And sense wins again....which must make it twice this century thus far.

I wanted to post this to talk_politics  but given it's SWMBO's birthday and we're getting ready to go to Maze for lunch with her parents and I'm just killing time until she finishes in the shower and allows me my daily ablutions....well....

Anyway, that champion of all things green George Monbiot has written a comment piece about....

Let me just link it instead and read it all for yourselves:

www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/sep/06/meat-production-veganism-deforestation

In this article he gives us a small mea culpa for having made a series of mistakes about the need for veganism. It appears that one Simon Farlie has written a book and an article, to wit: Meat: A Benign Extravagance that has changed his opinion. The nice thing about Monbiot is when he gets it wrong he holds up his hands and says so: you don't see Tony Bliar esquire doing that sort of thing now do you?

So many good jokes floating around about little William Hague it would be impossible to list 'em: however Fra said something along the lines of:

"Any true Yorkshireman, when faced with being thought of as homosexual for sharing a room with another man, or saving £50 on the extra room...."

Which probably says more about the sort of Yorkshireman Fra pretends to be, but there you go.
