Just in case you missed it, Barack Obama’s brilliant moving election night acceptance speech is worth seeing in full. Bold, gracious, statesmanlike and above all, more inspiring than any American politician since Kennedy. Even my politically-agnostic teenaged daughter said it made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. What a contrast to that illiterate idiot Bush and our own rude, divisive and arrogant Premier.

Change has ineed come – and not before time.
