Comments on: The best political day for years http://richarddnorth.com/2010/05/the-best-political-day-for-decadeof-my-life/ Richard D North welcomes you to his blog.

Are we at last waking up to this fact? “I am also hopeful that an entire generation of comedians and broadcast commentators – at least their drearily dissident, and childish, carping style – will also get swept away.”
