Stranger and Stranger.....

Yes, the strange ways of the political world. Read this morning that Berlusconi, the Italian PM, has unveiled a plaque opening a section of the 2,000 kilometre North African Coastal Highway. This has been paid for by taxing the Italian oil company drilling for oil off the north Libyan coast.

Italy is poised now to become the major beneficiary of future trade deals with Libya.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Brown releases the Lockerbie mass murderer, al-Magrehi, (he may say it was a Scottish decision, yeah) and Jack Straw is denying any trade deals were part of the deal to release the mass murderer. I can well believe that of our inept government.

So we are compassionate and get nothing while the tricky Berlusconi grabs all the goodies!

Suppose that's what political correctness is all about, getting shafted all the time.
