A Dry Drowning
The Sage was sitting at the table over dinner, with Eden at his feet. His compatriots Claire and Rupert were busy eating the dinner the Sages man had left for them all. The Sage tried not to keep his man about the house too late whenever possible. There were so many times when he was needed when one crisis or other kicked up.
Tonights discussion was about something that wasnt a crisis, or at least not at first appearance. The person involved was not in need of their immediate help. He was, in fact, not in need of anyones help at all. The plods local to the death were treating it as a suicide, a rather odd one, but a suicide nonetheless. After receiving the email and hearing about the event, the Sage had contact the local police station offering his help. He had been, alas, woefully incapable of getting the D.C. involved to admit that anything odd had occurred. This meant that the suicide would have to have been noticed by those who look out for such things in Devon, or worse yet, in London.

UKIP had a stellar night last night, getting 12 seats and putting the pro-European Lib-Dems into 3rd. In some areas UKIP was second only to the Tories. Pretty encouraging to see that Eurosceptical parties were doing very well last night. Bet Howard & Co are feeling a bit daft about their comments about UKIP.
Let’s hope the popularity of UKIP will make Howard take a look as his wish-washy attitude toward the EU. Norris got pummelled in London, as did Georgeous George Galloway. Wonder if either of these two political cretins will take the hint and go away.
And does Europe care about the result?
Iain (as well as many other bloggers) has cast his observant eye last night’s results. I agree with most of his findings if not all.
Update: Robin Harris agrees that Howard’s Euro election strategy was daft.
