Italiafile – for italophiles.

Ive been quiet because Ive watching the red cross deliver food parcels in the UK and witnessed the giveaway of the Royal Mail which , at least until now, hasn’t happened in ITaly.   Instead we have our 77 years old wrinkled one and Dudu plotting to bring down the government.  Again.  So sure is…

Apparently all Silvios lackeys have signed their resignation letters ready to hand in if Silvio gets chucked out of the Senate. They’re talking about a coup d’etat- but forget that coup d’etat is about overthrowing a government. Silvio’s delusions of power make him forget that he isnt the government, he’s merely the opposition HAVING LOST…

Poor Silvio, he’s now completely out of touch with reality.  He is now saying that the left are staging a coup d’etat – but fails to remember that he isnt in government.  The left have what is commonly called a majority, Silvio – you lost the election, and therefore do not govern the country.  Capeeto?…

16 minutes of a rancorous OAP telling us how fabulous he is. Thats what we were treated to last night, a sort of ‘one foot in the mouth’- Made up to look like Lenin’s corpse Silvio regaled us with his thoughts on the world. We have, we are told, had our rights eroded and democracy…

Theres a bit of the Nick Ross about Guido Bertolaso – he was the one who was meant to reassure the Italians to sleep safely when there was a bloody great earthquake in Aquila.  The one who told everyone that a big earthquake wasnt going to happen.  Except that it did.  The one who wasnt…

New week, new threats. Today isnt the day, but its a day when Berlo will launch/relaunch Forza Italia, and which therefore means a video message to be played in its entirety on Mediaset networks with edited highlights in Rai. The relaunch of Forza Italia is fraught with problems for the old saggy one. Not least…

Today could be the day – after much shuffling of feet and wailing it looks like there might be a decision. ANd its going to cause problems. The lawyers of Silvio started by saying the the Severini law – which says that someone definitively sentenced cannot hold public office – was unconstitutional and non retroactive.…

Silvio has recorded his video message apparently.  Like Mussolini he is going to address the nation, haranguing the poor Italians into believing that he has been mistreated.   He wants to make the government fall because he doesnt want to be punished for the crime he has committed.  I believe the word is ‘Diddums’  but…

Apparently he didnt say that.  No matter that it was recorded, cited word for word and replayed on all the news programmes, Silvio absolutely denied every having said it.  A left wing plot to twist his words apparently.  So he won’t make the government fall after all.  He will support the government he says….. oh…

Having crowed victory over the cancellation of IMU, Silvio has returned to his posturing.  He now says that if the senate vote against him on the ruling of being excluded from the senate for being a criminal, he will make the government fall.    A few hundred years ago this would be classed as high…
