  • And we’re off..

    Berlusconi has ordered his servile horde to abstain on two votes today, one in the senate where an abstention counts as a ‘no’ and one in the ‘commons’.  THe PDL has effectively voted against the law on growth and the the law on development, all a precursor to a hefty no on  the upcoming law…

  • Here we go…

    ‘The country needs me’ ‘I am besieged by requests that I return to the fray’ ‘Only I can save the country’.  Words uttered by Uncle Steptoe this very night, as he prepares to announce his candidacy yet again.   It’s time to take to the streets if you dont want Italy to become THE laughing…

  • I dont belieeeeve it

    So, Mr Toad is to pull the plug on Monti and insist on an election day on Feb 11th apparently.  The reason behind this is  – choose one – a) that having regional and national elections at the same will save the electorate 100 million euros b) that having elections on the same day will…

Forza Italia 2.0 – like some shitty app you wish you had never downloaded.  Anyway this stunning idea Steptoe thinks will save the world.  HE is ditching most of the PDL –…

  • And I wear pink trousers

    A deeply depressing story yesterday, a 15 year old boy in Rome hanged himself because of the homophobic bullying he suffered at his lice (grammar school).  It seems that not only his classmates, who set up a facebook page called I wear pink trousers to ridicule the lad, but also his teacher provided the final…

  • Its like the telly innit

    There’s a fascinating story going on in Italy at the moment, which has yet to be picked up by the foreign press.  And it could be vast…. Heres what happened, though it only came out a couple of days ago. On the 16 October the personal accountant of Berlusconi was ‘kidnapped’ in his house by…
