    Sorry, I really have no idea who these (this?) gentlemen are. Who are we seeing here?

    Oh Stuart. You had to go there, didn't you. I've just got back to being able to sleep properly after reading that blessed thing.

    Judge Cal,
     
    Animal Farm gave you nightmares?

    Kinda. This was a month or two back, and I'd had a horribly stressful day at work, personal shite was getting on top of me, and I'd for some reason decided to read Animal Farm in basically one sitting, which as I'm sure everyone is aware isn't the most uplifting book at the best of times. Got absolutely no sleep that night.

    I'm not regretting returning my leadership ballot back uncompleted. There just wasn't a choice, or at least a decent, meaningful one.
    Still, it is disturbing how quickly the right-wing press have been to decry E. Miliband as some crypo-communist menace. And that's literally no exaggeration, based on yesterday's Sun.
