Italiafile – for italophiles.

Ive been away on a long parliamentary weekend .- How time flies when berlusconi isnt trying to be the centre of attention.  He is still at work behind the scenes though – trying to get a general election in the spring and pour huge amounts of money into the Great Forza Italia Bake Off 2.0…

So the saggy ancient one has returned to his lair to sup on virgins blood or some such, and in the quiet moments we have before he launches an anti European tirade, let’s catch up on some other news. The repellent Daniela Santanche has been found guilty of being deeply unpleasant and fined 1100 euros…

Its not so much a request as an order.  The old letcherous  one is mobilising his dervishes for the big vote this week, and the end of the world.   We have a demo against the magistrates, Silvio will pass to the opposition and declare war on Italy and his entire tv network will be…

So much has hit the fan recently, that it has given up under the weight.  Last night, at only hours before Berlo’s launch of the new Forza Italia, it all went wrong.  Alfano (the dauphin or dolfin as he is called here (you will get the very animalistic terminology later)  – has split from Berlo…

So lots of data being bandied around.  Ultimately it’s all depressing.  It is now officially easier to run a business in Botswana than in Italy.   Unemployment will rise further, the GDP will fall even more and Italy is now 23 out of 27 European countries for culture.   The usual argument of ‘it costs…

Silvios gotta munk on as we would say in Yorkshire.  He’s not happy – livid in fact because there was too much democracy going on yesterday.  There was a vote, which was won by non Berlo people, and thats anti democratic.   They voted as to whether the committee which has to decide if Berlo…

So, we have a committee that can’t decide on how to vote, a senate which must vote but don’t know how  A Senile old Goat who is planning on make it all come crashing down around our ears, because he refuses to be fed to the wolves.   The same old argument is trotted out…

Despicable Him, had a press conference yesterday afternoon and decided to plunge Italy back into the mire from which is slithered on 2 October.  Silvio cancelled the Popolo della Liberta and reformed Forza Italia, with him as President and all the other positions within the party cancelled.  Which means that Alfano is no longer important.…

This harmless looking gonk is one of the most duplicitous nasty pieces of work in parliament.  He is Casini,  man of the centre, and UDC – that is a Christian democrat.  This means they spout moralistic bollox and ignore all of it in a desperate attempt to stay in power.  Casini is the arch DC…

This is Dudu and Pascale – one of which is the consort of Silvio.   According to tv interviews with her ex bezzie yesterday however, it would appear that not only does Silvio not love her, but she also has a bit of a sapphic tendency.  La Pascale is suing the tv programme and her…
