Now it seems that Monti may not stand after all .  He’s been cut to the quick by the nasty words of other politicians and now he may stay home and sulk.  Mr Toad has been up on high horse complaining that Monti hasnt even picked upt the phone to call him – All of…

Uncle Steptoe has begun the election campaign on his own.  It helps that he is the owner of half the terrestrial tv stations in ITaly, as he is using them as his platform for the election.   Sunday saw him talk for an interminable hour on Domenica In, and yesterday – to coincice with ROberto…

The pro-Monti PDL had a rally yesterday afternoon, and to steal their thunder Steptoe decided to appear on one of his own channels at exactly the same time.  Interviewed by a tame ‘journalist’ he gave full vent to his version of reality, which increasingly seem to be rantings of a man with the onset of…

The elected representatives of the PDL and Lega in Lombardy have been naughty.  We wait to see if all the other parties are in it up to their necks, but its a fair bet they are.   Their collectiveness naughtiness lies in teh reclaiming of expenses from party fund – (ie party funs given by…

It’s getting silly now.  Old Mr Toad is so busy hedging his bets, he makes no sense.  Yesterday he hijacked a press conference for the new Bruno Vespa book ( no1 brown nosed journalist fan anf author of 3 books a year that make Jeffrey Archer look like a researcher) and told us that he…

Dr Death, alias Ghedini, Berlusconi’s lawyer was in court yesterday, producing all his witnesses who say that Berlusconi’s evenings are high culture with nothing remotely sordid going on. 1st on the list of witnesses was Ruby herself, the young lady who Berlusconi thought was the niece of President Mubarak and more than 17 years old.…

uncle steptoe tells us that the spread is a con and a lie – and is something that we shouldnt give a toss about.  Hmmmm  –  it may be so for a multi billionaire, but for mere mortals with a mortgage, a loan,  and who require public services that rely on borrowing money, it is…

So it’s not just the Maya who can make prophecies.  I predict that monti will stand and take the centre ground.  The AN will splinter and take the hard right.  The left with Bersani will have a hard time keeping their share, and will inevitably drift to the left.  The IDV of Di Pietro will…

Monti has resigned, after the disgraceful show put on by Alfano at the behest of mr Toad last Friday.  So we now have elections in Ferbruary with Steptoe ‘ out to win’    The markets tomorrow will have a field day.  At least Monti does no longer have his hands tied and can say what…

So Mr Toad was to stand up in parliament yesterday and lambast Monti, a clear start to his election campaign, but at the last minute he bottled it and sent the lapdog Alfano to do his bidding.   Poor Silvio doesnt know what to do – he doesnt want to bring down Monti with a…
