President Sarkozy

[Paigntonian]

on his way to prison for a year. Extraordinary.

"ich, do you really need to ask that? "

I don't see why it's "extraordinary" exactly. What is it about M Sarkozy that makes it unbelievable that he might be guilty of corruption?

[ichkeria]

And it's not as if it's come out of the blue.
He's been in the news for a long time over this

Khandro 17.07 "...If you are living in Britain, you have drawn one of the best hands on this earth....." One of the most brazen attempts at a joke for some time. Why do Brits continue to choose to live elsewhere and come out with such obvious wash ? The exodus has been going on for centuries and continues to this day.

Alors! Mr. 'Bling' shines no more. Quelle surprise! Ditto the discovery that he won't actually be spending much, if any, time incarcerated. Bless the French! I learned to love their insouciance. As long as it looks and sounds OK, reality doesn't really matter.

KARL - the weather.

Khandro, will you be coming back to dear old Blighty soon?

[anneasquith]

Maybe America could follow the example .

[Khandro]

Atheist //will you be coming back to dear old Blighty soon?//

Like a shot if circumstances would allow.

Khandro - are you wanted for some serious crime in the UK?

[Hymie]

For all those who love the UK, and how honest/un-corrupted our leaders are – what surprises me is that for more than 60 years Private Eye has managed to produce a publication (printed every other week) detailing their dishonesty/corruption. And as I have pointed out before, that is only the stupid ones who have been caught out.

France - 24 ( yeah fronts van-cat) said - un an en prison ferme

it isnt - fermay - he can do it at home which isnt v fermay to me,

[Peter Pedant]

well private eye has a french counterpart ( homologue apparently) Canard Enchaine
which isnt as biting as P E
and when did Richard Ingrams and his cohorts uncover govt fraud?

(I submitted an anagram to PE - Richard Ingrams = ignoramus errs
It didnt win. It is also a few letters short but I ascribed that to fabled Private Eye inaccuracy)

[Hopkirk]

So he's not allowed to leave home. Sounds like most of the world at the moment.

[Khandro]

Hymie; years ago I found Private Eye to be rather a juvenile publication, particularly since the loser Hislop took command, it has always seemed to me lacking in moral probity & integrity, I therefore turned to something embodying higher integrity & scrupulousness, - The Beano.

[Zacs-Master]

And Brietbart. Don’t forget your honest unscrupulous source of news, Khandro!

[Khandro]

Zacs-Master, Why do you do it? what is wrong with you?

[Zacs-Master]

It's my automatic 'irony / hypocrisy' detector, Khandro. Stop posting contradictory rubbish and I'll have nothing to comment about. Easy.

[Khandro]

Tolling, is not only disagreeable, it is the action of a coward & is actually against the rules of this site.
If you wish to contradict anything I have said, then speak up.

Paigntonian; Apologies, but this person has been trolling me on AB for two years.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Khandro -you are not special -he trolls everyone ;-)

[Khandro]

APG, Thanks, that's interesting.
