Clegg first up on "The "Leader Interviews" on BBC1 at 7:30pm tonight.
30 minutes to edge the yellow peril into double figures.
Carry on with the plonk otherwise 30 minutes of unadulterated Cleggy will leave you comatose until polling day.
I should do my PB duty and watch the Cleggmeister .... but I'm comfortably ensconced in my library with a few bottles of Ruddles watching the Test match having gotten through a sublime curry.
Think the "Good Life" episode where Jerry is similarly content before the abrupt arrival of Margo puts an end to the guilty pleasure ....
Fortunately Mrs JackW is away ....
I had the pleasure of getting ridiculously drunk with Richard Briers one evening in Norwich. A very fine fellow with an interest in telling daft anecdotes and hearing tidbits of local history he was.
Last time I saw him was in the gents at a charity dinner at the national theatre.
Funnily enough my last words to him (Cheerio of course!) occurred in the Gents at Norwich Playhouse. A passion for conveniences should not be inferred!
Swarms of Labour posters went up here in Norwich South about ten days ago. Now matched by an equal number of Green posters that went up over the weekend. Very few for Simon Wright MP who looks set to finish 4th.
Wright will finish fourth or fifth, UKIP and the Cons should also beat him. I was carousing in the Golden Triangle Friday night and noted the Red and Green decoration. Greens have an impressive array along the student properties of Dereham and Earlham roads. The young rental households of the GT connector streets are strongly Lab. one orange diamond noted.
Fascinating battle, as is Norwich North where I predict Jess is going to hand Chloe Smith her arse on a plate.
I beg to differ, new builds in the northern suburbs mean demographics trending Tory. Chloe to win by a thousand.
We shall see! I've been predicting Chloe's demise for two years and I'm rather fond of Jess perhaps I am blinkered but I'd go for Jess by 1000
Strange how BBC seems rather uninterested in IFS musings. Peston's summary only produces positives from IFS analysis....telling us all that it would be far better to balance it later rather than sooner.
"And the IFS says that if it were balanced in 2017-18 - which is when the Tories and Lib Dems are committed to balance it - Labour would need to make £18bn of cuts. But that would fall to £6bn of cuts, if balance was deferred to 2018-19, and zero cuts if balance was postponed till the last year of the next parliament."
Odd that.
Quantum economics. Plus what is it that Labour are balancing?
