He’s very wise to keep his head held high. I believe the number instances of head lice in prison pillows is deplorable.

Including covers of such hits as “Immigrant Song”, “I’m a Slav To Your Love”, “Legally Blonde”, and “American Idiot”?

Interesting that no UK prime ministers have been caught with their hands in the till but it seems quite common here?

This is what Sarkozy has been found guilty of… criminal conspiracy/association de malfaiteurs

Une décision historique. Pour la première fois, un ex-président de la République ira en prison, a décidé le tribunal de Paris jeudi. Nicolas Sarkozy a été condamné à cinq ans de prison pour « association de malfaiteurs » dans l’affaire du financement libyen de sa campagne de 2007, avec mandat de dépôt différé assortie d’une exécution provisoire. L’ex-chef d’État n’ira donc pas derrière les barreaux tout de suite : il sera convoqué le 13 octobre pour fixer la date de son incarcération.

A historic decision. For the first time, a former president of the Republic will go to prison, a Paris court ruled Thursday. Nicolas Sarkozy was sentenced to five years in prison for “criminal conspiracy” in the Libyan financing of his 2007 campaign, with a deferred committal order and provisional execution. The former head of state will therefore not go behind bars immediately: he will be summoned on October 13 to set the date of his incarceration.

I think it’s only relatively recently that British politicians at the top have possibly been on the make like that.

Plenty to catch here in the Uk but nothing will ever be done, plenty more snouts to use the trough.

They’re going to get Madame Guillotine out for the occasion, just in case​:rofl:

And the UK doesn’t really have the laws to catch them. I can’t think of an equivalent of association with malefactors, for example.

I imagine those who make the laws will not be falling over themselves to make laws that fit today’s Parliamentary misbehaviours.
