Priministerial Ramble

Quick note – still at home as transport is screwed.

However – new Prime Minister! Wow – it's been ten years since we had this situation, and lots has happened in the last decade. 9/11, Iraq, NHS up and down and up and down, the Internet taking over the world (do you remember teletext?), Pisco Sour Hour formed and still going strong. I'm quite excited, not because I'm particularly Browny, but because change is healthy. I'm sure that the cynics will soon start harping on (and there's a value in that – alternative opinions force discussion and debate and new solutions and ideas), and there's a strong case to be made that little will change, but let's pretend for a few moments at least that we'll have a rejuvenated government, with the public re-engaging with the political system... actually, if Gordy wants a sense of the potential of community to bind people, of the strength of people when they come together to change and help and improve the world, he should take a trip to Sheffield. If everyone in the country cared as much for each other and the place in which they live all the time as much as the good people in our city have over the last couple of days... well, who knows what we could all achieve?
