Anyone for a round of 70's Nostalgia? It's as if that decade never went away. So much for modernisation, you might say. Though to be honest, I'd be more than happy with Gene Hunt running the place.
"It's my job, Cameron, you Southern nancy! And Gordon: you're nicked! Sam, how'd you like to be Chancellor of the Exchequer?" and so on.
Admittedly, there are differences. The railway and British Airway strikes are undoubtedly a major inconvenience for many people - I felt particularly sorry for a couple on the news who'd booked flights for their honeymoon - but it's not exactly on the same scale as a national coal strike, which reduced us to a three-day week and led to a general election in February.
Still, you do have to wonder: what on earth are Unite doing? Are they trying to get an anti-union party into power? Because, to be honest, that's what it looks like from here. Their motives may be good, but their timing is horrendous.
Elsewhere, BBC News has a decent article on the impacts of the budget.
Oh yeah, and Roy Hodgson rocks. Maybe he should be PM after masterminding a stunning turnaround in the economic performance of a once struggling company? Though presumably he'd need to work on re-building Anglo-Italian relations. Juventus players were not at all happy about last night's refereeing: not that Mr Greg Hands, who's running for the new constituency of Chelsea and Fulham, will be complaining. Is it a good idea to have a Fulham fan as MP for Chelsea? I might have to ask him that: as well as ask him why his site photos aren't working. Ah well, this'll have to do for now.
I may have to do a whole list of MPs sites, though that would take a while. You can always find MPs sites here, if you're interested. I quite like Greg Hands' one, especially as he's against Heathrow expansion! Definitely one of the "good Tories": and yes, they do exist, just as good Labour MPs do. So help me, I'm being vaguely impartial.
Still not quite sure which way to vote. Thinking Lib Dem atm. I am ultimately a Liberal, though like most people I dabble in Conservatism. But only in the amount of tea I consume, honest!
Have a good weekend people,
Chris
PS Budget stuff next week: there shall be focus on that. OF THE MEGA KIND.
