Hungarian national airline Malév collapses into insolvency, ceases all flights (updated)
July 12th, 2010

And all this time we thought it was France that was to blame for Hungary’s political problems!

Those familiar with Hungarian politics over the past century will be aware that a) probably the biggest bummer was the dismemberment of the country following the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, and b) that this bummer was in large part the work of the French. So imagine the shock of discovering, via yesterday’s Telegraph, that Le Grand Bummer of French political life today can be traced to… Hongrie:

Before becoming a scandal about money, politics, art, history, café society and power, the Affaire Bettencourt, now threatening the Sarkozy presidency, is the story of two ferociously ambitious young Hungarian outsiders and their success at storming the citadels of the French establishment.

Revenge: Still sweet, even after 90 years!

    The French deserve Sarkozy like they deserved Hitler. Now let’s export a few hundred thousand Gypsies to them and we’ll have another major problem solved ;)
