British Political Lies Vs Italian Political Lies

Ah, the contrasting politics of Europe: In Britain an MP is in trouble for claiming a £5 donation as expenses; whereas in Italy, dearest Silvio has managed to block the release of photos of topless girls at his New Years party.

British politics are so boring. Our politicians can't even get away with trying to claim back £5! Silvo's living like rockstar! We used to have an Empire! What happened to our capacity for corruption?


But there is one British politician who even Silvio can not compete with:

In Mexico he is simply known as, 'El Bandito del Sonrisa Gato'. The Native Americans call him 'He who speaks with the sincerity of snakes'. In ancient Babylonian scripture his coming is foretold as 'The Great Tide of Bullsh*t'.

I speak of no other than the crowned prince of shiftiness: Tony Blair. Let's remind ourselves of one of his greatest lies.


Ah Silvio, you gifted, funny amateur. Will you ever learn to lie with that much sincerity?
