Sense and Sensibility
Dear god,
What have you been putting in his tea? Old Simon in the Grauniad has come up with a few suggestions!
I tell you what. Whatever it is could we have some? Say a few thousand barrels?
Anyone for tea? Vicar, there you are!
Toodle pip.

New Year Resolution
I seem to remember in the fog of the festive inbox a wee email from Little Matty HandCock, our esteemed representative in the Parliament of Nations. It suggested that at this time of year we may wish to or indeed be going to contact those who are no longer with us! No, not those who have shuffled off the old mortals, (we leave Gerry and his mandering to other parts of the Kingdom) though indeed there are many, but those who have left for other (warmer, more tax efficient?) climes? We might, entirely properly, send them season's greeting and a reminder that they may, if so eligible and inclined, register to vote in the general election.
Why so, I ask myself? Little Matty scored over 24k votes against his nearest and dearest cocoalitionist LibDom at just over 15k votes. Labouring in at 7k the socialist alternative did not represent a major threat. Still Little Matty is, I am sure, a belt, braces and rustically applied piece of string covered discretely by a bacon and egg tie sort of chap. No harm in increasing the size of one's er, majority for preferment in the forthcoming Conservative Government of all the Talents (ConGoats!)
Could it be concern for the forces of Mr Fromage and the Ukickers? If so, he may find that many who have left would be more than willing to throw us to the wolves. All very complicated.
As usual, Mr Naughton has a few perceptive words at his blog based on Th'Observer column.
Could it be that the interweb will play a significant part in the Action at the Urns to come.
Just remember that many, though not all, politicians will be muttering under their breath...
it's a lie but what the hell it's election year... as they go on the stump!
(Very, very cynical if you don't mind me saying so. It undermines our belief in democracy, the rights of man, and woman and...Ed)
...continued in UN Resolution No. 94.
