#1 Ah the smell of irony on a Sunday morn.

#2 BD, I thought Tony was going to call a snap election for February. If he does after this visit, I'd have to say he's got basketballs and a good chance at citizenship like Winnie's.

#3 I thought Tony was going to call a snap election for February.

It's been rumoured, Mrs D, but most pundits still think May 1st is the probable date. I'm guessing a Bush visit in late winter makes a February election even more unlikely. I doubt Blair would gamble that Bush's presence would help him win more votes. Possible, but I doubt it. Bush certainly has his admirers over here, but, like most of the rest of the world, he has a fair few more detractors. ~~GuardianTV~~ The BBC can claim a large part of the credit for that.
