Today is the worst day for rain since the continual precipitation started the day the hose pipe ban was called. I don't drive far to work, but it involves a bit of dual carriageway and that helps to throw interest into the journey. A BMW M3 convertible slots in, in front of me just before the slip road to the dual, without indicating. It takes the slip and joins the dual, all without any indication despite traffic being quite heavy and with the distraction of the rain. But this is a safe driver, because the car does no more than 50 on the 'big' road. What a dope (in the real, English sense)!
Doesn't Jeremy Hunt strike you as a Lib Dem? He does me. But he isn't, apparently, he is a Conservative, though I would guess he is of the David Cameron, lottery winner variety as opposed to the servant of the people politician. He has a good family background, impeccable education -all very much respectable and to be respected - but then went off the rails by becoming a Management Consultant.
I suppose once he had been in an industry that prides itself on being paid to talk about stuff, rather than achieve anything, politics was an obvious later choice. Naturally, he has been in PR too though the thing which flopped, but for which he should get some respect, was selling marmalade to Japan. Now he appears to have been up to no good in a way reminiscent of New Labour. A true political chameleon.
I see the recent massive lottery win by a Scottish fellow has allowed him to donate £1 million to Alex Salmond (or his party, I'm sure). Clearly, a fool and his money are easily parted.
