The shakedown

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi tells Europe to pay him €5 billion a year to stop "illegal immigration".

Translation: Pay the Danegeld or I invade.

I seem to recall Gaddafi behaving himself after a few bombs were dropped on his house and when a brother dictator was toppled from power and he thought he was next on the list.

Maybe it's time he was given another little lesson.

Five billion euros, with either the correct, or the goofy British number of zeros, will buy a lot of bombs. Not that I'm seeing the kind of leadership that would actually use them that way or anything.

You're worried about an invasion from a man who once employed Billy Carter and dresses like Michael Jackson?
