Two weeks to the confidence vote and Berlusconi promises that the rubbish of Naples will disappear ‘within 14 days’.  Elsewhere the government is bleating that Wikileaks, the reporting of the state of Pompei, and Naples rubbish amounts to a concerted campaign to make Italy look bad.  The self absorbed Mr B doesnt realise perhaps that…

The Pope gave a talk yesterday from his window about the need to change our First World mentality – put the brakes on capitalism to protect the poor – stop our cities becoming places for only the super rich.  This would be the same Vatican that has evicted poor and disabled folk from their church…

So Berlusconi (and Emilio Fede) is by his own admission a dirty old man, now teetering on the edge of paedophilia, and today has outed himself as a homophobe – and he still doesnt see that he is a pathetic laughing stock of a man who doesnt deserve to be Prime Minister.  We can only…

The signs of presenile dementia are there – and Berlo does it again.  Two videos in one day of Berlusconi in public making antisemitic jokes, blaspheming (which in italy is the only thing that gets you thrown off Big Brother) and telling sexist jokes about members of parliament.  His lawyer, the vile Ghedini, says that…

The Saint Lucia document which damns Fini is getting more interesting by the minute.   If only we had The Guardian in Italy.  The Minister for Economics who says he wrote the letter and leaked it to the press (in one swoop ruining the country’s economy as a tax haven where revealing the account holders…

Not only Berlusconis birthday, but the day he has chosen to get his vote of confidence on the famous 5 points.  He is confident of his majority having bought up the waverers.  The main plank of the justice reform is gone – ie no convicted criminals in parliament… so a huge step backward there.Enough of…

Fini went on tv last night to defend himself against the trumped up charges that he is as bad as all the others.  I am no apologist for Fini, ex fascist, leader of teh Alleanza Nazionale and further to the right than i could ever lean, but he does have my respect.His points are that…

Not only the papers owned directly by B are cowed and scared of reporting what is happening in Italy.  Imagine this summers coverage – you have to grab the bigger picture…1 – Fini – the Speaker, the 3rd post of State, and erstwhile founder of the PDL and ally of Mr B decides enough is…

So, the bearded wunderkid Piersilvio Berlusconi has announced the Channel 5 autumn season, promising innovation and quality.  So to trumpet the innovative status of Channel 5 here are the new series.Big Brother 11, I Cesaroni 4, Peter Pan 2, Amici 5, C’è Posta Per Te – who knows but the umpteenth, in fact there is…
