Old School politics

It's nice to know, in this furiously changing world, that some things are immutable. Italian politics for example. It was deeply cheering to see that Il Cavalieri had appointed a former Miss Italy to the post of Europe Minister. It's equally nice to see that the little traditions of domestic politics haven't changed either.

A horse’s head was found outside the office of an Italian politician yesterday, in a scene reminiscent of the The Godfather.

Let's just hope the Mayor is a reasonable man eh...
