Patriot games
Unusually for a football fan, I'm not that keen on the World Cup. It's not just that everyone suddenly becomes a football fan, it's more the sight of people rushing out to buy cheap plastic flags of St. George (made in China) to then strap, patriotically, onto their foreign cars... without the slightest hint of irony.
Yet if I stuck a German flag on my British car, I'd be considered deeply unpatriotic.

Yellow peril
Interesting that Nick Clegg apparently refused to work with Gordon Brown on that basis that the former PM had been resoundingly rejected by the electorate. Given that Clegg managed to bag even less seats than the paltry number his party gained at the previous election, Gordon Brown's 'unpopularity' is the sort of popularity that Clegg can only dream about.
But, now that he's virtually running the country, I don't suppose he's too bothered.
Funny old game, Politics.
