    Let's all imitate Europe/UK, they seem to have no corruption, or so they claim.

    Rajoy = fund embezzlement
    Berlusconi = tax fraud

    Cameron = cash for PM questions

    “The difference tobi is they they went to jail”

    Evidently, (as a good Yank), Turnip at (3) has not the slightest idea who Mr. Rajoy is.....
    Or who Mr. Berlusconi is....
    Or who Mr. Sarkozy is....
    Or who Mrs Merkel is...
    Or who Mr. Cameron is...
