I'm unsure how much readers should attribute my long-term absence to abject laziness and how much to my being totally and utterly dispirited by the rise (and even the fall) of the loathsome Brown, and the continuing and shameful decline of almost everything I love about my country.

Anyway, I was very pleasantly surprised to find myself inspired by Nick Clegg's speech to the recent Lib Dem conference.

I commend it to you.
