Douglas Hogg is to stand down at the next election - Owlperson will miss him but it is and should be inevitable that the man with the moat should, in future, clean it at his own expense rather than ours.
Card for him: The Hermit, reversed - Reversed, the Hermit represents over-caution, enforced solitude, timidity and fear of facing the world and honestly interacting with others. His meditations are an indulgence and an excuse for avoiding life, and he misses chances to help others with his knowledge through hesitation, clumsiness, and lack of empathy. Hogg - Viscount Hailsham - was doomed from the moment the word "moat" entered this scandal, and will now have to retire to the island within rather than be allowed to remain representing his Lincolnshire constituency.
The only downside - The Lovers reversed - is that the candidate who will be imposed on the constituency will not get on well with the local association, and will cause a lot of friction with people in the future as well. Oh dear.
