the election has been a barometer for the polularity of the government. a government that:
o scrapped the 10p tax band (hurting the less well off).
o wants to lock people up without charge for 42 days (Jefferson said it best: "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniencies attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.")
o is exhibiting signs of political hubris.
i don't think it had much to do with the candidates - it would probably have been an even bigger defeat if the opponent had been someone other than boris.
What that "Trying to Panda" means: "Panda" has become a synonym for pander, which is what I have to remember to try and do, rather than just tell people to shut up.
Where: London
Why: Doing my Aussie tour of duty back in 2001, meant that I left Sydney to live in London for a year. One year has now turned in to almost 5 1/2, residency and hopefully the percurement of British nationality, so that I can now go travelling around Europe without the need of those pesky visas (even if they do look oh so pretty in my passport).
I like: marmite, chillies (fresh, dried, or in a jar with vinegar), french (the language), nutella on white bread (with no butter), East Enders, trying to burn past other cyclists when I ride home from work.
I don't like: vegemite, losing, and having cyclists burn past me when I ride home from work.
I always feel paranoid about something.
