So after many lifetimes as Italian PM Giulio Andreotti finally snuffles off this mortal coil at 94 and becomes my 24th point on the Death List – nearly half way there! Who’s next?

Geographical distinctions in reactions to the news of her death are noteworthy. Some may argue that we’re one UK and that in a general election the will of the majority counts. Of course. But if you remember back, the resentment [...] [Javascript required to view Flash movie, please turn it on and refresh this page] document.getElementById(“player2″).style.display = “”; var s2 = new SWFObject(“http://www.dkpw.co.uk/wp/wp-content/plugins/flv-embed/flvplayer.swf”,”player2″,”480″,”388″,”7″); s2.addParam(“wmode”,”transparent”); s2.addParam(“allowscriptaccess”,”always”); s2.addParam(“allowfullscreen”,”true”); s2.addVariable(“height”,”388″); s2.addVariable(“width”,”480″); s2.addVariable(“file”,”/wp/wp-content/flv/witch.flv”); s2.addVariable(“image”,”/wp/wp-content/flv/witch.jpg”); s2.addVariable(“link”,”/wp/wp-content/flv/witch.flv”); s2.write(“player2″); Rejoice at that news!
