    And it could change again on the day, but the weather looks set fair and getting less cold, so I’m just looking forward to my first airshow of the season, combined with a good morning full of the Museum and static displays.

    From the passenger’s point of view you put your ultimate trust in your captain and the crew, not traffic controllers. I am not a pilot but surely, as has been made clear here, the pilot must ultimately make that final decision.

    Those are ominous words, Al – “don’t think you have heard the last of him”. I can only hope you are wrong and that he recedes into the backwaters of Fife to be forever remembered only as the worst Prime Minister and the worst Chancellor in living memory – or ever!

    By the way you must be a mite chuffed that the new Government is reviewing the Barnett Formula and will reduce the annual subsidy by about £4.5 billion but devolve some tax-raising powers including a 10% of income tax bracket.

    What is truly amazing is that he managed to “fool a great many people for most of the time” to paraphrase the phrase. Those of us who saw through him years ago were too few and with no voice. I still wonder about the result of the election had Cameron really exposed the truth of Brown’s disastrous policies during the campaign, but he never went for the jugular.

    Well certainly Alex Salmond was banking on a Lab-Lib deal………….but we are all going to have to live with it for good or ill and maybe even for 5 years so carping won’t help.

    Al – sometimes you really do sound as embittered as your avatar suggests. I know you’re not really, but just Scottish.;):)

    Indeed. Only just realised that they have signed up for a fixed 5 year term so presumably that really is it, until May 2015, unless there are “irreconcilable ” differences. I also noted that on some policy items where Lib Dems cannot sign up to Tory policy they will be allowed to abstain in any vote. Which seems encouragingly mature. Might the experiment just work?

    The sun shines brightly and the wretched Scot in No 10 and his awful cohorts are banished from, our lives – for years, hopefully.:):D
