It's with some relief that I can announce that on this week's 'Any Questions?' the Labour party seems to have seriously cut back on it's annoying habit of referring to the government as "This Tory-led coalition", it was getting really annoying.

For their part the Tories are being a lot more careful with their "The mess the previous government left us" line following increasing barracking from the audience on both 'Any Questions?' and 'Question Time'. They were, I suspect, a little worried that the general public was slowly making the connection.

It goes like this. The banks go bust and plunge us into a giant economic crisis, the New Labour government bails them out to the tune of millions of quid using our money because allowing the banks to go bust would be unthinkable (I'm thinking about it and it's starting to seem like a pretty good idea to me) thus making our financial condition even worse. The Conservatives get in with the help of the Liberals and start banging on about the mess Labour left them. The bankers continue to pay themselves huge bonuses and the Tories refuse to do anything about it. Then it's revealed that over half of the Conservative party's funding comes from the banks...

The Labour party gave our money to the banks so the banks could give eleven and a half million quid to the Conservatives.

And they have the cheek to bray about the Labour Party being funded by the unions...

Meanwhile, back at 'Any Questions?', would it be possible for politicians to stop 'Thinking'? They seem to be continuously thinking that something is right, that this is the way to go, that the public will support this. There's nothing wrong with thinking, but they're adding the subtext "I think, therefore I'm right".

No you're not. Now stop it or I may have to kill you*.

*I keep slipping this in to my blogs because it apparently attracts the attention of the forces of goodness, anti-terrorism, and all that is right, and I like the idea that my blogs are being read by important people.

I awoke this morning feeling strangely tranquil. It took a moment or two to register. Daylight saving time has ended.

I always feel so much better when I get my hour back, but everyone else seems to think it's the end of the world. They talk as though someone has taken ahold of the world and moved it so that the sun rises and sets at a different time.

Nature hasn't moved one iota, all that's happened is someone's diddled with the clocks because, apparently, we're all too stupid to get up earlier without being made to. Actually I think the problem lies at the other end of the day, we're all too stupid to know when we should be going to bed. With the advent of 24hr TV, radio, shopping, working, garages, and drinking establishments we seem to have lost the ability to notice that it's getting dark and we'd be a whole lot better off in bed.

I wonder if we're evolving. It's not that many years since we went to bed and arose again with the sun, and that's obviously the way God planned it because we're designed to live in daylight, at night it's cold and dark and we have to resort to artificial means to keep warm and get around, but maybe H. G. Wells had it right, perhaps in the future some of us will be able to see in the dark and be completely dazzled by sunlight, some of us will feel the cold of night as being natural and have to take to our beds during the heat of the day. We'll develop into night watch and day watch only meet at dusk and dawn. We could all share jobs, homes, beds even!

I don't care as long as we don't have to go onto daylight saving time again next year.
