Mugabe: slithered into power.

_. A most dreadful man by the name of Mugabe has slithered into power in the Rhodesian general election. He is of course a Marxist and now it is only a matter of time until the next blood bath occurs. The Ruskies are behind it, if you ask me. However, Robert Gabriel Mugabe is a saint when one compares him to the man I've just had to endure on a late night BBC TV interview - yes, Denis Healey of course. The former Labour chancellor and Keighley Girls' Grammar School pupil. The misguided fool believes he will live long enough to see another Labour government in office. Quite preposterous. Mr Healey is 63, and the Tories will be in power for years to come. Denis will be even more of an imbecile than he is now by the time Mrs Thatcher is turned out of office. Denis Winston will not hold office again.

Did a little more painting. Sue and Pete have seen a solicitor about 23, West End Terrace. It is almost signed and sealed.
