At last! A bit of, if not exactly good, then better news. I was dreading reading the headlines this morning; dreading yet another of those mind-numbingly stupid days like the two last year. If that utter scumbag Nuttall had won up in Stoke, it for me would be another step on the journey into fascism we began last year. I don’t think I would have been able to bear the sight of that embarrassment to humanity in the Palace of Westminster. Thankyou stoke for not taking us all further down that road. As it is, the tories got in, which I suppose is bad enough in normal times; but these aren’t normal times, and those of us currently despairing at the way things are going must cling on to such small mercies.
