Christ alive. Still, there are worse options, I suppose…

Good quotes: “Zapatero has given us more rights than any leader to the people of Spain: the old, the young, gays, men, women… I grew up under Franco with no rights. I grew up having to sing Franco’s anthem so that his Fascist supporters would throw me

Hmmm… Sarkozy losing support, Merkel’s coalition collapsing, Prodi on the way out, Brown unpopular – will Zapatero’s new mandate push him to look to lead the EU? Could be fun…

Hmmm… Belarus often acts on the suggestion of Moscow. Is this a bit of post-election dick-waving, or just Europe’s last dictatorship doing its usual thing?

By my reckoning that should put the Turkish economy as the seventh largest in the EU, were it to be a member. Hmmm… (Still trailing even Romania by GDP per capita, though…)

Very nice indeed – well worth a gander.

Tip-top – and can be read independently of the first part.
