On The Eve Of The Red Dawn

[poliphilo]

Ailz has run herself into the ground with visiting her dad in hospital every day, so we took a day off and she spent it in bed and I got to snooze in the back yard with the latest copy of Current Archaeology. Apparently medieval people were quite nice to lepers after all- building them hospitals and burying them with decency. Ailz has a postal vote but I like having to make the effort of walking to the polling station and going through the closeted ritual with the paper and the pencil stub.  I voted for the Labour candidate and she won. Usually I vote for people who don't have a prayer and it's nice, for a change, to be riding the crest of the wave.

Milliband strikes me as a deeply political animal and, as such, is unlikely to have any real core principles. Hopefully, he'll see the light in due course.

The victory of Obama over the Clintons seemed to mark the end of neo-liberalism on this side, or at least its severe decline. I hope to never see its like again on these shores.
