Being stuck in hospital watching the BBC relentlessly push the UKIP anti-immigration agenda is not the best of Sunday mornings. Especially when paying ten pounds for the privilege on the morally disgusting Patientline system.

I have spent the last couple of days as the guest of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, which is annoying as there is much I wanted to write about.

Was meant to be tonight at premiere at Ecuadorean Embassy of new John Pilger doc which event hopefully will put minds at rest over Julian.

Apologies recent orders of signed copies of Sikunder Burnes delivery will be delayed a bit till I get out.
