Don't send Princess Tony over here - I just moved across the pond and thought I was shot of him.

The only thing he's interested in is making a name for himself and securing his place in the history books and, since it looks like 'New Labour' are trying to rewrite history it may be the one thing he'll be successful at.

Problem is, as was the case here last Tuesday, the alternative doesn't really engender any real enthusiasm. If there was an election in the UK tomorrow I think there would be a lot of people who would vote Labour for what they see as the lack of a viable alternative - better the devil you know idea. From what I've been hearing that was the reason Bush got back in again.

Maybe we ought to start a Mudcat party both sides of the Pond.......
