What step is he on?
A pal of the Pres is 95% certain that he will step down later tonight, the head of the army has been to 'freedom square' to tell the protesters that they have won!

Ah well, we don't have a much better record of Democratic advancement here either. :(
I think we're all waiting for a broader-based Government... but instead of the bath and rinse (hopefully not a blue one!), you could have been down at Ricky's Green Room this evening, planning the rebellion... Some brilliant speakers and a great atmosphere from the assembled capacity audience, all of whom can hardly wait till March 26th.... Hopefully, Mubarak will be gone by then and the Egyptians will have set us an example...
(Not just my - or Oudeis's - idea to see a parallel here: the comparison was noted by several speakers...)
Surely the problem is not whether he 'stay's or 'goes'! It's who!, or what!, will replace him???

Ged, you are deffo getting worse. Very funny tho.

I think it is disgracefull in this day and age, that a leader who was not chosen by people can impose hard line policies on the whole country.
I'm not talking about Mubarak, but Cameron.
remember the good times where unwanted leaders were brought off the office by angry crowds and murdered....
Jesus Christ.
Such is Democracy...we each have our 'cross' to bear.Quote:

I am such a cynic!
... of the end? Or just the end of the beginning?Quote:

Right to be so too, BH! I can't help worrying slightly though about what happens when disillusionment sets in again... Remember Obama!Quote:
