Monday was supposed to be the day when the Election Campaign turned to the environment and climate change. You wouldn't know it in the mainstream media. Everything still dominated by talks of hung parliaments and where X will do a deal with Y.
The BBC showed an environment debate, the gist of which is shown below

The fact that the Green Party was invited to the debate, I suppose is a victory, whether the spokesman received equal treatment is open to debate.
Spent some of the afternoon reading Chris Mullin's account of life as a junior minister. The battle he had not using the ministerial car beggared belief, and his battle to deal with leylandii hedges, tells you that the DoE had far to go.
The evening was spent watching "House" without doubt one of the best TV drama series of recent years.
