Today (9/11/11) the yields on Italian ten year bonds reached 7.5%. This is just 0.5% below the point at which Italy becomes locked out of the bond markets and goes bankrupt. Therefore the question that's been on everyone's lips is will Italian Prime Minister Silvo Berlusconi recluse himself before the country is economically annihilated? Even the Italian President has publicly said that he expects Berlusconi's resignation within a week. Personally I'm torn because while he is on the brink of dragging the nation and possibly the world into very dark place I've always found his attempts to bat in the big leagues highly amusing.
In other news I've just returned from dinner with my mother. She was already aware of the situation with my grandmother and as a clinical manager at Croydon University Hospital (CUH) she is very much toeing the party line. However as a clinical manager she was unable to offer an explanation as to why the subject of an abuse investigation would be asked to make clinical decisions about the person they're accused of abusing. She was also unable to offer an explanation as to why a consultant would refuse a legal binding request for a psychiatric assessment.
