Plus ca change

Against all odds we can still win, on a platform for change

Change? Must have seen that meaningless word borne by too many flat surfaces lately. Plus the walls and aircraft they like to stand in front of... on platforms.

To me it's now just the stuff that rattles around in my pocket until it makes a hole and falls from my grasp, only to be eagerly picked up as well by those who also turned my crisp notes into only so many loose promises.

Plus ca change.

BBC - Miliband in Labour rallying call - Change!

Telegraph - David Miliband is clearly enjoying the continuing speculation - I am glad some aspect of our country's governance and its impact on the people is being enjoyed by some. His name is tricky to spell, too, isn't it?

Guardian - Brown's courage and vision deficit knows no borders - As I still cannot post, I must reply on others to speak in proxy:

'David Miliband is a man of integrity. I know this for a fact.'

'Perhaps but just because he did you a favour and let you in the building doesn't translate into full integrity.'

Indeed. What a truly daft thing to write. And a glaring example of how those who have access via the media credentials can miss how things play from our political 'leaders' more directly to us.
