    December 3, 2008 Just watching the Queen’s speech now that I had recorded earlier. It was very interesting to compare the walk of the MPs last year to this (or how I remember last year) Last year David Cameron was looking like a leader, walking taller than Brown and explaining to him his ideas (from the looks of it). This year it looked like brown was trying to explain something but DC was having none of it and looked, well… pissed off, and continued to do so throughout the speech - with good reason really. Even the Queen doesn’t look too happy to be reading it out, sighing occaisionally - I think the Duke of Edinburgh got it right when he signalled it should be thrown away. It was much shorter but I think that this points to a late election as they would try to cram lots in if it was the end - plus with the 2 year mortgage trick that brown has pulled out of the hat to try and take the pressure of the speaker this afternoon. Speaking of which, the Speaker has admitted that he was negligent and didn’t ask for a warrant so he has to go, for the good of democracy - I’m sure there will be many people who won’t write to their MP on important matters until they are sure he has gone. I think he has acted very disgracefully in trying to palm off his mistakes onto his Serjeant at arms and claimingit was all the police’s fault for not telling her that she didn’t have to sign a consent form, and trying to prettymuch hide that he knew about it the night before and did nothing and said nothing about it, including not giving any advice to Jill Pay. The Serjeant at arms should also go, but gracefully - She’s not up to the job and it was wrong of Martin to put her in that position.
