What is wrong with politics in Spain?

[Nova]

   Hell, why haven't the Spanish revolted with such a bunch of  running the country??

1) They don't because they can't recognize a as being something unusual.

2) But they are revolting.

Brilliant smiley - hadn't seen it before.  Love it.

BTW can we have a light bulb smiley?  I couldn't find one the other day.  Light bulb as in, the light bulb went on.

Not perfect but what about one of these for starters? Just need to make the background transparent.

I've added the last little guy - I'm not in the mood for faffing with transparent backgrounds right now but I'll have a play with the others when I am

The 'Keeper of the PP ledgers' Snr Barcenas has flown to Canada for a 'holiday' However in the last 24 hours it's emerged that inquires have reviled he has bank accounts in Canada and Norway as well as the one in Switzerland they already knew about. So his 'Holiday' to Canada is looking very suspect

I have a vision of a very mucky snow ball rolling down a slope towards a house of cards.

He's just been "remanded in custody". He's going to jail to await his fraud trial.

I have little faith that he will stay there for more than a couple of days. He has to many friends in high places that have to much to lose if he opens his mouth big time.
I suspect that his trial, guilt and sentence have already been dictated. I think he will get 12 months of which he will serve less than 3 months probably more like one month then he will be released on compassionate grounds (his wife stubbing her toe or something like that) he may get  house arrest for a another couple of months then he will get a secret pardon from Rajoy as he leaves office at the next election.

All that will be arranged for his silence. Plus the 'investigation' will be instructed to only 'find' half his bank accounts. The case will be closed and that's that.

Now call me cynical!!

Apparently there's a new denuncia now against Bárcenas ... for threatening a lawyer (as I understand it).

Someone might help me out here because I've lost the plot a bit. Apparently the denuncia fell to the duty Court which has passed it on to whatever Court is appropriate, but the issue is that as Bárcenas was being led out to go to the van to be taken to jail, he approached the prosecution lawyer who'd called for his imprisonment, and spat out the words "el socialista me va a encontrar" ...

now this has clearly been taken as a threat, and I thought at first it must be a threat against some PP politicians whereby he was going to spill the beans to the opposition, in which case I was wondering who it was he meant by "the socialist is going to find me". But the lawyer has taken it as a threat against himself ...

Any ideas??  Am I missing something obvious?
