I think they're quite justified. Clegg has the potential to be very good, but somebody needs to go hit him with a live wire, or top him up with petrol, or somesuch. But we won't know for sure until new year - the festive season isn't the fastest period for political news.<BR/><BR/>Can't agree with you on number 8, I'm afraid. I grew up in Sale; take a wild guess who I'm supporting ...<BR/><BR/>A very happy new year to you, anyway!Jonny Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414994559548890103noreply@blogger.com
