Busy, busy, busy Nov 08

Just popping in to say I’m quiet at the moment because my spare time is directed towards a project I’ve found for myself. It’s not a blog ting so you probably won’t get to see anything of it here, but it’s led to me spending much time poring over books in the National Library of Scotland, which conveniently seems to have most of the titles I need.

Hurrah for libraries!

Bye, bye, Blunkers Nov 02

Cheerio then, David. (Excuse me while I dance a little jig.)

I do have a sense of déjà vu, but it’s probably for the best. Now Blair can put someone in place who actually agrees with him on forcing the disabled into work, and Blunkett can keep his shares and make thousands of pounds.

As he won’t be returning to the Cabinet any time soon, can we assume he’ll finally be turfed out of the grace and favour house he got for being, erm, Home Secretary?
