On Monday the 14th excitement rippled through the local community as word spread that the British PM was visiting. No, not Tony, apparently he retired so it was just some guy called Gordon Brown who isn't even English. He was visiting the local Gurdwara Temple for some celebration and to spruik the cause of the current mayor of London 'Red Ken' Livingstone whose up for re-election at the start of May. Cause I was at work without the kids being there and didn't really feel like working, I stood around for a while for a glimpse of the main man! It was strange to see how little security there was, can't imagine it would be as lax in America, but I guess was more then when you could go jogging with Johnny with your weapon of choice (see here for the memories). Anyway, we came, we saw, we even got to shake his hand. And the people around me seemed genuinely impressed by him and as they might one day vote for him, I suppose that's all that matters.
Security was at a maximum!
Gordon finally emerges from high talk meetings determine future world strategies . . . .
. . . . . sees someone he knows, waves and walks towards them, with his eyes shut . . .
. . . . . . . and I am swamped by people who assume that Gordon was waving at them.
