It's Christmas time, in the city

Pre-Christmas political cheer is taking unique forms in the three countries we're following.

In the US, George and Nancy have bought Barack two car companies, with a Bush-appointed car czar as a stocking stuffer.

In the UK, end of year stress is showing as fatigue from the bank bail out, pre-Budget report, and the Queen's Speech turned yesterday's debate over Damian Green into a very un-yuletide affair, complete with hateful spittle.

And in dear Kiwiland, Johnny has played Santa by helping new workers get fired so they stay in work.  All very logical and new conservative of him - and passed through all stages in time for Christmas!

This has been a long year for the politically minded.  My advice is that it is time for a break.  Let us turn our energies to the question of the moral failings of instruction at Hogwart's Academy.  

And for me, it's off to Winter Wonderland this evening.  Ring-a-ling, hear them sing.  Ok-bye.
