Excellent news. Now we can get on with real politics. If there’s a conclusion to be drawn from this messy episode, it’s that for those who occupy the ivory tower of power there’s a lot of noise, but it’s the deafening echos of their own voices…
Child of the post-war baby boom. Spent childhood summers on Shoreham Beach. Came of age in the Sixties. Got on my bike in ''79 when Mrs Thatcher won, and rode-off for France and Spain. Enrolled at University in Bordeaux, learned to teach French as a Foreign Language, discovered that we are an integral part of the astonishing tapestry of European Culture, that our differences, so large to us, are invisibly small to the world outside. Found Shoreham again in 1986 and moved down permanently in 1990 with Sally where we have grown up with two wonderful daughters.
