I have just seen the story, tucked away towards the back of the Crawley Observer, about Gordon Seekings getting married to Marcella. They may be Lib Dems, but still… all the best to them. I hope everything goes well.

At work we have TV screens in corridors which display various company announcements, traffic news towards going home time, and usually has BBC News either full-screen or in a window depending on the time of day. No sound, but the BBC News has the closed captioning turned on. Today I was walking past a TV […]

The Rev John Stanton gets about a bit doesn’t he? According to the Times he appears on the infamous BNP members list, but before that he had been a local party chairman of the Green party, had spent four years as a Lib Dem councillor, five years as a Tory and before joining the BNP […]
Mayoral election
April 23rd, 2008 · 6 Comments · Politics
I half-watched the London election programme on ITV tonight; the one with Boris Johnson, Ken Livingstone and Brian Paddick on.  I’m not sure whether the audience had been packed with partisan supporters of all three candidates or that there is just a lot of genuine public interest in the election, or a bit of both, […]
Irritated
October 17th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Politics
According to the BBC, Menzies Campbell is "irritated and frustrated" at having to resign as leader of the Lib Dems. Strong words. Any minute now he will really let go and admit to being "put out" and "slightly miffed"
