« 28 Oct 04. The dodgy left | Main | 9 Nov 04. Rev Billy in jail » 4 November Oh Christ. What can I say? We're all doomed. And I lost my ten quid. Hell, that was no fun, was it? Anybody else out there stay up all night, initially daring to hope and then becoming increasingly, insanely depressed? I'm still recovering, both physically and mentally. Still, there's not much more I can say. Especially with every journalist in the world analysing every aspect of 'what this election means' for days and weeks to come. I would just make two observations. One: at least this was, to look on the bright side, an example of an engaged population taking part in mass democracy. Shame that 59 million morons all voted the WRONG WAY, but that's democracy for you. Sigh. Two: I really, really don't understand America. Anyway, enough of this. What I'm going to do now is list some pieces of nice, good, happy news to cheer us all up. It's either that or suicide. So here goes: Piece of good news one: It is possible to emigrate to Britain. You can find out how to here. As long as you're not one of the 59 million morons, you are welcome to the UK with open arms. As long as you can put up with Blair instead. Piece of good news two: brilliant African environmentalist Wangaari Maathai won this year's Nobel Peace Prize. She's a wonderful woman who has suffered hugely for trying to restore the African environment for years, and it's great she's been recognised. Piece of good news three: The Woodland Trust has launched a great new website which allows you to find where ancient woods and trees are in your area, and what you can do if they are under threat. Have a look; it's great. Piece of good news four: you can adopt an injured animal from St Tiggywinkle's wildlife hospital, and make it well and happy. They have some really cute badgers. Piece of good news five: Maitreya, the World Teacher, is coming to save us all, as you can see from this website. Sorry about that last one. I think that contemplating another four years of monkey-boy at the helm has driven me slightly mad. I'll stop now.
