Jacques Santer - SPIV!

The Purple Scorpion notes that Jacques Santer, ex European Commission President, who was forced to resign, along with the entire Commission, amid allegations of corruption and fraud, has been appointed as Head of the eurozone’s ‘Special Purpose Investment Vehicle’.


Of course to those of us of a certain age a Spiv was someone of questionable ethics, so just for once perhaps the EU has made the right decision with this appointment.

A sort of similarity

The BBC produces a purported 'comedy' programme "Mock The Week", a programme begun in 2005.

For heaven knows how many decades politicians have been running a similar, but deadly, programme called "Mock The Weak".

And we complain about the Licence Fee..........?

Can we get a sense of proportion here, please? 

Just a suggestion............
