I've just been watching the Cameron-Clegg press conference in the garden of No. 10 Downing Street. Any new political situation such as this that upsets the status quo and makes people think or rethink surely has to be a good thing, but who knows what will come of it? The two men look so alike that I have a premonition of something like Alice's encounter in Chapter IV of Through The Looking Glass:
one of them had `DUM' embroidered on his collar, and the other `DEE.' `I suppose they've each got 'TWEEDLE' round at the back of the collar,' she said to herself.
where
the words of the old song kept ringing through her head like the ticking of a clock:
'Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.'
