It’s Only Berlusconi But I Like It

Guido would like to send his warmest congratulations to Silvio for being named Rolling Stone’s “Rock Star of the Year“. The magazine usually covers the goings on of the likes of U2 on tour.  It takes a true rocker to still be partying with teenage girls, enjoying lesbian foot massages and pleasuring hookers well into his seventies. He would probably throw televisions out of windows if he didn’t own them all.

Maybe if Murdoch chilled out a bit he might be in with a shot next year…

            I have done business with the wop Italians – in the middle of business meetings they would take out their phone and make calls right in the middle of the f’ing meeting.

            They are on a different planet – 50 govt’s since WW2 / tanks that only have reverse gear / beaten by Ethiopians with spears / paralysed by mafia .

            Berlosconi turns with posse of shaven headed Mafioso bodyguards and then performs lewd act in public and he’s running an EEC country?, ordinary Italians never get to see this stuff though because he controls all the media outlets, a bit like N.Korea with a smile. Berlosconi not in trouble again would be more accurate title.

            Diplomany (NOT!) you ar ethe tosser here. I;ve lived in Italy, I’ve had a long relationship with an Italian, I know a bit about the country.

            If an Itaslian was taking calles during a meeting with you, he was no doubt intimating in the witty Italian way that you were of small importance to him

            It doesn’t matter how many Govts they have- they still rule themselves according to the old ‘city states’ system and each Provincia has its own laws and govt, from the bottom (commune0 up. What the temporary national Govts decide has very little effect on the people.

            Secondly, the Italians were on the Allied side in WWI and fought valiantly in the mountain passes to hold back the Germans – more of them died than on the Western front, fighting with nil equipment and almost no clothes or boots – so get youir facts right. In WWII great swathes of the country (eg Tuscany and Romagna-Emilia) were very anti Fascist and suffered terribly for it.

            They also lost a lot fewer Jews than comparable countries eg France and Poland, because the population hid and sheltered them – which took real courage

          The crisis started in America, AIG Financial Products’ regulator is the US Office of Thrift Supervision. However the instruments that AIG Financial Products traded, CDS (credit default swaps) are exempt from US regulation. AIG FP wrote 400 billion dollars of CDS’s. That’s why AIG went pop and is owned now by the US government, isn’t it?

            Master Baiter = Pathological Denial

            repeating your mantra 15 times a day still doesn’t make it true

            Gordon Brown’s regulatory regime (regardless of where it started) allowed banks to lend without proper debt provision. Gordon now has it “in” for the City of London, when the banks that fucked up are Royal Bank of Scotland, The Bank of Scotland, Northern Rock, Halifax and Bradford and Bingley that were all based out of London.

            Every Labour government in history has increased public debt and unemployment with the resulting economic crisis.

            This government takes more of our earnings than any other governemnt in history.

            Poor people are poorer.

            This government is rescueing big busniess using government money for the second time in a decade.

            McGroom,
            Go and do the homework.
            The Conservitude Party is entwined passionately and literally with the financial spivs.

            It is a global crisis and it did start in America. RBS and HBOS loans have not defaulted, American loans have. Those defaulting loans were packaged in to securities and rated AAA by American ratings agencies thanks to being ‘guaranteed’ by CDS’s ‘insured’ by AIG (American International Group). The packaged and AAA rated securities infected the world financial system which consequently seized up.
            These are irrefutable truths, isn’t it?

            Master Baiter never attempts to explain that all of the Labour front bench are now millionaires after most entered Parliament as poor as church mice.

            Cameron should have said at PMQ’s yesterday that the Labour front bench would be significant beneficaries of inheritance tax as well.

            Remember it was Mandy that said he was “intensely relaxed at people getting filthy rich under Labour”

            Suddenly Labour have a problem with a Tory carrying out govrnment policy

            ..and you should get over where is started, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is what Labour are doing about about it now. The fact the the UK is the only G7 country still in recession reveals the Labour isn’t working

            BAD statistics. Emigration success is very low, they return. Especially when the pound becomes weak.

            The net numbers are about 200,000 arrivals per year. These are the ones they know about. If you jump off ferries you do not count!

          • Samantha says:

            Most of those emigrating are exactly the clever, motivated, well-educated people we need to get us out of this mess. The rest are likely to be retired people taking their spending money out of the country. And a few are no doubt recent immigrants, going home because they have worked hard and saved, and likewise taking money out to spend elsewhere

            And those arriving???……. hhmm
            Maybe if they could speak English we’d know if they had any intelligence – and were likely to be contributors rather than takers

          • Budgie says:

            Master Baiter omits to admit that Liebore has been in power over 12 years, and Gordoom was Chancellor for the first 10 years.

            Ten whole years! More than any 20th century Chancellor (next was Lloyd George at 7 years) – plenty of time to change any Tory legislation he fancied.

            In fact McDebt boasted of his prowess, and of his responsibility – but only whilst the times looked good. Gordoom had so much time he doubled the size of “Tolley’s Yellow Tax Handbook” with all his extra tax complications.

            It is typical of McDebt’s cowardice and incompetence that he tried to take the credit resulting from the sound economy he inherited from the Tories, but when the bust came 10 years later – which he had boasted he had eliminated – it was supposedly someone else’s fault.

            McBruin’s behaviour is contemptible; and Liebores’ sloganised excuses for him are the dribblings of ignorant and tribalist sycophants.

          The Italians know exactly what he is. They voted for him because they THINK he can sort out the economy, they don’t care about his personal or business life.

      He makes £ 10 for Italy and peels a few percent off for himself – the country wins. He’s a commission merchant, and all are winners.

      Gordon on the other hand follows a twisted ideology that has caused severe long-term damage to “his” country, and blinded by his dream repeatedly wounds the country he purports to serve.

      “Berlusconi takes a cut from my purse, and steals trash; ’tis something, nothing;
      ‘Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
      But Gordon Brown filches from me my means to trade
      Robs me of that which not enriches him,
      And makes me poor indeed.” .

            Only with Oleg Gordiesky did we find out how much so.

            Jack Jones was a spy – the country is littered with long term sleepers and while the Berlin Wall demolition in ’89 was a surprise for Russia,these sleepers continue bringing havoc to our country.

          SB is anything but senile.

          I met him a few years back at a party in Rome – it turns out we have an acquaintance in common. He was as smooth as you’d imagine him to be; we spent a couple of minutes chatting then he moved on.

          Two years later, at another party, Silvio was there. Not only did he remember my name, he remembered lots of details from the conversation we’d had.

          Don’t forget that many Italians view government as something that’s optional. They expect politicians to be corrupt and hypocritical. SB isn’t a hypocrite. He’s generally hated by the left because he’s lively, smart, successful, and just doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him. Everyone knows what he is and what he’s like: but unlike most politicians he doesn’t try to pretend to be upright and moral – and a lot of Italians I know find that an attractive trait.

          • Animal says:

            In a perverse way if we had any politician here who didn’t try to pretend that they were perfect they would do pretty well too.

            The problem is that no-one dares to admit this.

          • Animal says:

            Quite so Steve.

            One day someone in Government is going to wake up, realise that these countries should be allowed to deal with the murdering, hate-filled scum that poison the minds of others and process a ream of express deportation orders. Rather like Italy.

            If the UK wants to be truly popular with countries in the Middle East then let them have the opportunity to enact their laws on their criminals, not harbour them here and then indulge in hand wringing when they continue to their vile trade on these shores.

          • Steve Expat says:

            I agree AC1 that there is certainly a problem with a huge number of radicals in the UK, but a bigger problem with the moderates unable to distance themselves from the extremists, preferring to stand up for their “Brothers”.

          • Steve Expat says:

            MB, Oil paid a big part in Iraq and has certainly not helped the situation – but what happened on 11/9/01 predated all this.

            Oil also ensured that we tread carefully with the Saudis (where did the hijackers come from again?), when we would have bombed them if there were no oil there.

            Also worthy of mention is the unreserved and partial support for Israel when a more pragmatic approach critisising both sides on occasion would have helped keep the peace – this is starting to change now under Obama, very much for the better in the region.

          • Master Baiter says:

            Budgie, don’t forget Venezuela!

          • Europe get’s it’s oil from the Middle East, hence it’s support for Saddam, and “No War, (in exchange For Oil)”. America gets its oil from Canada.

    SEEM FAMILIAR? JUST INSERT THE WORD BANKSTER FOR PETRO AND FINANCE FOR OIL AND RE-READ!

    http://allafrica.com/stories/200911260211.html

    The third major characteristic of petro states is the skewing of social structures as oil induced social formations begins to emerge. The growth of a local indigenous property owning class, a sector of society necessary to stand up to dictatorships, is choked. As oil money comes directly into the hands of rulers of the state and foreign interests, local entrepreneurs are starved. Privileged linkages to the state, not entrepreneurship, determine whom, among the local population, accesses wealth. Foreign companies dominate the middle and upper sectors of a petro state social structure.

    Likewise, the development of a local working class, conscious of its rights, is slowed by the sociology of the petro state. As wealth distribution is managed by the state and is not dependant on the amount of entrepreneurship or labour but on ethnic or primordial loyalties, negative attitudes towards labour develop. Semi-skilled or menial labour jobs are shunned and slave labouring like foreigners are often invited to the petro state to do this type of work. In Gulf States, for example, foreigners do 60-90% of menial, domestic, construction, industrial and professional work. The major impact of this division of labour is a reduction in local professional diversification, class consciousness and, ultimately, lack of interest in political participation.

    Changes of governments in these states are often palace revolutions or military coups that do not lead to the political empowerment of the population.

    The fourth characteristic of petro states and banana republics is regime endurance or longevity in power. Individual rulers of petro states govern for decades due to the concentration of economic and political power in the hands of the state and the slow growth of political transition structures.

          • thick as thieves says:

            the IRA was a far, far more dangerous terrorist group concerning this country than alqaeda.
            the IRA killed over 3000 people during their campaign against the British Government.
            at some points during the conflict the IRA were killing up to 27 British soldiers a month.
            our occupation of Afghanistan is acting as a recruiting sergeant for alqaeda. it is recruiting radicalised British citizens and residents but it is nowhere near the organisation that the IRA was.
            indeed, it was the military presence in Northern Ireland that triggered the charge of an occupation and when an army occupies residential areas things always get very fucking nasty and vicious because the occupier must constantly manifest their dominance.
            we should begin a negotiated orderly withdrawal from Afghanistan with the non-negotiable demand that the taliban immediately expel alqaeda fighters from their territories.
            this is america’s dirty war. let her fight her own battles for a change.

    Things are going from bad to worse for Calamity Cameron:

    Mothers ridicule ‘awful’ David Cameron for dodging questions in web chat

    Source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/11/20/mummy-dummy-115875-21835881/

    “David Cameron took a battering when he staged a web chat on hit internet site Mumsnet yesterday.

    Angry mothers accused the Tory leader of being evasive, patronising and out of touch.

    They took Mr Cameron to task for everything from plans to give married couples tax breaks to his private wealth and education.

    He was repeatedly accused of dodging a question about support for disabled children.

    Riven replied: “I’m guessing you don’t remember because you didn’t have to count every penny”. Mum Slug, said: “Why do you think ordinary people should vote for a bunch of white, upperclass, privately-educated (preferably from Eton) millionaires?”

    A mother using the name mrsdennisleary, accused the Tories of treating unmarried couples like “second class” families. And a single mother calling herself Colditz warned: “David Cameron will leave us to starve, girls.”

    Mr Cameron was accused of showing indifference for failing to answer a question about our troops.

    One poster, Herbietea, said: “You obviously don’t care about the Armed Forces and their families.”

    Mums delivered a string of damning verdicts after the Tory leader went offline. One, ilovemydogandmrobama, asked: “Can you imagine if he was that unprepared for Prime Minister’s Questions?”

    Tattycoram said: “He was awful.”

    Noddyholder added: “Good Lord, he was hopeless.”

    There was anger that Mr Cameron started the session late and seemed not to have read questions posted on the site in advance.

    Mums were frustrated with his slow answers, moaning he was not as on the ball as Gordon Brown who recently took part. RTKanga-Mummy said: “Brown deffo better. David deffo lost lots of votes today.”

    THREE themes came together is Kensington Town Hall last Saturday night – they were Third World Solidarity, the Poetry Olympics and the Muslim celebration of Eid in an event of performance poetry and music.

    Too often English audiences are deterred from poetry performances by bad poetry badly presented. Poetry is for everyone but like any other art form is requires some thought and effort from the creator and the presenter.

    I remember a peace rally in 1991 in Woolwich Town Hall that was almost entirely cleared by a recital from veteran peace campaigner Pat Arrowsmith.

    No one doubted her courage or credentials as a fighter for peace but she was not a wordsmith.

    She was about to go out to the Gulf and interpose herself between two front lines to try to prevent the impending war.

    We wondered if her “poetry” was the magic weapon to send both frontlines into rapid retreat.

    The “Mirror” has ripped David Cameron after he dramatically lost his cool in a heated exchange with the influential newspaper:

    We will not take lessons in political independence from Tory leader David Cameron

    By Voice Of The Mirror 26/11/2009

    David Cameron asked our reporter yesterday why she didn’t work for an “independent paper”.

    The Tory leader’s memory must be faulty as he very publicly declared himself in thrall to a right-wing newspaper and its billionaire owner just two months ago.

    We will not take lessons in political independence from a man who drafts policy to suit the business agenda of a global media group.

    Crucially, Mr Cameron failed to address questions over his party’s finances and the charge that Tory policies only benefit the wealthy.
