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.

In the Daily Mail the other day was an article saying that Tony Blair was talking to Milliband and 'helping' him - while getting ready to re-engage with British politics.

For a more balanced view here's the Independent's take on it:

I don't suppose one Labour leader can refuse to take calls from an earlier (very successful) one- but...oh dear!
