Will Berluscummy now tell us that the notoriously conservative Daily Telegraph has joined the left-wing conspiracy against him? What a joke....

Italian at centre of allegations about Silvio Berlusconi's love life claims she has been destroyed
Patrizia D'Addario lashed out at attempts to destroy her reputation by Mr Berlusconi's allies since she revealed salacious details emerged of the night she alleges to have spent with the prime minister in his palazzo in Rome. "I'm the only one who is telling the truth and by doing so I've become a Joan of Arc," she told the Daily Telegraph at a five star hotel in her hometown of Bari, a port on the Adriatic Sea. "I'm being sacrificed to a wicked and evil system. But I have courage and they will never break me. I have so much will to go on in life that they will never stop me. I could have blackmailed Berlusconi but I chose not to."
Pressed for details on the encounter, she said: "All I can say is that he was a likeable person. And we didn't get any sleep that night." Miss D'Addario initially refused to answer questions on the encounter but in recent weeks has put her side of the story during trips to Turkey, Spain and France. She hosted an evening entitled I Love Silvio at a Paris nightclub.
She has spent the last few weeks writing an autobiography which, she says, will offer more explosive details of her alleged relationship with Mr Berlusconi. "I've called it 'La Mia Vita' (My Life) and it's nearly finished," she said. "I was able to work hard on it because I haven't been going out and I haven't been sleeping much."
Mr Berlusconi's penchant for catapulting attractive young actresses into politics was a "strange" way of running a democracy, she conceded. "It may seem strange to foreigners but in Italy it's normal," she said. "It's a world of convenience, of favours." Before becoming involved in a scandal that has rocked Mr Berlusconi's centre-right government, Miss D'Addario earned a living as a high-end escort and as an events promoter, lending a touch of glamour to corporate parties and nightclub events.
As Mr Berlusconi began his annual holiday at his villa in Sardinia, she told the Daily Telegraph that she could no longer find work as an escort or model in Italy and that she wants to start a new life in London. Wearing a tight black dress and with dark sunglasses holding back her long blonde hair, Miss D'Addario burst into tears when she described how her 14-year-old daughter had refused to speak to her for the past two months. But the two were reconciled at the weekend, after Miss D'Addario travelled to Istanbul to give interviews to Turkish television and reporters. "She said 'I love you, Mummy, I'm proud of you, be strong."
She said she was in fear of her life earlier this year after a car slammed into her vehicle and raced off without stopping, and a mysterious burglary in which she claims CDs, tapes and the underwear and dress she wore on the night of her encounter with Mr Berlusconi were stolen. "It's very hard because for two months I've been massacred, but now I hope I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I don't believe anything else bad will happen to me, because of the all the attention the international media have given this whole affair," she said. Asked if she thought Mr Berlusconi should resign over the series of scandals involving young starlets and showgirls that have battered him since May, she said: "That's up to other people to judge. For me, an apology would be enough."
