Cufflinks

It is clear that the UK political scene is lacking in women. I wonder whether it is because they just can't be arsed - their children and family usually take priority in their lives so they end up taking work that suits their situation rather than their potential.

Of course I may be wrong. But many of the women I know are great organisers of the lives of their nearest and dearest. Sometimes I find that I have left the house without looking in a mirror to check what I look like, never mind sprucing myself up.

Yet when I look at the leaders of the political parties and those around them, I am struck by one, well actually two things. Cufflinks. I know it is rather petty but I rather resent the fact that not only do these guys have time to faff about with cufflinks they also run the country.

I think all is not quite right with the world. But how do you rectify it?

By the way, it is good to be back, and nice to hear from Catdownunder.
