You may have noticed that Ed. asked me to be a bit more upbeat, positive even. As a medicinal practitioner of some years standing I have been appointed to a personal chair in the Hospital for Spectral Diseases. I have decided to introduce a little colour into this blog.
We now have Blue Labour and Red Tories, but why stop the pathology there. Keep a close eye on those pink fascists and the rainbow of Islam, from Sufi to Wahhabi.

As a case study I will be investigating a certain Signor Berlusconi who has turned a delicate shade of indigo, no sniggering at the back there! Do you not know that indigo is the imaginary colour invented by a Mr I Newton many years ago to show how all things cluster in sevens?

In this colour blind universe the Greens would, of course, be coal black. Over the Holy City a device would flutter that was half as gold as green!
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Peoples Republic of China has decided that it will no longer hoist the red flag but march under a banner of grey!
