strangely down today.

got annoyed by a UKIP guy i think on the radio just now, who tried to reconcile their supposed "zero tolerance" approach to crime, with their endorsement of speeding, by claiming that they only meant zero tolerance for "serious crimes". obviously this man has no idea what zero tolerance was supposed to mean. Yet another term becoming devalued.

we regret to inform you that the election has been cancelled, meanwhile, here is a repeat from 1983

Shirley Williams and Denis Healey were on the radio this morning, arguing about tax. Denis accused Shirley of wanting to tax the rich until their pips squeak. I was amused.
