Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

Another One Bites The Dust

So, Charles Kennedy has departed office. I can understand arguments on both sides, and have decided I'm not goona to comment whether I agree or not, I just think one aspect about all this is very strange. For all the time that he has claimed he had a drink problem, he was the most successful liberal leader in over 80 years leaving the party with a substantial number of seats, and a good chance at being the opposition. Now if he has been seeking counselling for 18 months, and been sober for at least two if not longer (don't quote me on that as I can't find an exact source), then does this mean that for the time since he has been trying to clean himself up, his colleagues have been systematically gunning for him. Whats stranger, if 'people' have been covering up and are fed up of doing so, what, or who, has changed their opinions or morals?

Now it just remains to be seen whether the Liberals can clear up this issue in a dignified manner. Much like the Conservatives did recently. Oh. Hang on a minute...
