I agree he appears  like that, but isn't it just a mouth deformity? 
He's ruthless with his own party. Look at the Clapham Common 
resignation, signed and delivered before the press hit the fan. He's 
got Michael Foot and Clare Short in orgasmic mode re the boys in 
khaki. Also he physically barred Trimble and co's exit from the 
talks at one point. 

Ken Livingstone always said John Major was the best housing chairman 
Lambeth Council ever had. I think they all 'believed' things, but 
Bleuugh may have  God on his side; which is always worrying. Say what 
you like about the likes of Richard Nixon for eg, but at least you 
knew he'd never risk worldly gain by pressing buttons for righteous 
causes.

I'm all for the here 'n' now. Jam today; manna at some indeterminate 
time in the future.

Stop the non-strategic  war-style pro-active  defensive operation for 
strictly humanitarian purposes and nothing to do with arms sales!

Anyway what are you doing working on a sunny Friday? Exams? Or is it 
raining in Dublin?
