I'm sure many of you are already either bored, irritated or both with the General Election and the last thing you want is for me to keep going on about it too.
But one brief observation.
You may be aware that Peter Mandelson is running Labour's campaign. He's a man known for his mastery of the so-called "dark arts," which one might better describe as spreading lies and poison about political rivals, and bullying journalists, voters and anyone else who stands in his regal way when he gets half a chance.
Prior to his appointment as Business Secretary, he had been in two previous Labour Cabinets and both times he was forced to resign in disgrace.
His new job came with a peerage from Gordon Brown, meaning no-one voted for him.
And, as a lord, he is not entitled to vote at the General Election.
So, to summarise, he's a nasty piece of work, he's not standing in the election, he's not voting in the election and yet he's running around the country bad mouthing his political opponents and patronising the rest of us by telling us how to vote.
Wouldn't it be much better for Labour's chances if he were to get on a plane and join his mates Tony and Cherie Blair on their safari holiday which, according to the papers, has just got underway?
