I really enjoyed watching the Liverpool/Arsenal game the other night. I had been out at a Unite Against Fascism meeting and only caught the last 15 minutes but I was disturbing the rest of the family in the next room with all my shouts of disbelief.

Its great to see four English teams in the last eight of the Champions League. Quite a remarkable achievement.  I’m not sure we can take much patriotic pride in it though.

Hot on the heels of Direct Democracy and C-Change, this week’s group of Tories with a big idea is called Cornerstone who are urging their party to adopt a “faith, flag and family” agenda. They sound exactly like people Alan Duncan described as the “Tory Taliban” last week. One of their ideas is to have […]
