Monday politics

I just had a fun morning - last Friday an email went round saying that a senior cabinet minister would be delivering a speech on the economy this morning on campus, and to apply if we wanted tickets. I did that, and got my confirmation this morning, and went off to the university library to find the place crawling with journalists and police, because it was the prime minister.

Of course, the speech was basically his version of the old song, We're Screwed, So Screwed, So Very Very Screwed, with a rousing chorus of It's Not Our Fault We Have To Make Major Cuts, Blame Gordon Brown, but it was fascinating to watch. A good start to Monday!
