Curiouser and curiouser. Reliable Chinese websites say that Mr. Bo (not Mrs Bo) ordered a lackey to do Neil Heywood in with cyanide drops. Very low tech – even the Bulgarians knew how to use ricin on the end of a brolly. And Vlad Vlad Putin’s guys trailed Polonium 201 all the way from Moscow to London to let Litvinenko know he was facing extreme prejudice. Yet Mrs Bo is accused of homicide and Mr Bo only of “disciplinary infractions”. Maybe if you’re a Politburo princeling, murder of running dogs is OK. Inscrutable these Middle Kingdomers.
It was only a matter of time, I guess before suggestions came to light that Neil Heywood OH was cuckolding his most important connection. Very risky maneuver that.
The world is a surreal experience. The tragic Norse Saga of remorseless Anders Breivik has kicked off in Oslo court. He’s mad enough to start with a Sieg Heil salute (maybe with closed fist) and pitch the self-defense defense. Which must be evidence enough that he’s mad as the proverbial hatter and should be locked up in a very safe place sine die. Amazing he could have caused such dreadful mayhem without accomplices. How many forensic psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? Does it really matter if he’s legally sane or not – the consequence should be the same? Quite a contrast with the ongoing trial of Bunga Bunga Berlusconi in Milan. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/silvio-berlusconi/9206952/Showgirls-performed-nun-striptease-for-Silvio-Berlusconi.html Dada the rocking horse rides again; a naked nun perched Godiva-like side-saddle.
Which of course leads us right back into the greatest Dadaist project of all the Euro-Arts – the Euro and to its siren Christine au foulard (did Hermès make that thing?) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9204049/IMF-chief-Christine-Lagarde-will-struggle-to-bag-more-funds-for-a-firewall.html and her Louis Vuitton begging bag. Looks like her relationship with little tax-cheater Geithner has gone frosty, so it must be a relief that handsome Georgie of the Exchequer is ready to fill in with a kiss on both cheeks http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/9205917/George-Osborne-ready-to-offer-10bn-extra-firepower-for-the-IMF.html (or maybe they’re going in for a lip smack?) and £10 billion of down-and-out UK taxpayers moula to get the begging bag ball rolling. That should play well in Slough. The sight of OE’s Camborne (cf Merkozy – not the fine Cornish borough of my birth) sucking up to the Brusselscrats is not an encouraging sign.
The Spanish can usually be relied on for their own piece of Euro-farce. King Juan Carlos, after falling over while shooting a Botswana elephant, came up lame himself and had to be rushed back to Madrid to be fitted up with two new hips. Neatly jumping the long waiting in line time for Spanish plebes to be treated. Crazy guys those Borbon’s. Too much recoil from his double-rifle 470 Nitro-Express no doubt. Playing at being Teddy Roosevelt is not for cissies.
Should be about time for Cristina in the Casa Rosada to do something eye catching in memory of Juan & Evita just to prove the world is sane and rational after all. Going for Repsol while Mariano is distracted and King Juan Carlos indisposed could be a very shrewd maneuver.
