Through a glass half full

A fine pre-dawn run through the moonlit woods, then back to the dispiriting prospect of endless media coverage of David Cameron whoring after another champion of democracy, the King of Bahrain (ref), and then posturing in front of his euro-sceptic cronies in parliament. There is plenty to be sceptical about with regard to the European Union, but these braying xenophobic yahoos* protecting their overpaid speculator chums in the City give scepticism a bad name. On the other hand, looking on the bright side, Scotland suddenly seems even closer to Scandinavia.
*Editor's note: that's a reference to the unpleasant creatures encountered by Gulliver whilst travelling on a gap year, not to a search engine.
