It is the predecessor I think. It's about trainee cops getting caught in the Watts riots.
Very funny, I never got into his later books about detectives.
Harriet Harman Page 2
I did read The Glitter Dome once - I was in Toronto, I remember that but I don't remember anything about the book!
I don't know really who she is, except that she is a politician and lots of people hate her. Is she really PC? I read that somewhere.
They all are.

Except the Conservatives?
Now I think about it she is a shrill whiny incompetent and has a rare talent for incompetence, on stuff that isn't even neccesary.
Her recent decision that women can premedatively kill men, but men can never be provoked to violence.
Stupid and counter productive.
This current labour party is starting to feel like a giant work experience project for the simple minded.
And she kept her mouth shut about that Asian guy who killed a bloke attacking his son.
Worried about losing another safe seat? You she-arse.
This country needs a violent Lib-Dem revoloution
Oh give me death or proportional representation.

Sadly, even most of them.

I, as a woman, think that that law that says women can kill men but not the other way around is stupid.
Thankyou.

Say it ain't so? 
See as a partial socialist it depress's the hell out of me. That the utter failure of this Labour government may have broken the party.
The number of people I know who won't vote for them and are cancelling their membership. Because they won't support a party that dragged us into 2 stupid wars, did nothing for poverty and has been so financially incompetent.
I hope more people switch to Lib Dem and force them onto a more left wing path.
But I suspect you'll just see a lot more fringe parties appearing.

I'd rather be Conservative to be honest.

Now that's an excellent quote. I'm going to steal it. 
David Cameron eh, no wonder he's smiling.
He's like a guy who turns up for a duel and the other guy's got the pistol barrel in his own ear.
I'd piss myself if the Greens won a seat, that would be very funny.
I had a dream the other night where I asked David Cameron for his autograph, but I didn't have enough room in my notebook, so we left it in the end.
What would Parliament do, if there wasn't a simple majority for one party? Coalition or minority government? It'd be up to the leader of the majority party, wouldn't it?
I don't know what to think of the LibDems, yet. They seem to have pretty much the same agenda as the Social Democrats in Germany, but they aren't pursuing it very seriously, are they?
Hmm last time we had a situation like that, we had a bloody civil war.
That's a pretty good idea.
I'm going to be a Roundhead!
Essentially though the Queen inivites some one to be PM.
I suspect one party would form a coalition of all the little parties with their own one.
