Nocturnal Observations

A couple of things that have struck me this evening;
  1. Is it not slightly odd that, of all the Lib Dems he could have chosen to join a government policy review, Gordon has taken one who is standing down at the next election? Heck, a person of suspicious mind might think that yon scunner Broon was planning to call a snap election and thus quietly invalidate the appointment...
  2. Can people please stop using the phrase "Back Me" with reference to political campaigns? As David Baddiel would have put it, fifty years ago, "Back Me" meant "support me in this campaign", with just a slight undertone of "take me roughly from behind". Today, on the other hand...

1 - No, which Lib Dem MP not standing down would have accepted to join a government policy review? That would have tarnished the MP who had joined the team, which might not have been wise in the eave of a possible snap election.
