Michael Gove: Now I read that good old BSM, the dullest of all driving schools, and one on which I relied, is ditching the dowdy old Vauxhall, for, of all cars, the Fiat 500. That’s like throwing over Polly Toynbee for La Cicciolina. I dunno: at least La Cicciolina got elected to something before she [...]

This is the kind of film for which the epithet 'interesting,' one I otherwise overuse, is made. Purportedly written and directed by La Cicciolina – and given the amateurishness of the latter in particular, with a severe overuse of zooms in and out, I see no reason to doubt this – its title refers to the porn company founded by Cicciolina and others in the mid 80s, whose manifesto is here...

E: Ok, so despite my express insistence to the contrary, La Cicciolina has just insisted on showing me pictures of a dreaded skin disease she appears to believe is called "mollusc - itis".

The news was buried deep inside the Roman news section of La Repubblica. None of the other papers even bothered with it: Cicciolina to go to jail. In the postage-stamp-sized photo, the tiny, peroxide-blonde, diva whose career has traced the history of Italy in the past 30 years clutched a Victorian doll, smiling the same too-broad, too-bright smile she has flashed at a thousand film cameras, the hard...
