Just for the record, this is published again out of sequence. Today is Friday, the 30th of June.

For those abroad, it might be remarked that there were by-elections in a couple of seats vacated by a couple of recent deaths..
The Tory's took Westminster, but had a massive inroad in the previous majority, from over 13 thousand to about 630..
It's a message to the Labour Party.. a serious one.
It will be of some interest to see exactly what happens at the White House now, after the Supreme Court ruled Gitmom illegal.. it's a note George would like to mute..
And would you look at those Chinese! They've completed what might be the greatest engineering feat in history, although it remains to be seen whether or not it will stand, literally.An 11 hundred km, that's about 710 miles worth, of high-altitude railway, linking The very heartland of China with Lhasa, in Tibet. Positively amazing, and yet it's not mentioned in many Western papers.. or on any Western newscasts..
Quite a feat, and well done you Chinese...
