You have my sympathies. The people on those shows are awful and make me feel ashamed. Piers Morgan! What can I say? Mind you he may soon be made to come back here to answer questions in court about phone hacking. I can't stand those shows! Britain's Got Talent! God help us there's more talent in your local pub on a Saturday night! It's just all about money and making the judges rich. Loathesome.

Anyway off to London today for a week. We had riots in the city last night and so I'll have to see how things are. A man got shot by police and so it all kicked off. That said, it's about much more than that. The borough where it happened, Tottenham, is poor and has recently had a lot of public service cuts so we can keep our rich people rich. Can't condone rioting but boy do I understand the frustration! I'm the only person who still has a job in my immediate family and I know I'm a potential powder keg!
