It seems we are to have a Conservative Prime-Minister with Liberal backing. To paraphrase "Laurence of Arabia" Was it worth it? On the whole, I'd rather have stayed in Tunbridge Wells. Will the demonstration planned for Saturday 15th May at 2pm in Parliament Square now go ahead? Indeed, is it still legal to have demonstrations? Last time we had a Tory government I recall a Miner's strike that split the nation and mass unemployment with poor districts engaged in uprisings. Now from the Take Back Parliament and the Purple Revolution to Salvador Dali. Was he better than Picasso? In terms of merciless self promotion, yes. Avida Dollars was a one trick pony. How radical was Picasso? Is his art just "daubs" as the Soviets said? Every generation sees an enfant terrible arise. How avant garde are the Chapmans, Emin or Hirst? Or is it Emperors New Clothes? Finally, Boeticia, the yakuza. It is not so much macho (flaying dead heavily tattooed gangsters) but more a Japanese tradition. Along with firemen tattooing is only seen with Mafia types. At least one gets a seat on the bus to oneself. Sayonara.
