    'Meteoric'

    Isn't that an object that plummets from a great height at great speed producing lots of sound and light but leaving nothing behind? Possibly the best description ever made of a New Labour Apparachik.

    BTW. WTF is 'the Office of the Third Sector'? It sounds like something from a low-budget science fiction movie in which Jean Claude van Damme stands up to an Orwellian future by kicking lots of people very hard.

    Genesis are touring again

    Phil Collins is back, but they sound the same as when Phil Collins went away. The line up changes but the songs are the same.

    Ha, pass the humbug

    As Minister for (Lack of) Energy, he will shortly be having to talk to the Russians. Doubtless big bro has told him about them, and how potty mouthed they can be. Especially to jumped-up little toadies and political hypocrites. You've got to hand it to the Russians - were it not for them the insulation from reality of the nu labor claque would be complete and total.
