I like to constantly remind myself that people in other countries have different concerns… and different opinions about what’s newsworthy.

The incredibly rapid implosion of Britain’s third major party continues. Following Charles Kennedy’s alcoholism and Oaten’s rent boy allegations throwing the subsequent leadership race into disarry, my previous MP Simon Hughes has now admitted homosexual relationships in the past. But the Liberal Democrats are happy. Why? Because they’ve had more media coverage in the past two weeks than in the previous decade!
