The ups and downs of politics often throw up some interesting news items, and I found two tonight on the BBC website.
Firstly, it appears that the New Labour luvvie Mick Hucknell appears to out of favour under the leadership of Gordon Brown.
Mick who is better by his fans as Simply Red was one of the first major celebrities to come on board when Neil Kinnock took charge in the early 1990’s.
In Mick Hucknells’ words “I’ve been shoved aside” by Gordon Brown.
The second story relates to American Presidential race, and the BBC has reported that a 106 year-old American nun who is living in Rome will be voting for Barack Obama.
Apparently she has not voted since 1952 when she voted for President Eisenhower.
Even though Sister Cecilia Gaudette is hard of hearing, she keeps herself informed by reading newspapers and watching TV at the convent.
“I’m encouraged by Senator Obama,” she says.
“I’ve never met him, but he seems to be a good man with a good private life. That’s the first thing. Then he must be able to govern,” she adds.
