should be Grillo that forms a government seems to be taking hold. Slowly.  From the derision that met his election, we now have various gods of industry saying that actually, well, they voted M5S.  Napolitano, the president,…

So there we have it, the usual mix of wholly unsuitable allies and a country that wont be governable.  30% to the left, 30% to the right, 10 to the middle and 25% to the 5 Stelle ‘chuck’em in the ocean’ party.   That means casualties – and Silvio will be thrilled that Fini, his…

I am respecting the electoral silence, even though Dom Steptoes is incapable of keeping his mouth shut and used a Milan press conference to slag off his enemies again.   It’s almost as if Toad knew that the Inter-Milan derby would be this weekend when he pushed for the elections to be held at the…
