Slow news day?

Cricket on the front and back pages of the Independent. Ok it's the first ever forfeited test match apparantly but fir fuck sake get some perspective. One article even went on about how cricket was a "refuge from some of the worst pressures and cynicisms of modern life," that was written after mentioning how John Major was present. In fact after a quick double check that was apparantly an argument made by the ex tory bastard Prime Minister. After a hard days approving arm sales to a despotic regime I guess a bit of cricket takes the mind of things.

Speaking of arms sales to despotic regimes it's reassuring to see some things never change, what are the chances of Tony and George wanting to spread more democracy to the Middle East, possibly but not this little part.
