First Question Time of the year last night, which I enjoyed thoroughly but nevertheless found a little depressing...


Unfortunately, having been distracted by 'Girls of the Playboy Mansion', I only watched half of the programme, but I can always say it was probably the better half, so there.

The most disappointing thing was the fact that party members are still going for the 'well, it's better than the conservatives ten years ago...' and 'at least under Margaret Thatcher...' lines. I really don't know who they think they are talking to when they say this. If you must make comparisons, they have to be timely, and actually similar in cause and possible result. There is no way I can compare today's culture and governmental issues with those ten, twenty years ago and look for kudos there against my political opponents.

Watching Starkey's last word and the first debate is excellent but I thought something that was brought up to be very interesting.

It's true that for all Britain is becoming a more and more secular nation, the new authority that is lent to faith leaders and what they have to say is rather... odd. Not so much wrong, because they don't really have anything useful to say to the average Briton, and even if they did, no one would take too much notice, apart from the unargumentative faithful, but just a little bit odd.

I'm not too worried though. Thanks to certain persons who I mention far too much, this is really down to typical British leniancy. Even the problem we face due to Muslim extremists hiding in our Yorkshire streets is something of a storm in a teacup. Seriously, attend any Science lecture held for pre-university students and you will see that around 60-64% of the students are the new wave of Humanist Muslims that is prevalent, much like the Secularised Christians of a decade or two ago.

And yet, and yet...

Well, I've spoken enough about such things for now. Now for another nursery rhyme.

There was a jolly miller once,
Lived on the river Dee;
He worked and sang from morn till night,
No lark more blithe than he.
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be,
I care for nobody, no! not I,
If nobody cares for me
