I saw a stage managed scene this morning: Saif Al Islam Gaddafi walking and smiling in the street. No one approached him. He looked as though he fell from the sky and hardly knew where to go.

It is all very clear now how Saif Al-Islam got his PhD in Economics from the LSE.

It’s all a staged show. You can ask a certain EU commissioner about it.

Besides the hand gesture, why is Gaddafi behind Berlusconi’s back? And why is Silvio “I did not have sex with that prostitute” Berlusconi so happy?

Any sign of them?

Coincidentally gold watches seem to be part of the lavish security guard uniforms. Also worth noting is Gaddafi’s hand gesture behind Berlusconi’s back. Pictures speak louder than words.

Check Joey’s ‘PhD thesis’. Understand he wrote it in German.

Please hold your breath. Maltastar is investigating.

What a disgrace.

I cannot understand Italy. It has some great brains and some great companies, universities doing world-class research. It has brave people fighting their personal, private battles against corruption, organised crime and more. Yet the country cannot get out of the morass it’s in. The cold war is over, the compromises of the past are not needed anymore.

The LSE received “donations” from Gaddafi which are now viewed as having tainted its reputation.

I wonder if any enterprising Maltese journalist will take the PL on and carry out some research on whether it ever received similar donations. I won’t hold my breath.
