It is a bit like a Windows 7 desktop.
Not an unpleasing image. Sort of like Dr Lobster's pictures.

I propose a drumhead trial.
No, actually - I think we're discussing this image:

Try as I might, Gavin, I do attempt to get my peer group involved in politics but it seems musicals are all that matter.
With that in mind, and given the nature of this debate, perhaps that's what I should stick to, too.

Why, are you any better at musicals?James H wrote:With that in mind, and given the nature of this debate, perhaps that's what I should stick to, too.
*zing!*
I'm just teasing.
One of our acting coaches at drama school asked "how much of theatre is about politics?". Most said, "none" - and then he went on at some length about how all art (and indeed, everything else) is about politics.
Didn't see it at the time, but I do now.
Now I've seen the image I can perhaps see it has a stylistic look of the 50s; but saying it has communist overtones is pushing the simile. You could as easily liken it to the railway ads of that era that showed travelling to be new, aspirational and fullfilling.
Cameron has been caught twice now giving carbon copy speeches of famous politicians of the past.
Sadly his last one was nicked - phrase-for-phrase from... Richard Nixon.
Are they somehow related? I think we should be told.

Gordon Brown feat. Alistair Darling with "Big Spender (Rather than cuts)" from Sarah's Tweet Charity
Nick Clegg with "Who Am I?" from Les Miserables Lib Dems
David Cameron with "Gotta Getta Gimmick (Like Married Couples' Allowances)" from Gypsy (Actually, they prefer "travelling community")
Lord Mandelson plus M. Portillo and A. Duncan with... er... well, take your pick...
