We live in unusual times

Today it is really sunny in London - it makes you feel better to have sunshine.
In Scotland there was a by-election and the governing Labour Party was defeated. Probably not a surprise as this government has been in power for almost a decade.
What was odd that the victors were the Liberal Democrats. This a party whose leader resigned when he was exposed as an alcoholic, one of the contenders to replace him was revealed to have hired rent boys for two years, and another had difficulties in revealing his sexuality, denying it one day and then 'admitting' it the next. Perhaps all publicity is good publicity - but in scotland normally the protest vote goes to the Nationalists - who were well placed to suceed. As I said we live in unusual times!
