Writing on the Wall
This morning will be spent on letters to papers, blogging catch-up, and sorting out the case work from last night's rounds.
But first I walk the school run. There really is less traffic around at the moment. The main highways in Chorlton nearby are being dramatically improved for pedestrians, public transport and for local users.
This has reduced the through traffic while the work is in progress. And this in turn seems to have reduced the no-time-to-lose through traffic rat running down our way. Road works are great. Less and narrower roads means less traffic. Discuss.
No time. Pick up Guardian and morning edition of MEN. I have the three dogs. the pedigree racer formerly known as Tigger is in a splendid palatine coat. He is also being gently broken in to the name Jim. Jimmy and Jimbo will probably follow. Just now he is not particularly responsive to any of his names. But I estimate it will take approximately 10 cocktail sausages to get him the gist and 20 for him to think he's been called Jim all his life. That's a treat for later.
First letter is to Guardian. Again pointing out the folly of "voting Lib Dem in almost every case". This is just plain stupid. It's a recipe for Tory government.
I also announce that the Labour blog is now linked from the SNWDWVF site.
Second letter is to the Manchester Evening News. Mike Amesbury wrote in a couple of days ago rightly pointing out that Charles Kennedy's pretence of being positive is rather undermined by starting every pledge with "We oppose ...".
I support this and give the case of Opik and Hughes for the party Presidency where Opik spoke up for being positive and was roundly beaten. And of course the Hughes Bermondsey by-election came in as a useful illustration also.
Third letter is to the local Reporter following up the mauled letter of last week and adding more to the mix.
The letters will be linked here if they are published or reproduced here in a day or two if they are not.
I will reproduce the l
