and so it begins

As promised, the builders turn up this morning and press right on with the ripping out of our old kitchen: only our welsh dresser, fridge and washing machine will survive the metamorphosis. Noises off, as it were, lived up to fears and expectation, but on returning home this evening it is mostly done. How long we will have to live like this is not clear, though the figure of 4 weeks has been offered.

And so it begins indeed. For the next month we will have to endure the weasel words and the downright lies, the cant and the grossest hypocrisy, all of which goes under the name of "electioneering". And will it all make any real difference in the end? I would direct you to a poster I used to display on my wall in my student days:

WHICH EVER PARTY YOU VOTE FOR, THE GOVERNMENT GETS IN
