Wow...
I didn't know we (Italians) had a saying now.
So, 'Do an Italy' means to vote for someone or something against interest? Good!

Strangely, I'm not surprised.

I thought it meant to pull out of a war two years early.

No, it means to change sides at the very end of a war.

Playing Hearts of Iron 3 has taught me things that I value, one relevant to this discussion is that fighting a war as the Italians is rather difficult.

Yeah, if we hadn't split the Reicht's forces along the entire world, Hitler would have won!

I feel sad that all Italy is good at is slandered stereotypes.
We have nice things too!
Like Scientists discovering things...out of Italy.
Like politicians getting somewhere...out of Italy.

Oh all right!
Italians are good!

Ever seen one of their cooks 'cooking Italian' with all those spices and garlic and oil?
Damn!

We got an Italian prime minister here, and apart from the fact he can barely speak the language used my most of the population, he's decent.

You see, that's the problem.
Real Italians, the good deal, emigrate elsewhere.
The 'Bad Italians' remain in Italy.
Thus the end-result of Italy now.
We could theoretically try and 'expel' the Bad-Italians.
We would be without a parliament by the next day, half the people working in the government would be banished and there would be quite the chaos among the 'retired' guys who went in retirement at 35 years...
but hey, it would then become the world's problem.

Spoiler: Nigel Farage is driven out of Scotland by baying mob. (click to show/hide)

He planned on trying to boost his popularity north of the border. Instead he met face to face with the Scottish left who chanted "Ukip scum off our streets" and "Nigel, you're a bawbag, Nigel you're a bawbag, na, na, na, hey!". Their numbers apparently included Labour, SSP and Radical Independence activists.

One gentleman, only a few feet away from Mr. Farage, suggested that he "shove the Union jack up his arse".

Mr. Farage responded:

Quote
"Clearly this is anti-British, anti-English. They even hate the union jack."

He tried to turn it into an Anti-English thing (as opposed to a radical leftist, anti racist thing), saying to a reporter:

Quote
"We've never ever, ever had this kind of response. Is this a kind of anti-English thing? It could be,"

He was then escorted from the premises in a police van for his own protection, after the police suggested that he barricade himself into a nearby pub.

But, ultimately, there is only one thing that I can say to Mr. Farage being sent homewards to think again:

Fuckin yaaaaaaaaaaaaasssss

A notable Scottish comedian noticed responses like yours and suggested that we play a game of Farage tennis. He also said some rather unseemly things about what else we ought to do, of course.
