Very true.

Its because he passed a law that says over a certain age you can't get sent to prison I believe. Can't think which elderly reprobate he was concerned about. Democracy is a funny thing isn't it. Why on earth did the Italians ever think it was a good idea to keep electing someone who controlled such a big slab of the media. Can't imagine that happening in Wales where political cynicism seems to be part of the DNA but maybe it could. All a bit 1984 - a horrible warning about believing what we read in the papers and see on TV.

Blimey, he should be in a care home himself - solitary confinement, preferably...hmm

I hear on the News tonight that SB has been given 'community service' for some of his misdemeanours and these will be caring for pensioners at some Italian Care Home.

Well my older sister lives in Italy and I think she would hate it if he got his sticky mits on her.

I think all the young nurses and care staff should be warned of his arrival - pronto.
