Are we looking at a general election sometime in the spring of 2009? I'd say somewhere near June, about the time Gordon Brown will proudly and loudly announce that the UK's involvement in Iraq is now officially over, a few weeks before huge unemployment figures begin appearing on the news on a regular basis and a few months before his tax increases put everyone in the poor house.
It's not before time that the whole Iraq disaster is ended of course, but I feel for all those service men and women who board a Tri-star in Basra in June thinking they're only eight hours away from touching down in Brize Norton and seeing their families again, only to see the plane head off in the other direction and hear the pilot's announcement two hours later along the lines of, "welcome to Kandahar airport, the temperature is 120 degrees, please make sure all body armour is in place before disembarking the plane."
I don't recall Brize Norton having mountains
