So, Now We Know Where We Stand...
This is the last time we get to see this...
...'cause both of them are now sh8 out of a job - now, let's not give me reason to make a new one with Cameron and Clegg, okay?
The Tories attitude to the unemployed is what I would describe as "confrontational", with talk of "workfare", whilst Clegg's Liberal Democrats were far more moderate, offering hope of a new way of dealing with what is, let's be honest, a significant problem in the country. Hopefully, the LibDems will be a voice of reason in this respect - but will their policies on the matter be sacrificed for electoral modernisation? If so, my vote definitely goes elsewhere.
And I must certainly will not forget this Cameron nugget: "...we don't ask 'what are our entitlements?' but 'what are our responsibilities?'..."
Remember YOUR responsibilities, Mister Prime Minister, Mister Deputy Prime Minister - and never, ever forget that you SERVE, not RULE. The rise in the threshhold for paying income tax will very much be welcomed, particularly should The Year Of Change unfold as expected, and I'm sure the time has finally come for a new electoral system - exactly what we do get, and how long this whole Con-Lib set-up lasts, we shall see in the weeks, and perhaps months to come.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if, in response to a Parliamentary swing to the right, New Labour fractures into New Centre-Left Party and New Socialists - yep, boys and girls, it's back to the Eighties! Just watch how the election of a new Labour leader unfolds - it should, at least, be a good laugh. People are already chanting "Tories suck" - wonder how many of them actually voted...
Development News... I'm not really keeping up with my after dinner "Writing Hour" - stuff has been rather hectic over the two-week birthday slot, but lunchtimes are still busy. I'm getting close to finishing Chapter 5 of MoN-204 "Mane-of-Night And The Hunter's Game" (I'll get back to that once I'm done with this), and Chapter 6 is starting to take preliminary shape - a different shape from what I'd originally envisaged, but more than meeting the needs of the story.
And finally... With my birthday dealt with, I now have less than two weeks to get the next annual event sorted out. Two Saturdays from now, it's Spiritwalk, the anniversary of a very special evening in New York in 1998, and, as Mission 101 Task 65 states:65 - Celebrate each and every Spiritwalk (May 22) and Patent Saturday (December 1) like they really mean something (which they do!) (0/3, 0/2)
. Exactly what form that celebration might take I haven't really given much thought - although I have some idea what I'd like to do on Patent Saturday this year...
More news on this as it develops.
And finally finally... Oooh - looks like Harajuku comes to town next month...
