Bye! Bye! Russia
I can’t say I’m sorry to see the Russians go home!
What price now that the Greeks vote for no austerity tomorrow? They will be backing on two miracles in a week.
And Now We Have a Bus Strike!
Len McCluskey has a very good way of making life for Londoners better; call a bus strike for next Friday.
It actually doesn’t effect me much, as with a bit of planning I could make sure, I haven’t got any journeys on that day. I am going to something in the evening, and I suppose I will have to take a taxi, which I can afford.
Some might say, that the bus drivers have a case, because everybody else has got an Olympic bonus. But then every other transport worker is employed more directly by Transport for London and not individual companies like Stagecoach and Arriva.
On the other hand, I’m listening to the complete silence of the Labour leadership. At least most voters are brighter than Mr. McCluskey!

Who Do the Young, Liberals and Women Vote For in Egypt?
The BBC in this report describes the two candidates thus.
Mohammed Mursi, head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political wing, is up against Ahmed Shafiq, former President Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister.
In the UK, it would be the equivalent of choosing between a Catholic Archbishop and Len McCluskey of UNITE or Bob Diamond of Barclays.
We’d certainly be on the streets protesting.
