Tonight is bonfire night and today history remembers Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot. A friend of mine recently reminded me of a humorous saying that "Guy Fawkes was the only man ever to go to parliament with honourable intentions!"
On the subject of politicians; thank God the US presidential election travelling theatre show is nearly over. I am bored stiff of listening to the news coverage; I hope Obama wins and that we can just get back to watching the UK news without being subjected to any US election content.
Obama and Romney are supposedly neck and neck, which is hardly exciting but it does remind me of something with a US connection that is much more engaging. The 2012 Formula 1 drivers’ championship is drawing to a finale and Vettel and Alonso are neck and neck as well. I have got my fingers crossed for Vettel but the championship could go either way (and it may well come down to the last race of the season).
The next race is in Austin, Texas in a fortnight and that will make for some American leadership coverage that really shouldn’t be missed.
