I see what you mean... Nick Clegg has had sex with 'no more' than 30 <groan> :roll:

Jack London- 04-01-2008

Woman thankfully, rather than men, which makes a refreshing change for a Lib Dem!

Percy- 04-01-2008

Oh god - the Italianisation of British politics has already started. You view this sordid little revelation to a hated hack (as in Clegg: "ooops - did I really say that?") in a positive light...

Tony- 04-01-2008

...no more than 30... probably a lot less? So wonder how that makes the women he's slept with feel then? Nondescript? Unimportant? Unremarkable? Pointless? I wonder if he could name any of them? Or were they just a few he 'met' during dogging sessions?

Jack London- 04-06-2008

Interesting article on Italian politics from today's Observer, which is very critical of the two main players, Berlusconi and Veltroni. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/apr/06/italy

Jack London- 04-11-2008

Berlusconi looks like he is heading for victory, but it could be close.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/apr/11/italy

Jack London- 04-12-2008

More from the Guardian on the Italian election. My candidate of choice, Santanche, is causing Berlusconi some headaches. Good! http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/apr/12/italy

Tony- 04-12-2008

By last night, local fan radios were humming to the indignant pro-*test*-('")s of Roma supporters, many of them rightwingers who could be expected to vote for Berlusconi's Freedom Folk. The billionaire candidate's movement, which includes most of Italy's former neo-fascists, is vulnerable in Rome and the surrounding region to a small, far-right breakaway group. Its candidate for prime minister is Daniela Santanchè, who has repeatedly needled Berlusconi and, this week, claimed he was obsessed with her, saying: "Anyway, I'll never give it to him." Her movement, the Right, is not the only one that could have an impact. Freedom Folk also risk losing votes to Pier Ferdinando Casini's Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC), which left the Berlusconi camp shortly before the campaign started. Veltroni's Democratic party is meanwhile vulnerable to a Marxist-Green alliance, the Rainbow Left. Talk about a bloody mess! This reads more like a set of clues for a Murder Mystery Weekend than a rundown of political prospects!

I wonder what she is not going to give to him!!

Tony- 04-12-2008

The antidote to the STD she gave him last time they met...

Jack London- 04-12-2008

Oooh, wait until I tell my Italian friends what you said about her!!

Tony- 04-12-2008

... and what about telling your muzzie friends what I've said about them? :wink:

Jack London- 04-12-2008

Very keen on death threats the muzzies are!! Also, on a more serious note, you are aware of a change in the law with regards such comments, Tony?

Tony- 04-12-2008

Oh, absolutely. I can't criticise anyone in case I provoke them into making threats to kill people - which is clearly permissible under current 'arrangements': a euphemism for transfer of sovereignty to violently peaceful religions.

Jack London- 04-13-2008

Spot on! I didn't realise you had such an erudite legal mind, Tony?
