Cristina – you go girl. Nothing like whacking the Spaniards when they’re down to make friends and influence people. Interesting move pushing the UK and Spain together over the Malvinas (Maldives according to the POTUS). At least Hugo Chavez is a fan. Taking on Spain, the EU, Mexico and that great Euro-heavyweight (avoir-dupois not intellect) Barroso is quite a feat to pull off.

More nonsense from the man who broke the Bank of England. “The Euro crisis started as a collapse of the US banking system – then compounded by divergent competitiveness”. Which presumably is Soros-speak for it’s all Dubya’s fault. No suggestion the Euro-crisis started when the French importuned Kohl to sign up for Maastricht as the price of reunifying the FRD and East Prussia.

A somewhat different take on the Bo/Wang/Heywood “affair”. No suggestion that Bo ordered the hit on Heywood, nor that the “affair” involved Heywood in amourous adventure with Bo’s missus. More that he, Heywood OH, had threatened Mrs. Bo with exposure for moving funds abroad (doesn’t everyone do it – especially Politburo princelings?). So Mrs. Bo ordered a flunky to whack the Brit. Call in the cyanide drops. Enter police chief/head Bo enforcer Wang. Discovered some truth about the hit not being an alcohol induced heart attack, Mrs Bo’s dabs all over the evidence and spilled his guts to Bo (with a hidden threat of some sort one might assume). So Bo demoted Wang; bringing the house down when Wang fled to the only safe place he knew, the US Consulate in Chengdu. Washing Politburo dirty laundry in the US Consulate is prima facie treason. The remedy for which is instant cremation – sentence first, trial later yelled the Queen. You couldn’t write this stuff for TV!

Not too credible – why on earth would Heywood threaten Mrs. Bo – his money spigot? I prefer the cuckolding theory.
