God Save The Queen.
And no, I am not late. It is Beijing Time throughout China, regardless of when the sun rises. And it is GMT wherever the Queen is the Queen. It just is. So there.
On a serious note, and related to yesterday's post about the areas that rose, in one case with the Duke of Monmouth, in the other with his exiled cousins, by 2015 what they thought was their party will have condemned them to darkness long into the morning for much of the year, by having imposed Central European Time with the connivance of a Coalition partner which has already collapsed north of the Wash and is ripe for collapse west of the Solent.
But anyway, Happy Australia Day. God Save The Queen.

You are the best hope since Bryan Gould, who was the best hope since Peter Shore.
ReplyDeleteI have thought this many times about you and Gould. I know that everyone has to admire the Lost Leader, John Smith. I know that you really are firmly in his tradition of Labour opposition to abortion, easy divorce, and unregulated drinking, gambling and Sunday trading.
ReplyDeleteBut on economics, Europe and the importance of the Commonwealth, you know that you would have been a Gould supporter against Smith and a Shore supporter against Foot, Healey and Heffer, right though Heffer was about devolution.
What is more, Shore and Gould would have been better Leaders than Foot and Smith, but they were starved of a hearing. Nothing changes.
