Am I the only Brit that's having a silent chortle at Blunkett 'resigning' today? Thought not :-)

I admire the man for overcoming his disabilities in such an amazing way, but don't like his politics and I think he's an idiot for thinking that he could get away with such a major breech of ethics and parliamentary regulations. His career has to be over now - nobody can be forced to resign from the Cabinet twice in one year and expect to return again!

This new 'My LJ' thing is rather...hmm...Probably gonna be handy. I think. I like the idea of being able to quickly insert piccies rather than uploading them to my webspace and relying on my ability to remember a URL correctly.

Got lots to do before tomorrow evening and not enough time to do it in. I think that I'll be laminating badges during Atlantis tonight. Still, can't help bouncing about SG-10 :-)

I've so had one of those days today (and come to think of it, yesterday too) that I haven't had time to see any news. But that is really excellent news. Ditto on your opinions on him too.

Definitely. Although my dad said he probably resigned to stop people unearthing other secrets, which sounds reasonable to me!

Did you see the program about him, A Very Social Secretary, that Channel/E4 showed constantly? Apparently they're doing a follow-up - there must be a lot of dirt...

And, incidentally, just looked at the BBC website and they have a poll on whether you think he should have resigned. 80/20 say yes...

It wasn't really a docu-drama, more taking the piss. You don't really come away from it with much sympathy for, er, anyone really.

Apparently though, he gets 18K each time he resigns. So he's 32K better off for it this year...

But anyway, Blunkett - HARHARHAR. etc.

Later!!!x
