Grumpy post warning

The Foreign Office has requested that all flags are flown at half mast. You'll know why, and if I had a flag I'd be flying it at half mast today.

But WHY does the FO think it needs to ask? Nanny statism gone mad. Scowl.

As a balance to that, I loved seeing a tweet which showed a photograph of voting queues in the South African presidential elections. Awesome. People who haden't had freedoms we take for granted appreciated the freedom to vote deomcratically.

But I still managed to have a grumpy thought, which was: "Stick that in your pipe Russell Brand."

Well, I did warn you wink

Thanks Bags

I had obviously heard the Margaret Thatcher story but I had never seen hard evidence.

His charisma and smile did eventually win the argument that's for sure.

He accepted invitations to Downing Street and Buckingham Palace and I am happy to believe that he did so knowing more about the thoughts and deeds of those who invited him than any of us will ever know.
