I don't usually recommend individual posts as my day would be consumed by publishing, but Guthrum of Old Holborn fame, has a post about the cost of Mandelson's empire. It wouldn't surprise me if many of you agree with his/her opinion. I certainly do. Read it here.

I cannot abide the twerp but we are all implicated in Lord (heuch- spit,spit) Mandelson of Fop's insidious rise to become Regent in the absence of our PM who languishes in an inanimate state of terminal bewilderment and delusion.
Where are today's protest marchers, song-writers, poets, authors, satarists and singers redolent of my youth? Are they vanished in the odious populist mediocrity and oppression of political correctness and pseudo-celebrity worship? Probably.
We seem to suffer from democracy more than we benefit - if our version of it allows so many unelected shysters to gain self-indulgent power and spondulicks.
Is it an omen that my security characters today spell 'FACKING'?!
I remember all my life
Rainin' down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Cryin' in the night
The night goes into
Mornin', just another day
Happy people pass my way
Lookin' in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me, oh Mandy
CHORUS
Well you came and you gave without takin'
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shakin'
And I need you today, oh Mandy
Standin' on the edge of time
Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbin'
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhymin', oh Mandy
CHORUS
Yesterday's a dream
I face the mornin'
Cryin' on a breeze
The pain is callin', oh Mandy
CHORUS
You came and you gave without takin'
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
You kissed me and stopped me from shakin'
And I need you
Love from GB
I wonder if the good lord is camping with Spooks this weekend? I hope Spoooks doesn't find him loitering within tent.
How Mandy now sees himself and Brown will be posted on my blog later today. Youngrightie's best so far and he's only just begun!
Afternoon Clarinda. You've brought up something I've thought about in the past few years because I know I've 'handed' on my protesting skills but the younger generation don't seem to have the same fire as I did (I'm assuming you're not pensionable age).
We tried in the 50s and 60s to make life better for all but then we allowed the do-gooders into the main frame and that seemed to start this politically correct society which now has the most freedom-curtailing legislation in Europe by all accounts.
My generation are tired and some are angry because life isn't better in many ways and communities have been lost never to return.
I hope it's not an omen but who can tell? We will have to wait and see.
Thank you GB, thank you for reminding me never to listen to that song again.
Oh brownlie, sharp as a tack as always! Get back tae yer work and earn some pennies for next year's subs at the golf club.
I shall keep my eyes peeled OR, as always. Looking forward to it.
Are you sure that isn't a portrait of Des O'Connor, SR?
You know GV, that's exactly what I thought when I saw it first on Guthrum's blog! I didn't put that in the post because I thought it may reflect from the seriousness of the subject, but he does have that laiser faire look about him doesn't he.
subrosa,
I am working and hopefully you'll see the results soon. I just pop on here now and again as a break from work to make sure you're behaving and not doing too much flirting!!
If all goes to plan next year I'll be playing regularly on the Harris Golf Course where I'm already a Life Member.
Auch Brownlie, it's not too bad a life being able to spend our wee breaks on blogs is it - plus with nobody breathing down our necks.
Hey that's great news. Well done you. I was going to ask but never liked to.
subrosa,
If I'm forced to work from home I can do it just as well there as here.
Me too Brownlie, me too.
