Dry (well, drier) here, I'm pleased to say...
Meanwhile what one can only presume is an attack of terminal irony, Blair is to be a ME envoy for the UN. news.bbc.co.uk Promoting peace through superior firepower, no doubt. Perhaps he feels he can unite all sides in their contempt for him. Oh well, at least he'll never go out again without a bodyguard, so even he can't ignore the loathing of so many. Still, on a selfish view, I'd rather he stays f***ing up over there than failing to speak sense to Bush over here.
Unfortunately I'm sure Brown's equally spineless, and he's proved almost equally ready to, ah, present an individual view of truth and reality: ""I take my responsibility as a member of the Cabinet for the collective decisions that we made, and I believe they were the right decisions" news.bbc.co.uk
Plus he apparently believes in Enron accounting, i.e. debts off the balance sheet don't count. What a fine legacy from a chancellor.
The floods are obviously some deity p*ssing on the parade. |
