No time for posting today. I’ll be back online Monday, perhaps with some more thoughts on various sex education curricula.
The one thing I have tried to have time for today is the local election result from England; I’m disturbed by the success of the far-right and pleased by the success of the Greens.
It is certainly time for Tony Blair to go. It was nine years ago this week that Labour swept to power; I watched the feed from ITN live on CSPAN in this country, and celebrated madly. New Labour has had its successes, but it has also badly disappointed many on the left. As one who holds UK citizenship, I follow events eagerly in my "other country", and long for a new leader for Britain.
You have British citizenship? Color me learning something new every day.
I have British citizenship through my father…
What is the “far right?” My understanding was that Labour’s loss was generally the Tories’ gain. Did some fringe group do better?
The British National Party made significant gains in several cities.
A new Leader? What about David Cameron? (or better still, given his betrayal of the Tory inheritance why don’t we clone the blessed Maggie so she can “go on and on”? :-))
