E DAY -6

Six election thoughts

1. One day other things will fill the headlines – even today, with the oil spill in Louisiana
2. TV is a double-edged sword – we might feel we know Nick, Dave & Gordon better now, but we also know we are irritated by Nick’s ‘I’m not like these two’, Dave’s ‘I’m going to get a grip’, and Gordon’s ‘I saved the world from financial disaster’
3. When every party leader begins his answer to every question with, ‘I agree with you’ all the answers start to sound rather meaningless. (O that one of them had said, ‘What a bigoted question’!)
4. Remember the name ‘Gillian Duffy’ – if for no other reason than it is bound to come up in all the end of year quizzes
5. Retirement seems to be working better for Tony Blair than office is for Gordon Brown
6. Isaiah 40:15
