The morning after the night before
Some of you may have noticed from posts on this blog, and various others, that the Euston Manifesto was launched last night. Adam's promised hot-off-the-press-report hasn't materialised. My fear is that he overdid the informal session in the bar afterwards, and is still in bed with the mother of all hangovers. It wouldn't be the first time this week. For now, the Manifeto unveiling is covered by Norm, with the complete text of his launch speech, and Clive Davis, complete with pictures.
And as if we didn't need any more reasons to disassociate the Eustonians with other sections of the left, this came to my attention in the Independent.
The Respect MP George Galloway has said it would be morally justified for a suicide bomber to murder Tony Blair.
In an interview with GQ magazine, the reporter asked him: "Would the assassination of, say, Tony Blair by a suicide bomber - if there were no other casualties - be justified as revenge for the war on Iraq?"
Mr Galloway replied: "Yes, it would be morally justified. I am not calling for it - but if it happened it would be of a wholly different moral order to the events of 7/7. It would be entirely logical and explicable. And morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq - as Blair did."
You can tell it's bad when even STOP THE WAR criticises the indefatigable one.
There's also something in the article about the indefatigable one's fawning of his newest favourite dictator.
Mr Galloway yesterday made a surprise appearance on Cuban television with the Caribbean island's Communist dictator, Fidel Castro - whom he defended as a "lion" in a political world populated by "monkeys".
And this passage came right out of a Mills and Boon novel.
Looking approvingly into each others' eyes, the pair embraced.
All this homo-eroticism is making my head hurt. Back to the cricket.
