winterbadgerThat something good, something hugely good for this country and all the world is going to come out of this disappointing, difficult, frustrating, and heartbreaking year.
That something is going to bring my country that I so often despair of, but that I love, out of a bitter, pointless bickering into a better place where we might just possibly learn to listen to each other and talk sensibly again about the things we really need to do, instead of arguing pointlessly, trying to find imaginary grievances over issues that none of us can really solve.
I'm only hopeful, and I may yet be proved wrong by events, but I am happier tonight than I have been in a long time.
