Today is shrouded in gloom

I won't be around much today - 2 four-hour meetings to check every student's grade. What joy that will be.

Meanwhile, contemplate this: that the British people have largely chosen the landed aristocracy, followed by petit-bourgeois racists in the form of UKIP, and a significant chunk have voted for racial violence, holocaust denial, pigmentation-based discrimination, Nazism and moronic anti-politics.

You'll soon find out that the Tories can't blame the poor for everything, UKIP can't blame Europeans and the BNP can't blame black people, Muslims and Jews. When they start cutting public services and handing them over to thugs and wideboys (I accept this process is already under way), just remember this: you voted for it. (Not my regular readers of course).

And I thought only Americans were lemmings.

Yep, it seems like the world has flipped upside down. No soon as the U.S. elects an intelligent, liberal president, and the world breaths a sigh of relief, then Europe does a lurch to the right and elects a bunch of facists.

I feel sick to the pit of my stomach.

It's not consolation I am sure, but I know the feeling. Eight years of a massive stomach ache.

Fair point - we just had Blair's imitation of a small-government, rightwing, warmongering nutcase.

Don't you ever sleep, Jaded? What time is it in your bit of the US?

10am here. I work at home. Can't resist checking the mail when the computer ding dongs. It's a curse.
I work in between emails. This is why I am poor.
