Mrs. Alicia Lynn
Secretary,
Prime Minister World.
Should I be concerned that someone is now putting Italy – and its wealthiest citizen – on a moral par with Nigerian scam artists?
I do find the idea of “Prime Minister World” amusing, or perhaps alarming – is that like Disney World, but populated with big-headed puppets of prime ministers in place of Mickey and Goofy? That would indeed be a house of horrors.
