Let's All Invade Abyssinia

Recently cleansed from the Italian government and subject to various criminal charges ranging from defamation to kidnapping, the Italian race-baiter Matteo Salvini has apparently adopted the way of the Reverend Blair and joined the international lecture circuit. An organisation called Lega del Mondo, founded by himself and presumably dedicated to peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations, is pushing tickets for speaking events in the UK, at the very populist price of £28 each. The mayor of Liverpool, among others, has responded with some rather inhospitable comments, thereby justifying yet further the low opinions of that city and its region expressed on various occasions by the People's Haystack. There is no hint as yet that Priti Patel's Home Office intends banning Salvini from our shores either for hate speech or for being a crook, despite the obvious comic potential in such a move.
