It's cos of blah blah...(if only they'd listened to me..)<BR/><BR/>Actually, as we all know, politics in the country always see-saws just cos, after a while, there's a feeing that "the current lot have been in power too long". And then anything negative is presented by the opposition as complacency by govt. They've been in power too long! They take us for granted! They're out of touch!<BR/><BR/>Aye indeed. Here endeth the lesson. Gordy's doomed. And actually it's cos of Iraq...(if only they'd listened to me..)Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590222742138898531noreply@blogger.com
