    ...the SBL painted an apocalyptic picture of a New Labour Britain - Blade Runner with tea... I rather enjoyed this view of British elections[^] from a U.S. based political reporter.

      He missed the significance of Howard's border patrol date though - I can't believe a humorous article missed the open goal of 6/6/06... Gavin Greig "Haw, you're no deid," girned Charon. "Get aff ma boat or ah'll report ye." Matthew Fitt - The Hoose O Haivers: The Twelve Trauchles O Heracles.

            Even more tragic, Jon was telling me, is that the chap is Romanian (well, Welsh but of Romanian heritage) and we all know what comes from a certain region of Romania[^]. Talk about dastardly luck, old chap. regards, Paul Watson South Africa PMW Photography Gary Wheeler wrote: It's people like you that keep me heading for my big debut on CNN...

                The way Michael Howard speaks reminds me of Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) from the Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.
