From The Times (UK), Jan 3rd.

Waste of time and money. I'm glad that Italy has a statute prohibiting "abuse of popular credulity", but there surely must be some other offender more substantial and more worthy of the effort that will be uselessly expended here.

Would be interesting if he actually tried to do it, which I doubt he will.
