A Grim Day

Yesterday started out well enough. It was the day of the concert at St. John's, Smith's Square and I missed all of school, (except English, which is pretty relaxing anyway). This was great because I played for a couple of hours and then went to Pret with Michael Chan (the First Horn) and we had a drink and something to eat. I then went back to the College, almost fell asleep in English and then returned to London for a meal at Pizza Express on Millbank and the concert. The first half wasn't great, but the second half was amazing. We had Elliot giving a beautiful rendition of Grieg's Piano Concerto and then the first movement of Cesar Franck's Symphony.
However, as we did this, the nation made a great, and potentially terrible decision: They re-elected Blair. Although with a majority of only 63 instead of 180. Incidently, Blair recieved the lowest share of the vote that has formed a government for a long time.
Some other interesting things hapened in the election. We had the lowest number of votes for a single party ever: 1. It was the Vote for Yourself Party.
George Galloway's R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Party won Bethnal Green, and I must say the Paxman's conduct during his interview with Mr. Galloway was shocking. His sole question was "Do you feel proud to have defeated one of the few black women in Parliament?" You can't ask that, it's quite frankly offensive and Galloway was right to rebuke him. I bloody well hope Paxman apologises very quickly for this disgraceful behaviour.
Well, I think that just about covers it. Another five years of Blair then. Good luck, ladies and gentlemen.
