I may be cynical at my age (just past 90), but the Prime Minister said he delayed the election because of foot and mouth.
He said he wanted to divert all his energy to sorting the disease and that to hold an election before it was sorted would be wrong. Yet he has only delayed the election for a month.
How can he be so certain that the disease will be sorted out in so short a time? And will he delay if the disease is still rife?
It strikes me as yet another example of his political tokenism and I find it regrettable. He is the sort of man I always feared my daughter would bring home one day: Oily and of little substance.
I would rather he was honest and said he didn't much care what happens to the farmers. That way, we would all know where we stood.
