Another day of essential tasks only. One of them took me out for a few minutes, and I saw a tree. I like trees. The highlight of my day.

Given my low opinion of the Tories (how about that for understatement) you wouldn't think they could underwhelm me again would you but bloody hell the antics lately are breathtaking. The spectacle of Tory MP after Tory MP smirking over their oily double chins as they line up to complain that their 67000 a year (plus expenses, including their food, their second house, their plasma screen tv's, their cars, their stables, a "salary" for their wives etc etc), their fat pensions, their huge self awarded pay rises (and all this just for backbenchers!)etc etc...isn't enough to live on, isn't enough to raise a family, isn't enough to attract anyone but useless people (!) one of them even suggested they should get a cool £250,000 a year. The self satisfied arrogance of these people, the sheer sense of entitlement...it beggars belief, and all this while they screw sick and disabled people, underpaid people, unemployed people out of the pittance they depend on to live and sanction them for unreasonable, even made up excuses for three months at a time and now going up to three years (how can anyone survive without income for three years...well anyone except born rich bastards like Cameron and his cronies).

This can't go on.
