Monday 17th January

The horny old goat and the jail bait hooker.

More shenanigans from the ageing hipster Silvio Berlusconi who again has made tabloid headlines both on the continent and here in the U of K. This time with a hooker or as she described in her own spin as a belly dancer named Karima El Mahroug. The young girl who was just 17 at the time has told investigators she attended a party at Silvio's villa near Milan where the guests were said to have indulged in a sordid sex game called "bunga bunga". Although there is no suggestion that the 74 year shafted the girl. But there is evidence that suggests Italian PM gave some cash, a diamond necklace and a car, possibly for bunga bunga. The investigation into this allegation only came about after the Egyptian siren was arrested on suspicion of theft and the most powerful man in Italy told the Fuzz she was the daughter of the Egyptian pres Hosni Mubarak. But as Berlusconi is the main media mogul in Italy and their papers would probably describe bunga bunga as the Italian version of singing around the camp fire.

Extradition still a possibility

The chap from Westbury on Trym in Bristol Shrien Dewani legal team still has not ruled out that he could be extradited to South Africa to face charges for his wife's murder. But only if his legal team's set of demands are met. These demands include no pre-trial imprisonment and if found guilty no imprisonment until an appeal has been lodged and concluded. To me this gives Dewani an opportunity to scarper to a place with no extradition treaties, so if found guilty he will not spend a day behind bars. These conditions I have read about appear to desperate actions of a desperate man. Dewani is due to appear in court on Thursday for a preliminary extradition hearing. I am going to be following this story closely and will keep you posted in due coarse.

Congresswoman Giffords Update.

The BBC reported that the forty year old politician who survived a shooting in Tucson has now been taken off of her ventilator her hospital released earlier today. She has had a tube inserted into her windpipe to make breathing easier. She is listed as critical but appears to be recovering her doctor's say. And on that news I shall finish but more tomorrow.
