I've said it before but when you watch these sort of videos from the Middle East, you're left with the impression that the participants think they're in a computer game where they can just respawn if they get killed.

These are like the most boring election results ever: barely any changes in the overall numbers of seats held. Perhaps the London mayor election results will be more interesting?

Khan well ahead with 90% of the votes counted; looking like a convincing win at this point.

So this is a big deal, apparently?


The funny thing is that headline links to a Financial Times article entitled: "Victory for Sadiq Khan highlights tolerant face of London".

Seems unlikely as that would require the ability to put the needs of something greater before his own petty ambitions, and we're talking about Gove here.

I'm pretty sure that Gove is completely sincere when he talks about his belief that Britain would be better off outside the EU, I'm still at a loss to understand why he thinks what he does though. He's certainly not done much of a job explaining himself to the public thus far.

The most beautiful word is "defenestration".

I love that: "to attempt to kill someone by throwing them out of a window" is an actual word.
