Dear Eddie,
Did you slip in an outwith.

Tens - if not hundreds - of thousands of flights have been cancelled following Iceland's volcanic erruption. This is obviously very upsetting for the many people not able to take planned holidays, or stranded abroad. In wider terms, however, does it matter?
Apparently only 0.5% of air traffic carries goods. What proportion of the remaining 99.5% of flights are really essential?
Is it time to review the availability of cheap and easy air travel? Would there be good environmental arguments for dramatically increasing the cost of air travel and using the profits to subsidise rail travel?

So The Rolling Stones are producing a song on vinyl, to support independent record shops and to fight against the impending loss of vinyl technology.
Is this nostalgic hanging on to an old product something that people would like to see in relation to other technologies?
Personally, I'd be keen to fight for improving the availability of bakelite phones and caylie.

Two them in hugely wealthy aristocratic and banker traditions, the third from pulpit sermonising.
Shoc news: Hold the headlines: They successfully slannelled for an hour and a half.
Of course they did.
They learnt it from their mothers' milk and their fathers' pipe and cigar smoke how to keep the plebs down.
'You have the right to more
We will preserve our our own privilege and those of our class but we'll divide up the lrft overs more equally.'
Just don't treat 'em like they should be treated. That is their plea, generation after generation. And if you make life cushy for them, they'll give you God or pay you back a little of what they owe you or make you realise how important being a posh toff is.
One of them
allegedly claimed the full amount permissible under the Additional Cost Allowance, including claims for food, gardening and redecorating. The Telegraph also said he claimed £80 for international call charges, a claim he said he would repay.[61] He claimed the maximum allowed additional costs allowance in expenses from the taxpayer for his second home in the year 2007-2008.
Have we forgotten already? The sleaze, from Micheal Alexander Brown through Ashcroft to Mandelson and fund raising, etc.
And these intergenerational parasites have convincced you not only that they are teflon but collectively, qua triumvirate, fit to run the country.
Goodness, the palpable sense of plastic unreality was nausiating.
They offer us crumbs from rich tables. They say its been going wrong for years. Yep, since 1950 when we were half way there.

I did wonder why Eddie played all the 'most watched television in history'?

Gwent Police asked The Register to consider not publishing a story about its serious data breach saying it would undermine public confidence in the force, but we declined.

Marvellous new T-shirts in London.
A photo of Gordon with someone familiar behind him.
Gordon is saying
'There's two toffs now, so I've brought me mate'
Prescott is smiling behind GB.

Do you remember that advert of two women with hair-dos. 'Which twin...?'
the advert asked.
Seeming Clegg and Cameron, I wonderd which toff was the Tony.
S'ppose Brown will ensure neither is, please God.

As a rare visitor to London I have to tell you the whole place seems closed - or hired out to Boris's rich friends.
Who will Clegg guy at No. 10?
My bets, Flintoff and Boris.
Over Borsch and Teas they can recall together the old aristo Russian order.
Course, if its Cameron ensconced, Boris'll still be there - with of course Clegg - they have so much, banking and artisto heritages, in common.

A feeling of discontent and resentment aroused by and in conjunction with desire for the possessions or qualities of another.
No, comrade, I want neither the silver tongue, the wealth or the toff politics of Clegg and Cameron. It would take me weeks to wash the grease out of my hair, their smirk off my face and the botox from under my skin if I ever had the living nightmare of waking up like either of those two toffs.
I've been making sure the Lib Dems and Tories don't drive us back to their aristocratic and authoritarian roots with bogus Parliamentary reform. You can read it if you like, at FB 123. Enjoy.

As our society has lurched from one crisis to another since 1970, each time, we, the people, are offered exactly the same second rate glossed up self interested rabbit from the same old shabby hat.
The accent is always the same, the assumption always the same, that the elite are born to rule and it is our duty to vote for them and accept any tosh they come up with as the best from the best, and the effect always the same, another tawdry stitch up, with the best of the best swanking off into a highly pleasing future for themselves alone as chaos crowds in on the rest of us from every direction.
You want them listed? The Gang of Four, the elitist Williams, she of the divine and hereditary right to pontificate and personally define the percentage of people worthy of university education, Woy Wogers and the appalling Doctor Owen
Margaret Thatcher. 'Nuff said.
Toni Blair. Too much said.
All from the same Oxbridge stable with the Oxbridge manner and accent, in flannelling good cop or raucous bad cop mode.
That was Cameron's appeal. Now it's Clegg's.
You would like your sons and daughters to become to become like them? (For that is in part their appeal) Get over it. It doesn't happen. Wanting your children to have a touch of Toni, Nick or David about them is to want them to join an intergenerational elite that trades in ruthlessness and flannel
Well, they could become hacks and henchmen for the class of lawyers, bankers and aristos that dominate English life - wind up like Thatcher and Toni or hurt by it all crouched in a back alley like Jeffrey Archer or John Major.
But the truth of it this time, is that in Dave and Nick the aristos and the bankers have got their own front men. They are THAT much under pressure. Don't join 'em. Sweep them and their class aside.
Goodness me, there is better out there, in local politics, in trade unions, in local government employment, in community housing and charity admin. Let's bring them on, and forget the imploding plastic unnecessary of Nicholas and David

EtE - Your offensive suggestion that all people want round here is for their children to turn out like Blair or Thatcher shows just how far off this planet you are.
Where are you standing, by the way? (Just in case anyone wants to vote for you.)

I've just heard the PJ Harvey song and checked the lyrics on line.
Its called Let England Shake

I too sometimes fear her blood will rise again, in the appalling Enoch Powell sense.
And I'd prefer to call it Istanbul, any day.
It hints for me of a poem called The City by Cavafi
http://cavafis.compupress.gr/kave_33.htm
The poem's personal angst would be nothing to how I'd feel if the fears in the song were reralised.
If you Google her and her song and Youtube, the Camp Bestival sound track is better
