What an interesting day!

Earlier this week I wrote an open letter to David Cameron asking him to reinstate Nadine Dorries. I am happy to see she was reinstated and given back the Conservative Whip. I am positive my open letter had nothing to do with it; I wish it did and I had that kind of power. Nonetheless her return to the Conservative fold is a very happy and welcome news. She is back where she belongs.

The Queen officially opened parliament yesterday. Apparently this Queen’s Speech was the shortest in her Majesty’s 60 years reign. It was so short by the time the end of the line arrived at the Lords she was finished speaking. All in all this year’s speech was seven minutes long. Well times are austere.

I like Chris Grayling. He was the star of the show yesterday with his Offender Rehabilitation Bill – a topic very close to my heart. Grayling proved once again that common sense politics and politicians are the best. No amount of money spent in prisons will cut crime if we don’t properly address reoffending and specially youth reoffending. Because reoffending is like garden weeds; just pulling the weeds out does not permanently sort the problem. Plus pulling them from the roots, weeds need regular treatments to keep them away. Same like crime, reducing reoffending is the only long term solutions to reducing crime. Chris you’re the man!

The art of telling jokes is simple. You have seconds or the joke loses impact. If in two seconds after the joke is finished the audiences are still waiting for the punch line, then the joke is on you. Ed Miliband’s out – Farage, Farage joke was just that. So bad was his response to the Queen’s Speech, that the only thing Labourites were talking about last night and this morning is Miliband the rescuer. It seems he helped a cyclist who now thinks he is not such a geek but a handsome prince. Whatever!

Sir Alex Ferguson resigning as manager of Manchester United was the biggest news yesterday; even Her Majesty the Queen with that fabulous tiara couldn’t keep him off the front pages. From hair dryers to whether he will become Lord Fergie; farewells and his resignation graced almost every front page this morning. It’s definitely an end of an era. Wonder will Man U now have the same problem with mangers like the rest of the clubs?
