HOBSON’S CHOICE 2010: the long, slow shrug begins

Day three and the temperature of the general election campaign has reached tepid-point. As time dilation kicks in between politicians and voters (ours are the clocks ticking at a slower rate, in case you were wondering), what have we learned?

Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has said there’ll be no ‘backroom deals’ with either of the two major parties before the election.

    Well I enjoyed this Guardian article, at least. I’m not sure I’ve read anything like it before. I’m assuming that they’ll be publishing it on the letters page in the paper copy, despite the author’s strange use of the third person to describe himself.

    OT: shitfuck, the second line of this article disturbed me, until I enabled my “correct insertion and deletion of Irish prefixes” filter.
