Return of the magnificent, er ....

Last night I took a call from a friend, an unreformed Thatcherite who (like me) was active in student politics in the Seventies and Eighties. Neither of us are fans of David Cameron but the gist of the conversation was, desperate times call for desperate measures. Quite how desperate will become clear after tonight's debate, but as things stand it's not looking good.

Anyway, the only image that came to mind as I lay in bed last night was The Magnificent Seven. I'm not suggesting that we hire a team of wily old gunslingers to save Britain but there have been worse ideas ...

A great idea - and a great, great movie.

An apposite quote from Eli Wallach's bandit chief:

"If God did not want them sheared, He would not have made them SHEEP."

Let us hope that the Great British Electorate is at last growing tired of being sheared..............
