Goodness, I have been absent for a while in which many things have happened. Along the road, there is one issue that strikes me as rather odd. Why is that any new government in the UK that comes to power always blames the previous government for the problems that they face? I am thinking here of the banking crisis and what followed. When a new government blames the previous government, know that they are simply point-scoring in rather self-interested ways. They know that they are speaking lies. It is all bollocks, adolescent at best, and quite frankly stupid.

Perhaps one day, there will be honesty about the place, and collaboration rather than partisan emnity as our putative leaders shout at each other across the dispatch box in the House of Commons. At times good entertainment, but coming from nowhere, going nowhere, and arriving nowhere. Blank.
