Wot, no Szamuely?

Keen readers of the Blog will have noticed a certain dearth of postings from my co-editor, Helen Szamuely.

No, we haven't fallen out. She is off on an all-expenses-paid jolly to Vienna, to take part in a debate on the "future of the EU" or some such. (She gets Vienna and I get the prison cell… hmmm.)

Whilst there, she is taking the opportunity to dart over the border to visit friends and relatives in Hungary, from whence, she promises me, she will post a "letter from Vienna". This may have to wait until she returns, and I for one will be mightily relieved when she does.
