I’m in London for a job interview at the moment being as I am, in full “get a job mode”. There will therefore be a bit of a dry spell on the Blogging front for a day or so, followed by intermittant interruptions for the short to medium term. I’ll try my best to get on, and write a few pieces in spite of all that’s happening.

I am however still following events closely and as such I offer my support to the Elvis Presley of Blogging, the great Guido Fawkes! His passion for getting at the corrupt bunch of miscreants currently running our country is legendary, and I applaud it. However it may yet may get him sent to the tower.

Typically however, he has come out fighting!

I’d like to say I’ve been busy over the last few days but that would be lying, I have just been lazy. So here’s one of my ‘reduced fat’ updates to keep my loyal readership in the know, and by loyal readership I mean my dog, Colin.

1) It’s good to see Guido taking the fight to the enemy, and in such stunning fashion. He’s causing trouble all over the place, sowing confusion and discord wherever he can. This story is a reet laff, although it’s sad to think of how much effort Hain and co. are putting into the fight over the scraps left by John Prescott. I will now give some advice with both jocular and serious connotations: He hasn’t left much on the plate.

2) My adopt an MP initiative has not been shelved, although perhaps it hasn’t been the rousing success I had initially hoped. It was released with some fanfare earlier this month, and as far as initiatives go is doing ok….I’ve had one comment and no emails. In keeping with New Labour spin news management practice I may re-announce it at some point in the future. No one can say I haven’t learned a thing or two from our dear leader!

2a) Speaking of my adopt an MP initiative, I began that venture with such good intentions and high hopes. I set my google alerts and scoured the papers daily, hoping for a glimpse, nay any glimpse of the parliamentary wonder boy. It has however, regrettably, come to nothing thus far. If I were being crass I suppose I could say that he’s been too busy playing with his Cheeky girl’s cheeky parts to do anything much of interest. The thing is, his website would seem to back it up, It’s so last year.

I’m off to find accommodation and gainful employment up London way today, so I’ll have to be brief.

1) Could someone please put Simon Heffer out of his misery? The man obviously can’t stand this country, or its political sway. I think everyone would be happier if he were simply taken out back and clubbed over the head with something hard and blunt. I wouldn’t then be put in a position to accidentally read another one of his tub-thumping UKIP political broadcasts.

2) I really don’t know what to make of this whole gay adoption thing, and it’s probably best not to comment at all. On the other hand I’ve mentioned it now so I probably should say something.

Firstly, I believe it would have been far easier for all involved if the government hadn’t stuck its fat nose into the issue in the first place, and by doing so it has just made things worse. Secondly, any business stupid enough to discriminate against homosexual couples would lose my business, and I have faith that I wouldn’t be alone in that regard.

This government seems blithely belligerent towards religion, and ignorant of the fact that by definition it is dogmatic, and that the temporal government (from a religious standpoint) is nothing to the universal and everlasting faith they follow, just ask Archbishop cranmer. Which is why I find it all the more surprising that our very religious ‘Dear Leader’ supported this bill in the first place. I guess he’s trying to find a third way.

In my opinion it would do far more harm than good to force the closure of religious adoption agencies over this issue, and I’m quite sure gay couples could vote with their feet and use a range of secular adoption agencies instead if they wished.

(That was all a bit The Sun Says wasn’t it)

a) I’m off for a couple of days so this blog will be neglected for approximately 24-48 hours, fear not, as yesterday’s mega update took something like 2 hours to write and should take you a good 5 minutes to read, get stuck in!

b) As far as my adopt an MP initiative goes, neither anyone else nor Lembit has done anything, so I have nothing to report. I guess the tidal wave of support is being stored in box files in the home office somewhere.

c) If Tony Blair’s continued squat of the office of PM wasn’t depressing enough, Gordon Browns hideous sermonising in today’s Telegraph is enough to make you want to hurt things. I’m going to say I don’t believe in fairies lots of times today, and I hope no one is clapping.
