Sarko faces trail for corruption... SarkoBest to read the whole article but the Monaco highlight: Apparently/Allegedly, the thing never happenend, but if foreign (sort of...) countries are working to make Monaco a shady place for equally shady people, Monaco itself can just sit back and take another cocktail. |

Rarely would you find a native Monégasque involved though. It's like most countries with huge expat communities, you don't always attract anything but adventurers looking for shade. And then you have ambitious politicians or generals, and there's your whole hotbed for corruption. You wouldn't even notice a talented politician amid all the scandals because negativity is the news' breadwinner. It's just a sad career ender and it makes you wonder just how many statues in the future will be erected for modern politicians...? I see Boris Johnson's as a sofa wine spiller....

Ste-Dévote came and went, and got no comments on Noblesse & Royauté under not one but two posts. The kiddies wore cool shades on the balcony. Meanwhile, Jean Todt formerly of Ferrari received a medal, at a time when last week Daily Mail hinted at another beloved athlete, Michael Shumacher (if we can lump him with other sports figures that way) 😞 Anyhow, many comments for that bit of news with a focus on the reappearance of Albert's wife in something that reminded me somewhat of the school matron in Matilda. 🙊 www.noblesseetroyautes.com/fete-de-la-sainte-devote-a-monaco-2/( www.noblesseetroyautes.com/albert-de-monaco-decore-jean-todt/ ) |

According to this, Monaco costs the most to tax payers, Spanish people don't have much to complain about and people in Liechstenstein have it really good: www.cnn.com/2020/03/14/europe/european-royal-families-intl/index.htmlMind you, none of these figures are near the weekly costs to American taxpayers, of ferrying Trump to play golf with the secret service... |

monaco will have a hard time to recover, but they still have people like sleezy sir phil and there is yet another British billionaire moving there. Wonder if he will stay though with covid going for another round. he'll save billions in taxes, but locked up in a small space, when you could be enjoying a mansion and vast spaces instead....

Listening to the French morning news, they spoke of a town whose cemetery was washed away, taking graves downstream 10 km. On top of already being traumatic, this will scar families and witnesses for life. The increase in horrendous natural disasters, floods, hurricanes etc is not mere coincidence. There's a job to be done by civil engineers to begin fortifying against an unleashed Nature. It's horribly sad.

We contemplated moving into that valley at some point. they seemed to be less hit by floods and fires than other parts in the region. I'm still not getting why France still only has one way of providing electricity to the region. It has always surprised me how many powercuts we had. Not one since I moved here.
