So, the rescue of the Chilean Miners is underway and handled in a customarily sensitive fashion by Sky News who spent most of last night reminding us that 'of course, it could all still go wrong', in the same way that they implied that the Raoul Moat standoff could turn into Infernal Affairs at any moment. Fortunately it transpired that after much banging and testing, the Fenix was finally put into use hauling forth the miners from their earthy prison. (Of course Murdoch ruined this too by placing a counter on the screen which stood at '0 out of 33 miners' for a good 6 hours or so).
On a similarly bleak note, today is also Margaret Thatcher's birthday. Interestingly that fateful day also signifies what could be the first major crack to appear in the Coalition, as it transpired that the Lib Dem's pre-election promise to abolish tuition fees turned out to be bollocks. Quite how 'abolition' turned into 'raised to an unlimited amount', I'm still not entirely sure. Poor old Cable is seemingly being scapegoated in a manner not seen since the 1930s and it surely cannot be long until he realises that Clegg has not only hoodwinked the public but his own party as well.
Still, it's the Apprentice tonight. So it's not all bad...
